The future isn’t flying cars – it’s blanket-shaped air conditioners. As temperatures rise and ACs become increasingly necessary in homes, a Japan-based company has figured out how to turn something as benign as a blanket into a cooling device. The Infinity Cool Blanket is simultaneously a high-tech and a low-tech piece of bed decor. It’s low-tech in the sense that it’s quite literally a fabric blanket that you wrap yourself in as you sleep, but the high-tech aspect about it is its ability to cool you down by 15°C. The innovation lies in the blanket’s material, which promotes rapid heat absorption and dissipation, pulling the warmth from your body and emitting it quickly into the atmosphere. The result feels similar to being in a cooler room, as if you had your air conditioner on. Sweat evaporates in an instant, leaving you feeling breezy and comfortable even in the hot summers… without racking up an electricity bill.

The secret lies in the Infinity Cool Blanket’s high-performance cooling fibers. These specially crafted materials are embedded with sensors that respond to your body’s heat and moisture. As your temperature rises, the fibers activate, creating a noticeable cooling effect. This ensures a comfortable sleep environment throughout the night, no matter how much you toss and turn. But that’s just half the story – It employs innovative insulation technology to block external heat while effectively wicking away sweat and moisture. This double action prevents you from feeling stuffy or damp, ensuring a consistently cool and dry sleep experience. Multiple tests actually show a drop in body temperature up to as much as 15°C when using the Infinity Cool Blanket. The blanket has a clever way of adjusting your body’s temperature to bring you to a more comfortable state, no matter what the outside temperature is.
No Need For AC With Instantly Dive into -15°C Cooling
The Infinity Cool Blanket is designed with both comfort and convenience in mind. The lightweight, breathable fabric allows for maximum airflow, preventing you from feeling weighed down. The stretchy fabric cocoons you in coldness, and its natural anti-bacterial nature means you can use the Infinity Cool Blanket for weeks before it needs a wash. When it does, just toss it into the washing machine like you would a regular blanket. The fabric’s quick-drying feature ensures it’s dry and ready to use within hours of coming out of the dryer, and an anti-pilling treatment keeps the blanket soft and comfortable even after multiple washes, while the reinforced edges prevent fraying for long-lasting use.
The Infinity Cool Blanket is versatile enough for both indoor and outdoor use, making it a valuable companion for camping trips or simply relaxing in your backyard. It comes in a single size, big enough for one person, and even ships with a carrying pouch, just in case you want to take it with you on your travels.

Isn’t it strange that the AirTag isn’t designed to fit into the one item worth actually tracking – your wallet?! Its bulky design just doesn’t go well with sleek wallets or traditional bifolds, and the fact that third-party companies like Chipolo and Tile are designing sleek card-shaped tracking devices just feels like a missed opportunity entirely. That is, until the folks at ESR stepped up and designed the first Geo Wallet with built-in tracking. Instead of worrying about having a card or tracking device IN your wallet, the ESR Geo Wallet is ITSELF a tracking device. It works with Apple’s Find My network, letting you see your wallet’s location in real time. When the wallet is nearby but still out of sight, you can also ‘ring’ your wallet thanks to a powerful speaker built into the Geo Wallet’s sleek design.
Here’s what I personally love about the Geo Wallet’s design. It’s futuristic if you think about the fact that your wallet has a built-in tracking device – but it doesn’t look futuristic. The wallet isn’t the kind you attach onto the back of your phone, it isn’t made of metal or carbon fiber, it doesn’t have fancy moving parts or a rugged design you can run over with your car – it’s as classic as it gets. The traditional bifold that the entire world loves and uses – except underneath the faux leather exterior is a fair bit of technology that makes the Geo Wallet so remarkable.
A full-fledged tracking chip with a Find My module allows you to track your Geo Wallet just the way you would an AirTag. It pairs with your phone, letting you see its location at all times. If you get separated from your wallet, you get an alert… and if you do end up losing your wallet or if someone steals it, the Find My app lets you track your Geo Wallet in real-time, seeing its location update on the fly. A speaker lets you ‘ring’ the wallet too, in case it’s nearby and you can’t find it.
Despite the electronics, the Geo Wallet measures a mere 15mm thick, making it a slick piece of EDC to add to your collection. It features a spacious cash compartment, four convenient card slots, two ID windows, and extra room for coins. You’ve got enough space to store up to 10 bills, multiple credit + ID cards, and 15 coins – talk about being super traditional!
