01 LEAPMOTOR C10 • I’ll provide some background on Leapmotor below, but the first thing you need to know is that the C10 qualifies for a Cat A COE, and at over 4.7m long and 1.9m wide, it’s one of the largest Cat A cars you can buy.

02 USEFUL AR TRANSLATIONS • The Leion Hey 2 isn’t quite like the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 glasses that came before it. It is essentially a pair of AR smart glasses built almost entirely around one feature: real-time translation.

03 NOT THE POKEMON YOU EXPECT • Pokémon Pokopia for the Nintendo Switch 2 initially didn’t seem like the kind of Pokémon game I’d usually play. With absolutely no battles, no gyms, and none of that usual sense of progression mainline Pokémon players are accustomed to, it felt entirely alien.

So how else can a gaming mouse differentiate? Meet the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike.

05 TEAM RED’S MAGNUM OPUS • AMD’s Ryzen 9000 series has done what it set out to do against Intel’s Arrow Lake in this generation’s CPU battle – push ahead on power efficiency, hold its ground in productivity and content creation tasks, and, more importantly, tighten its lead in gaming with the X3D lineup.

07 GOOGLE’S SEARCH BOX JUST GOT A BRAIN AND GEMINI NOW WANTS TO DO THE WORK BEFORE YOU EVEN ASK • Google I/O 2026 brought Search’s biggest upgrade in 25 years, a new AI agent, Gemini Spark, a video-generation model, Omni, and a focus on content transparency.

08 HOW FAST CAN YOU CHARGE AN EV WITH A 480KW CHARGER? • Can charging an EV be as fast as filling up with petrol?
