Over a decade after it came out with the compact 12-inch MacBook, Apple's taking another stab at an entry-level laptop with the all-new MacBook Neo. Powered by a processor borrowed from a previous-generation iPhone, it's meant for people who mostly get things done in their browser and with basic productivity apps, sort of like a Chromebook.

Lithium-ion batteries are highly efficient, dissipating less than 10% of their energy as heat during operation. However, they require thermal management systems to regulate this heat, as it can negatively impact their performance and lifespan. On the other hand, their far more inefficient electrochemical distant cousin, the human body, generates enough heat to boil over 100 cups of tea daily and is literally just chillin'.

Finnish smartphone brand Jolla isn't in the business of competing with the dizzying array of Android handsets out there. In fact, it took a long break before announcing its latest model – but from the sound of things, it might be worth the wait.

About 10 years ago, a certain French company called Furion paired a twin-rotor, 654cc Wankel rotary engine with a 40-kilowatt electric motor to produce a massive 180 hp and 151 lb-ft (205 Nm) of instant torque on a motorcycle. It was called the M1 and was already pretty sick for its time.

Out of all the recreational and workaday-to-holiday Australia-style canopies we've seen over the years, none have looked quite like the new CX-Series from Tekton Expedition. In place of the usual cold metal shell, Tekton applies the composite-shaping expertise it honed on the small trailer side of its business to create a thermally isolated fiberglass monocoque that looks like a high-end fiberglass trailer bolted to the back of a Nissan Navara. A full ecosystem of tempting components turn the capacious empty canopy into a proper Outback camping and touring survival tool.

When it comes to everyday carry (EDC) tools, we usually think of folding knives, compact multitools, and ultralight flashlights. One category, however, is often overlooked – reliable clamping tools. The new MetMo Pocket Grip, developed by a small engineering team from the UK, reimagines a century-old device to fill that gap. It's currently on Kickstarter.

Though most tiny houses we see are designed with nomadic living in mind, the Forest is intended for a more settled lifestyle. The home is semi-permanently installed on some rural land and expands its limited interior living space with a large deck outside that includes a porch area and a rooftop terrace.

The new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro are great for most people and for demanding users respectively – but as much as Apple has raised the bar with these, they're just incremental improvements that aren't worth upgrading from the previous models.

Traditional power meters are mounted on just one bike, limiting their use to that particular vehicle. Such is not the case with the cleat-integrated CycloWatt, however, which can be used with as many road bikes as you can lay your hands on.

As someone who has spent the last year bouncing between five countries and lugging suitcases on and off of countless trains, trams, high-speed rail carriages, buses and flights, I now actually understand why good suitcases are more than aesthetics. They make travel life so much easier.

Over a decade ago, Finnish tire brand Nokian showed off a radical concept for a winter tire that could deploy studs for better grip on snow- and ice-covered roads at the push of a button – but it didn't actually make the thing, or even describe how this tech would ever work.

Berg Offroad shook up the camper scene a couple years ago when it introduced the CX6, a caravan that packs into a neat 17.5-foot-long (5.4-m) squaredrop before expanding in every direction to create a huge base camp for up to six people. The company followed up with a two-/three-person floor plan built into that same towable footprint, and now it's launched what strikes us as its most universal trailer of all: a three-/four-person CX4 sized to sleep the family in complete comfort way out in the uniquely wild bushvelds of South Africa and greater environs.

If Caerus, the son of Zeus and the Greek god of opportunity zips by, one is supposed to seize the single lock of hair on his head to capture the golden fortune it symbolizes. That can be declared of Christopher Lynch, an awarding-winning Irish filmmaker based in London, who was born with osteogenesis imperfecta. Founder of Caerus Technology, Lynch has developed what is claimed to be the world’s first wheelchair-mounted Steadicam system.