The ESR Geo Wallet comes in 7 colors, all made from faux leather to keep things stylish yet eco-friendly. A built-in rechargeable battery allows the Geo Wallet to run for 5 months on a full charge… and unlike any other wallet, the exterior also features a magnetic contact point that lets you charge your wallet using ESR’s proprietary snap-on charger (which charges your Geo Wallet in under 2 hours). The ESR Geo Wallet is currently available on Kickstarter for $38 – quite a bargain for a wallet with its own Apple-compatible Find My tracker, no?
For many people, the dream of a home gym often gets snagged on the harsh reality of limited space. Traditional rowing machines, with their long frames and bulky builds, can feel intrusive in a compact apartment or cluttered living room. Rowing machines, although the perfect example of a healthy, full-body workout, aren’t really designed to be space-saving, or even good-looking, to be honest. They’re designed to be used, and then hidden away, which makes their large, cumbersome design unsuitable for most homes (not necessarily just smaller apartments). In comes the JOYSONG Cube Rower, with its IKEA meets Pottery Barn meets Planet Fitness approach. Designed to be compact, multipurpose, aesthetic, and highly effective, the JOYSONG Cube Rower gives you the full rowing machine experience in a space-saving form factor. Its unique design is perfect for rowing, but also lets you do more than 80 other exercises (so you aren’t restricted to just one boring workout), and when you’re done sweating it out, the JOYSONG Cube Rower folds down into a form factor no larger than a side table, with a wooden exterior that allows it to perfectly blend into apartments without looking as obnoxious as a Peloton.
The key feature of the JOYSONG Cube Rower lies in its name – the cube. This ingenious design allows the machine to fold up into a compact cube after your workout, taking up minimal floor space. At just 55cm in height when folded, the JOYSONG Cube Rower practically disappears into your home, occupying a fraction of the space your conventional home gym would. Besides, a leather seat on top of the cube means your rower actually doubles as a stool when not in use, giving you a multipurpose piece of furniture that you can exercise with. When it’s time to exercise, the Cube Rower unfolds in minutes, transforming into an extensive rowing apparatus complete with an app as well as real-life training videos you can watch on TV as you row, creating a simulation-like experience that has you feeling like you’re really on a lake with a boat. For users who prefer not to use an app, the rowing machine includes a digital display screen that enables them to track and record their workout data.
Under the JOYSONG Compact Cube Rower’s hood lies a powerful Water & Magnetic Resistance system that provides the resistance required to facilitate your exercise. The dynamic duo of ferromagnets and fluid allows you to experience the smooth feel of magnetic resistance while simultaneously enjoying the realistic dynamics of rowing on water. Combined, they provide up to 30 kilograms of resistance, which can be easily adjusted through a digital panel, making it suitable for beginners who are just starting their fitness journey or seasoned athletes looking for a challenging workout.
Once you’ve set the rower up, strapped yourself in, and set the resistance level of your choice, an app lets you transform your mundane exercise into something truly adrenaline-pumping. JOYSONG’s rowing app boasts a catalog of more than 40,000 real-life training videos that let you visualize rowing in a way that truly feels immersive. Designed to be compatible with large screens like your television, the app lets you broadcast real-life PoV rowing videos that put you in the driver’s (rower’s) seat quite literally. The videos act as a simulation while encouraging you to follow along, while the app captures your workout progress for you.
However, if you want to do more than just rowing, JOYSONG also has a variant of the Cube Rower that also packs a home gym in its design. Exactly the same size as the Compact Cube Rower (and with the same foldable format), the ‘Home Gym Cube Rower’ has a few more modifications that lets you do rowing along with 80 other exercises from crunches to bench presses, chest flies, stretches, or even yoga. To facilitate this, the Home Gym Cube Rower ditches the Water + Magnetic resistance system for pure magnetic resistance, along with the ability to simulate up to 40 kilograms of weight, adjustable to 24 different levels for novices and experts. From yoga to pilates, strength training, and other core exercises, the Home Gym Cube Rower lets you switch things up, focus on specific body parts, and frankly do more than just row all the time. Whether you’re looking to improve your cardiovascular health, build muscle strength, or increase your flexibility, the Home Gym Cube Rower brings an entire gym to your home without those pesky membership fees, sweaty people, or bulky equipment.
