As an avid vanlifer, I have to carefully curate everything I carry in order to eke out every square inch of storage I can to support life off the grid for weeks at a time. That’s why I jumped at the chance to review DJI’s latest power station.The DJI Power 1000 Mini is almost half the size of the original DJI Power 1000 released two years ago with the same 1kWh battery capacity. And from my calculations, it’s also the smallest 1kWh power station from the major brands that money can currently buy.DJI’s little power station also has a few…

Apple’s September iPhone 18 event will give us plenty of tech fodder to update our guides (like the best smartphones). But hardware aside, the latest rumours point to iOS 27 having some features worth getting excited about, particularly when it comes to Siri. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple’s WWDC 2026 teaser graphic strongly hints at a revamped Siri interface coming in iOS 27. The clue sits in the glowing “26”, which Gurman says reflects a new visual style Apple is preparing for Siri.

If you’ve been holding out for the rumoured touchscreen MacBook Pro, you might need a bit more patience before you see it grace our list of the best laptops.

This refresh is expected to be a big one for Apple’s high-end laptops, with rumours pointing to M6…

Introduction As a one-time owner of a 1995 Honda Prelude, I was really eager to try the reborn sports coupe. It has, I think, all the right looks in the same way as Toyota’s GR86 and falls nicely in line with the previous five generations of the car, which are now a rare spot on the UK’s roads. For a reasonably niche new arrival, the options are quick and simple to decipher. Prices start at £41,495. There’s one trim level, Advance, and some interesting paint options including Moonlit White Pearl, Meteoroid Grey Metallic, Crystal Black Pearl and Racing Blue Pearl. However,…

Introduction Lots of things are easy to live with although this isn’t always the case with cars, especially models with little in the way of personality. The Geely Starray EM-i is so innocuous I had to double check what I had on my drive to know what it was. While many folks opine about the rise of faceless electric SUVs from China, Geely has actually delivered a bit of a gem with this plug-in hybrid. Usefully it can deliver up to 51 miles using electric power alone – or 84 depending on the battery version. That’s impressive and highly practical…
