Best Innovation - Canon EOS R3

"Eye Control autofocus is Canon's latest feature brought to the R3, which provides the user's line of sight as the main focal point and racks focus automatically detected by the sensors within the EVF."

Sony A7IV.jpg

Best of Hybrid - Sony A7IV

"Colour science has been improved from 8-bit 4:2:0 to 10-bit 4:2:2 and removing the green tint that was annoyingly prominent in most Sony cameras before it. But the biggest improvement of all is that it now comes with a flip-out screen and also an improved EVF."

Macbook Pro.jpg

Best of the Best - Macbook Pro 2021

"You have to admit that the new M1 Pro and M1 Max chips from Apple are just out of this world. I could render a 10 minute 4K video in just five minutes, and it’s able to dish out that level of performance on battery."

Best Gaming - Lenovo Legion 7

"In any of the games that we threw at it, it basically performed superbly with great temperatures to boot. And if you’re interested in ray-traced gaming, it’s more than capable as well. All in all, if you’re simply looking for the best of the best in terms of performance, this is probably it."

Huawei Matebook X Pro.png

Best Value - Huawei Matebook X Pro

"This is probably the most ultrabook-like laptop of the bunch. The main highlight of this laptop is that high-res display which sports a 3K by 2K resolution in a 3:2 aspect ratio. It’s just great for any kind of daily work and especially documents, for you’ll appreciate the extra vertical space. Not to mention, it’s lightweight as well at just about 1.33kg, which makes it easy for your everyday commute."

Asus ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 OLED.jpg

Best Innovation - Asus ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 OLED

"It’s pretty intuitive, instantly syncing up with most of your favourite applications such as Adobe Photoshop. More importantly, it uses the same protocols as the Microsoft Surface Dial and thus you can be assured support is here to stay and there’s more to come. Coupled with the gorgeous OLED display which covers 100% DCI-P3 and is even Pantone Validated and Calman Calibrated, working with creative software is just downright great."

B&W PI7.jpg

Best Sound Quality - B&W PI7

"The bassline was rich and impactful while still maintaining control, and the mids had plenty of air and spaciousness. The treble was also excellent, with plenty of separation even in songs that had three or four string instruments never blending together, and never crossing the line into sibilance."

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EQ.jpg

Best Design - Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EQ

"These earbuds are bloody gorgeous. Honestly, there’s not much I can nitpick about with these in terms of design. The anodised case is low profile enough to slip into a jeans pocket, it’s metal but it’s still incredibly lightweight and it’s matte, so there aren’t any fingerprints or smudges."

Best ANC - Sony WF-1000XM4

"It handles everything I throw at it with ease, from traffic noise to people talking to commutes. If I had to pick one pair of ANC earbuds I would want to bring on a long haul flight, these would absolutely be my choice."

Edifier Neobuds Pro.jpg

Best Value - Edifier Neobuds Pro

"At around US$130, it’s very much worth the money based on ANC alone. Sound quality is also very, very good, with support for LDAC and LHDC codecs, meaning you can stream songs in high quality. And the sound quality really is good. You get punchy, warm bass thanks to the dynamic driver, but you get good clarity in the mids and treble thanks to the Knowles balanced armature driver. "