Both variants of the Cube Rower (with and without the Home Gym) come with the exact same folded size of 618 x 454 x 555 millimeters (24.3 x 17.8 x 21.8 inches), although the Home Gym Cube Rower weighs a little more at 65 kilograms (143.3lbs) as compared to the Compact Cube Rower 52 kilograms (114.6lbs). This is also where the built-in wheel system helps, allowing you to move the Compact Cube Rower around to any part of your house. The outer body for both are crafted from Quercus Rubra or Northern Red Oak, with a strong yet lightweight aluminum alloy frame on the inside. Finally, a leather seat puts you in the lap of comfort while you exercise, and pops right on top of the Cube Rower when not in use, allowing it to double as a nifty stool that you can easily place anywhere around your home!
For the people who think Artificial Intelligence is a bit of a gimmick, the MOFT Snap Flow helps you harness the power of Human Intelligence. Designed to attach to the back of your phone, the MOFT Snap Flow gives you the sleekest possible note-taking solution ever designed. While the company is best known for designing ‘invisible’ stands for phones and laptops, the Snap Flow takes the phone stand to another creative level. Sure, it props your iPhone up at an angle when you want hands-free viewing… but flip the Snap Flow open and you’re greeted with a tiny Post-It-sized notepad, a foldable pen, and a tiny folder for organizing your paperwork, to boost productivity and creativity anywhere. It’s analog beauty at its best, allowing you to quickly jot down ideas, take notes, make lists, capture verses, or make subway doodles – without an app, a screen, or the cloud. Just good old-fashioned ink and paper.
Your smartphone can be an extremely noisy place, mentally and visually. You could get a call while you’re typing an email, an Instagram DM while working on a deck, or just get sidetracked by a flurry of notifications during a video call. Your phone is a multipurpose device, and when you’re trying to concentrate on a single task, that multipurpose nature goes from blessing to curse really fast. That’s where the notepad becomes a sanctuary. You can allow your mind to think without being distracted, since pen and paper don’t inundate you with messages and notifications. That’s what the MOFT Snap Flow hopes to provide – a personal space that lets you ditch digital distractions, and apps snooping on you or storing/stealing your personal information. The Snap Flow’s notepad gives you that slice of analog, but while being conveniently snapped against the back of your smart device. It’s slim, lightweight, and hey, it also works as a phone stand.
The design is sheer genius. The Snap Flow is like a mini notebook that sits on the back of your phone. Open it the way you would a book, and you’re greeted with blank papers (or as MOFT calls it, a ‘canvas’) on your left, an organizing folder system on your right, and a flat-packed pen. Lift the pen off its magnetic base and fold its three-panel design to go from flat to a grippy prism-shaped writing tool. You can now use the pen on the paper to write notes, capture ideas, make to-do lists, or just doodle away. Believe me, there’s something truly primal about ideating on paper with a pen that a digital notepad cannot compete with. It feels intuitive and allows you to feel more productive.
Once you’ve sketched on a canvas, tear it off and either mount it on the magnetic clipboard on the right side of the Snap Flow, or tuck it away in a hidden folder behind the clipboard for later. Effectively, you’re left with a miniature organizer that’s smaller than the size of your phone… and that isn’t including the fact that there’s a stand built into the design too.
Nobody does invisible stands better than MOFT, and the Snap Flow embraces that culture too. A flap on the bottom lets you open the Snap Flow’s stand, which lets you vertically rest your phone on any flat surface – or simply rotate the Snap Flow to have your phone rest horizontally. MOFT’s most user-loved feature gives your iPhone its very own kickstand that sits fairly flat against the phone’s back. Prop it up on a table without your phone and it becomes a miniature focus. Clever, eh?
The MOFT Snap Flow measures 7.56mm thick, and weighs a mere 62 grams. Aside from the stack of papers and that Invisible Pen, the Snap Flow has yet another slot for storing up to 2 payment cards, doubling as a wallet for good measure. Each Snap Flow is made from MOFT’s proprietary scratch-resistant MOVAS eco-friendly vegan leather. The Snap Flow comes in 4 color options ranging from subtle to eye-catching, and starts at just $39. The package includes the stand and pen, along with two sets of paper – one regular and one sticky. For non-iPhone users, there’s even a magnetic ring sticker included that turns any non-supported smartphone or case into a MagSafe one so you can securely attach your Snap Flow and take notes mindfully without any of that visual or mental clutter!
