This, folks: The 2025 stretch home. We have one month left to swing around the sun before the start of the new year, and CES 2026 is hitting us with a new wave.
But before that happens, let’s take a look back at November, which was somewhat packed with gaming announcements. We reviewed the kickass 14-inch gaming kit from acer, a modern version of the nintendo 64, $600 headphones that connect to your entire steam machine, and then simulate the VR of the VR headset. Sony even bred a new playstation monitor with a built-in charging hook for the PS5 DualSense controller.
As full of games as November was, there were a lot of great gadgets that couldn’t do anything with gaming. And if you haven’t taken advantage of our best tech gifts, best gaming gifts, and best tech gifts of 2025, you really should.
No one could have predicted that the original Boox Palma phone would get such a follow-up. It comes from there IS The market-niche, as it is-for colored ink with ink. The Boox Palma 2 Pro is too small to be a tablet, but it’s also more of a phone than previous models. This time around, the ink pad has a 6.13-inch rear screen that can display several shades of color, 5G connectivity, and supports a stylus, which is useful for typing. Will a limited edition, visible ink cartridge make all your comics and graphic novels really come out as printed? No, but you can also see your book cover in color in progress.

Got a bunch of old Nintendo 64 games in the attic that need dusting? Analogue, pack makers and other limited edition and premium retro consoles, have analogue 3D to sell. Assuming you can buy one, analog 3D is the best way to play original N64 games with Original Wired controllers (It also supports wireless controllers like the 84). Those old games should look better than ever when connected to a modern 4K TV via HDMI. The console includes a built-in UpScaler and several analog display modes that “replicate the look of the old CRT, softening the pixels so they appear smooth. Games can also be more so that titles with irregular frame rates, such as Superman 64actually run.
Look, they didn’t want to believe us, but as the senior writer of Gizmodo James Pero, looking to review wireless ears, headphones, confirmed us, $70 SoundEats clip 1 $300 Ultra open realo open. They are not the best looking, but they are very comfortable, the sound is very good, and they are cheap. More no-gimmick gadgets like this, please!

This is exactly how competition should work. Challenging Whoop 5.0 is the polar loop, life and the unstoppable strength and durability that does not have a screen. Our reviewer Claire Maldarelli praised its lack of subscriptions (allowed today), long battery life, and good design. The data gathered from the Polar Loop’s Rate Monitor may not be as robust as Whoop’s, but if you don’t want to get bogged down in detail, it’s what it offers. enough.

The frame has already been proven to make a flexible laptop with SWAPable I / O Ports and replaceable and adjustable components. For the 2025 Update of the laptop 16, the company offers a new GPU module that is actually beefy enough to play games. Will you have to lower some settings to prevent this from happening? Maybe, but just the fact that you can play games (with a suitable GPU module) on a laptop that is compatible with this (you can move the keyboard here, or throw additional panels, including lighting)
$600 is a lot of money for a Gaming headset. You should be pretty sure you’ll appreciate the living hell out of stencis arctis nova Elite. If you happen to be that person, you’ll get a headset that sounds great. The microphone is fried and crystal clear, according to Gizmodi staff writer Kyler Barrle, who reviewed the headset. The materials are of the highest quality, and the ability to connect to multiple consoles and a PC finally makes this expensive headset very easy to use.

It’s really nice to see so many gaming laptops looking … under the RGB rain wash. Acer’s Predator Triton 14 ai is a 14-inch gaming machine that screams to play games. Pretty much everything is premium, including an OLED touchscreen with a 120hz refresh rate, stylus support on the trackpad, mini-eholes for each key, and good battery life. The speakers are the only downside, but if you have money to spare for a monster gaming laptop, the Triton 14 AI is one of our favorites.

DJI’s new products are no longer available for purchase in the US (due to unfounded fears of testing), but that doesn’t stop the drone maker from relaunching with class-leading products. Case in Point: The action of OSMO 6, which completes the gopro with its flexible “lens” that can be changed from f / 4.0 to f / 2.0 shallow. The result is a serious action camera that allows users to take more creative things, such as photos and videos with more bokeh (background blur). Flexible decoration improves low light absorption. Elsewhere, GOPRO is shaking in its boots because it didn’t even bother to update the black warrior 13 this year.

Valve looked at the Apple Vision Pro and said … Nah, let’s just make the Steam Frame a VR headset, it’s Super Light, it’s good modular, and it works perfectly in Stery GRUCE SCRECK without lag. There is no spatial computing or 3D generated avatars of your enemies or white eyes on the front of the head. Steam Frame is a really easy way to get a big screen visual for PC Gaming.
Valve stepped into what could be a serious competition between Sony and Xbox’s End Consed High-End Console. We do not have the prices of the 6 x-inch steam machine yet, but based on the PC speats alone and which valve has been raising, the console should be less powerful than the PS5 and more expensive than the PS5 PC. Steam Machine is launching in “early 2026,” so expect to hear more about it in just a few months.
Slated for launch next year, the PlayStation Gaming Monitor is a 27-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1440P and a refresh rate of 240hz. It works with the PS5 (though the console only runs at 120hz) and comes with a charging hook to keep the DualSense controller charged and ready at all times. At first, it seems surprising that for Sony in PlayStation braing Gaming Monitor, but if you look at other PlayStation hardware with Flexstration coming next year, then (Pulse Silent FlexstRike desktop speakers), then (Pulse Silent FlexstRike desktop speakers), then you start to see that Sony is building its own ecosystem for its Home Console.

Anbernic is a company that has found its niche, filling a niche that Nintendo can’t do. The latest handheld is, of course, one to refresh DS games (which you legally own). The anbernic rg ds looks almost the same as the nintendo ds lite, save the two gaming screens and two dual screens. We can’t recommend any functionality like syncing DS games, but if you’ve been dying to do so, this might be the closest you can get.
In case you missed the memo, CD players are back. I’ve never heard of a beating? And we don’t have it. Judging from the specs, this bad boy is not your Sony, Aiwa, or Panasonic. Yes, it plays CDs, but the EC Zero Akm also supports modern services such as wireless audio (so you can connect to a pair of airpods or connect it to a wireless speaker), two Audio jacks (3.5mm and 4.4mm), rechargeable battery, and real-time CD feature. Pricey, but seems to do it all.
