Editor’s Choice 2025
After long time of rigorous testing, our experts have cut through the noise. We’ve narrowed the list to the five products that truly redefine excellence in 2025. These are our top recommendations.
LG G5 OLED TV
Our Verdict
The LG G5 isn’t just an update; it’s a revolution. It finally solves the one weakness of OLEDs (daytime brightness) while setting a new benchmark for picture quality, AI processing, and design. It is, without question, the best TV of 2025.
Why It’s an Editor’s Choice
It decisively wins our “Best Overall” award for finally solving the OLED brightness problem. Its ability to deliver perfect blacks *and* searing highlights in a bright room is a technical marvel that redefines what a premium TV can do. The next-generation AI processor is also scary-good, making 1080p content look near-native 4K.
The ‘Wow’ Factor
The stunning 40% brightness increase isn’t just a number; it’s a game-changer for daytime viewing. Where other OLEDs might struggle with glare, the G5 cuts through it with a vibrant, punchy image. This, combined with the new processor, delivers a 3D-like pop and clarity that competitors simply can’t touch.
Pros
- Unprecedented brightness for an OLED
- Class-leading AI picture processing
- Stunning zero-gap gallery design
- Perfect for next-gen 4K/144Hz gaming
Cons
- Premium price tag
- Onboard sound is just average (use a soundbar)
Roborock Saros Z70
Our Verdict
This isn’t just another robot vacuum; it’s a leap into true home automation. The Saros Z70 moves beyond simple object avoidance to active object *removal*—a feature we’ve been dreaming of for years. It’s the most effective and autonomous cleaner we’ve ever tested.
Why It’s an Editor’s Choice
It’s our “Best Home Tech” pick because it fundamentally changes the user’s relationship with their robot. It’s the first autonomous cleaner that *cleans up before it cleans*, solving the #1 pain point of robot vacuums: a messy floor.
The ‘Wow’ Factor
The industry-first mechanical arm is a genuine leap forward. Watching it intelligently identify, pick up, and deposit a stray sock or charging cable is a glimpse into the future of true home automation. It just *works*.
Pros
- Mechanical arm actually picks up clutter
- Powerful vacuum and mop in one
- Incredible AI object recognition
- Fully autonomous cleaning
Cons
- Very expensive
- Large base station requires space
Asus Zenbook A14 (2025)
Our Verdict
The new gold standard for ultraportables. It blends a stunning, durable “Ceraluminum” chassis with a battery that refuses to die and a vibrant OLED screen. It’s the most complete Windows laptop we’ve ever tested.
Why It’s an Editor’s Choice
This laptop captures our “Best Laptop” award for its perfect synthesis of power, endurance, and premium design. It makes zero significant compromises, which is exceedingly rare in the ultraportable category.
The ‘Wow’ Factor
The “Ceraluminum” chassis is unique—it has the warm, premium feel of ceramic but the strength and lightness of metal. It resists fingerprints and scratches, making it look brand new even after weeks of heavy use.
Pros
- Incredible all-day battery
- Premium Ceraluminum chassis
- Vibrant OLED display
- Lightweight and durable
Cons
- Not for high-end gaming
- Integrated graphics only
Ozlo Sleepbuds
Our Verdict
From former Bose engineers, this is the definitive solution to a better night’s sleep. A marvel of comfort, they are designed to be worn all night—even by side-sleepers—without discomfort, effectively masking any noise.
Why It’s an Editor’s Choice
As our “Best Wellness Tech” winner, the Ozlo Sleepbuds tackle sleep quality from every angle: comfort, sound, and data. They are a purpose-built tool for sleep, not just repurposed music earbuds.
The ‘Wow’ Factor
The true uniqueness is the holistic system. The biometric sensors, the smart in-ear alarm (waking just you), and the ultra-comfortable design for side-sleepers are features competitors have overlooked.
Pros
- Ultra-comfortable for side-sleepers
- Effective noise masking
- Smart in-ear alarm
- Biometric sleep tracking
Cons
- Expensive for a single-use device
- Needs daily charging
Apple MacBook Air 13″ (M4)
Our Verdict
Apple reaffirms its dominance. The M4 chip delivers a significant performance boost and new AI capabilities, all in the same silent, fanless, and impossibly thin design we love. It’s the new default “do-it-all” laptop.
Why It’s an Editor’s Choice
It’s the “do-it-all” machine for most people. It combines pro-level single-core performance with true all-day battery life in a package that defines the premium market. The new on-device AI features are not a gimmick; they genuinely speed up workflows.
The ‘Wow’ Factor
The M4’s on-device AI acceleration. It speeds up local tasks in a way that feels like magic, all while sipping power. The fact that it does this in a completely silent, fanless design remains an engineering marvel.
Pros
- Blazing-fast M4 chip
- Incredible battery life
- Silent fanless design
- Best-in-class display & trackpad
Cons
- Base model 8GB RAM is limiting
- Port selection is minimal (2 ports)