The leap from M2 to M4 was Apple’s way of completely future-proofing the iPad against any sort of competition. The iPad Pro 2024 edition is easily the world’s most powerful tablet (and the thinnest one in its category too)… and every powerful superhero definitely needs a sidekick or companion right? We’ve put together a list of accessories that empower your iPad Pro physically, allowing you to do more with it, and be more secure with it. From productivity gizmos to protective gear, here are our 5 favorite accessories to pair with your 2024 iPad Pro.
1. Pitaka MagEZ Case 2
Pitaka’s MagEZ Case 2 coats your iPad in a protective layer like no other. The ultra-slim case comes made from aerospace-grade aramid fibers (like Kevlar) along with polyurethane, impact-proofing your iPad from all corners. The camera comes with a protective lip too, shielding the lenses from damage when you lay down your iPad Pro flat on a surface, or even if you drop your tablet. The beauty of the MagEZ Case 2 is how stunningly light it is, weighing a mere 78 grams or 2.5 ounces. The fibers on the back are put together using Pitaka’s Fusion Weaving technology, resulting in a gorgeous checkered design all along the back of your iPad Pro. Meanwhile, the exposed edge on the side lets you snap your Pencil Pro with ease… and here’s the kicker, the MagEZ Case 2 is compatible with Apple’s Magic Keyboard Folio, so you can snap the tablet onto the Magic Keyboard, case included.
Sometimes just a multiport hub isn’t enough – the HyperDrive packs buttons too. With 6 ports and 3 playback control buttons, the HyperDrive expands your iPad Pro’s capabilities in a way that most hubs couldn’t. Sure, it helps to have HDMI, USB, SD Card, and 3.5mm Aux input for your iPad Pro… but imagine being able to remotely play/pause or skip tracks/episodes through a USB-C hub. Three playback buttons on the HyperDrive unlock this possibility, allowing you to control playback without switching apps, dragging down the control center, or even touching the screen. You could be working on an important document with YouTube or Spotify playing in the background and the HyperDrive lets you play or pause music or even skip tracks while you work, without letting you skip a beat. Meanwhile, those 6 extra ports are perfect for turning your iPad Pro into a pro-grade workstation.
3. CUKTECH 10 Power Bank
Powerful enough to handle your iPad Pro’s (or even MacBook’s) charging requirements, the CUKTECH 10 is a 10,000mAh power bank that outputs a stunning 100W of power. A Xiaomi sub-brand, CUKTECH developed the CUKTECH 10 to be an all-in-one power bank small enough to fit in your laptop bag, but capable enough to juice even your tablet or laptop at fast-charging speeds. A USB-A and USB-C port let you charge up to 2 devices at the same time, while the 10,000mAh battery on the inside is enough to juice your iPad Pro to 100% at fast-charging speeds, doubling your tablet’s battery life while you’re working on a holiday, on a flight, or at a cafe. The CUKTECH 10’s sleek all-metal design stands shorter than your phone, and the entire power bank can literally fit in your pocket while traveling. Not to mention, a nifty TFT display on the power bank lets you know its battery percentage while also measuring the output of the power bank’s dual ports.
4. Pitaka MagEZ Folio 2
We’ve seen folio cases galore, but this particular one from Pitaka has a pretty clever design that allows you to prop up your iPad Pro in as many as 4 different angles. With a simple origami-inspired creased flap on the front, the MagEZ Folio 2 lets you quickly have your iPad standing at 62° in portrait mode, or 57°, 53°, or 34° in landscape mode. Like any good folio case, it protects your entire iPad Pro (screen included) from damage, while the flap on front has an auto-sleep/wake feature. Meanwhile, a separate magnetic flap on the side actually holds your Apple Pencil in place, preventing it from accidentally being knocked off the tablet. The MagEZ Folio 2 comes with a PU leather exterior, a microfiber interior (to safeguard your screen), and weighs a remarkable 240 grams or 8.4 ounces, making it lighter than 95% of folio case/stands on the market.
Designed to work with iPads and even Kindles, the HoverBar Duo is a tablet stand on steroids. It holds the iPad Pro in infinite positions, heights, and angles thanks to its two-arm adjustable design. You can lift your iPad up to face level for better viewing, or attach it to your bedside for hands-free movie-watching while you’re in bed. The HoverBar Duo gets its name from the fact that it can be desk-mounted or shelf-clamped. A weighted base lets you stand your iPad Pro on a table without the fear of having it topple over, and friction hinges on the arms let you adjust your iPad to pretty much any angle you need, giving you a display that’s exactly where you want it to be.
For centuries, telescopes have been the gateway to the cosmos, allowing us to peer into the vast expanse of space and unravel its secrets. However, traditional telescopes often come with drawbacks – their bulky size and complex setups can be intimidating for beginners and hinder portability for outdoor adventures. Moreover, aside from their complicated nature, telescopes were just downright unaffordable to the masses… but technology always endeavors to make innovation accessible to everyone. Enter the DWARF 3, a revolutionary smart telescope that bridges the gap between cutting-edge technology and user-friendly design, making astronomy and nature observation more accessible than ever before.

The name DWARF 3 isn’t without reason, as it breaks from the norm of what we expect from a telescope. The name comes from its dwarfed design, which condenses the massive linear telescopes into something the size of a dictionary or novel – and it does so by borrowing a trick from smartphone camera designs. The DWARF 3 boasts a unique periscopic design, a leap forward from its successful predecessor, DWARF II (which raised over $870,000 on Kickstarter). Unlike traditional telescopes with a straight light path, DWARF 3 utilizes a prism to fold the light path, resulting in a remarkably compact and portable form factor. This innovative design allows the telescope to fit comfortably in a backpack, making it the perfect companion for stargazing trips, camping adventures, or even spontaneous backyard astronomy sessions. Despite its compact size, DWARF 3 packs a powerful punch when it comes to optical capabilities, quite like a smartphone’s camera does. By bending light in a different way that doesn’t need a massively long tubular structure, the DWARF 3 achieves telescope-grade zooming but in a small package.
Portable Design
DWARF 3 brings you a state of the art upgrade: in optics, sensors, and more processing power.
That isn’t all the DWARF 3 borrows from smartphones – touted as a smart telescope, it’s designed to be entirely automatic and can remotely be controlled by a user. Whether for astronomy or nature photography, DWARF 3 is ready in minutes via a smartphone app, letting you capture the world around you in a bunch of ways. The DWARF 3 features a dual-camera system, catering to both wide-field observation and detailed target magnification. The wide-angle camera lets you preview shots before the telephoto camera allows you to zoom in on subjects, but also has the unique distinction of being wide enough to capture the entire Milky Way within one frame. An Astro Mosaic mode also lets the DWARF 3 capture and stitch together incredibly detailed panoramic views of the sky so you can zoom in on stars. The EQ mode, combined with the star-tracking feature, allows the camera to automatically correct for the Earth’s rotation and follow specific cosmic objects, eliminating the need to manually reset the camera’s aim. You can even set schedules, so the DWARF 3 kicks in at the right time to begin capturing the star you’ve set your eye on.
DWARF 3 also includes a better view and even better photos!
The true star of the DWARF 3’s optical system is the telephoto lens. A 150mm lens that actually has an equivalent focal length of 737mm, this lens brings distant celestial objects into sharp focus, inviting you to explore the cosmos with unprecedented detail, from the subtle textures of nebulae to the captivating lunar phases. But DWARF 3 isn’t just for astronomy enthusiasts. Nature photographers will find this telephoto lens invaluable. With its wireless control capabilities, DWARF 3 allows you to capture stunning wildlife images from a safe distance, ensuring minimal disturbance to the animals in their natural habitat. Whether it’s a majestic hawk soaring high above or a shy deer peeking out from a thicket, DWARF 3 helps you capture those fleeting moments of nature’s beauty in exceptional detail.
DWARFLAB App leads you to stunning shots on a single click. Designed with beginners in mind, the one-click shooting feature streamlines the process, ensuring effortless photography. At the same time, for advanced users, manual adjustments are still open for your precise control over every aspect of the shot.
DWARF 3 goes beyond simply providing magnified views. To elevate the user experience, it boasts a suite of intelligent features powered by cutting-edge technology. The autofocusing functionality utilizes a built-in step motor, ensuring crisp and clear images at all magnifications. This eliminates the need for manual adjustments, allowing you to focus on enjoying the view. For deep sky objects (DSOs), DWARF 3 employs a sophisticated object tracking system that leverages the power of deep learning to automatically track your target object. Simply select your target on the intuitive DWARF App, and the telescope will keep it in focus, even as it moves across the sky. AI-powered post-processing also allows the DWARF 3 to automatically reduce or remove noise from pictures (often a problem with low-light photography) while preserving celestial details, ensuring clarity and texture even when shooting in less-than-ideal conditions.
With the built-in Sky Atlas and top pick target suggestions, you can quickly identify worthy objects for observation and effortlessly begin your night sky imaging journey without any hesitation.
The DWARFLAB App serves as the central hub for controlling your DWARF 3 telescope. This user-friendly app, compatible with both Android and iOS devices, connects seamlessly to your telescope via Wi-Fi. Through the app, you can access a range of features, from basic camera control settings, image/video settings, and even time-lapse photography options. You can browse a virtual map of the sky and tell the DWARF 3 what to point at, and just in case you’re a noob like me, the app has its own recommended tab that tells you what cosmic bodies to watch out for, from nebulae to galaxies, stars, and even the Moon or Milky Way. The intuitive interface makes DWARF 3 accessible to users of all experience levels, allowing beginners to dive headfirst into the wonders of astronomy and experienced observers to unlock new levels of exploration. The app also lets you download images from the DWARF 3 onto your device, be it a phone or a tablet. There’s support for popular formats like JPEG and PNG, but the DWARF 3 can also capture FITS and TIFF formats (essential for preserving detail in those massive panorama photos).
Milky Way
On just a hardware and software level, the DWARF 3 packs quite a lot for a $469 telescope. Although catered towards both serious stargazers and hobbyists, the DWARF 3’s specs are solid. A 150mm telephoto lens (equivalent of 737mm) and a 6.7mm wide angle lens (equivalent of 45mm) offer the DWARF 3 a massive FOV range. A Sony IMX678 STARVIS 2 sensor captures precise imagery across a variety of shooting modes including regular photo, astro, burst, and time-lapse, along with videos at 4K@30fps or 1080p@60fps. For the image processing functions, the telescope has an NPU capable of 5 TOPS of processing power (an upgrade from the 2 TOPS on the DWARF II model). A 128GB eMMC comes included with the DWARF 3 for storing photos, and a whopping 10,000mAh built-in battery lets the telescope work for long hours, capturing massive panoramas or long-duration star trails. All this fits into a device that weighs 1.3 kilograms, works automatically, and outperforms most pro-grade camera setups that are 10 times the cost.

There are many techniques and strategies going around the Web on how to get a good night’s sleep, but many neglect the most basic requirement of all: comfort. If you’re sweating buckets all through the night, it shouldn’t take a genius to know why you feel even more tired when waking up, presuming you even got any shut-eye at all. Keeping the body cool is critical in getting that good night’s sleep, but that’s easier said than done, especially given how different people respond to environmental factors differently. Some find air conditioning units too cold, while others feel they aren’t enough, and that’s not even considering you might not be the only one in the room sharing the bed. It would be nice if you could envelope yourself with cool air tailored specifically to your body, which is what this simple yet innovative blanket brings to your bed and to your life.
Blankets and comforters are designed to keep you toasty on cold nights but also tend to trap warm or hot air on warm nights. Four times cooler than linen but just as comfortable on your skin, the HILU Bluvet, a portmanteau of “blanket” and “duvet,” actually works in reverse to keep your body temperature down and experience a refreshing and comfortable sleep. This works wonders for your body during warmer seasons or weather, making it feel like you have your own personal air conditioning unit under the sheets.
HILU Bluvet is made of a special cooling yarn blend, revolutionary Adaptex CoolWeev fabric, that wicks away excess body heat, keeping you cool, dry, and fresh all night.
The secret is HILU’s proprietary Adaptex CoolWeev fabric designed to wick heat away from your body. Made from gel-spun fibers, the Eco-cool Polyfibers are woven into yarn to produce a material that is incredibly strong yet also feather-light. While other cooling mattresses need to make you sweat to cool you down, the Bluvet stops you from sweating in the first place by absorbing excess heat from the air around your body. Whether you’re using it as a blanket, a duvet, or even a mattress topper, the HILU Bluvet guarantees a soothing slumber every time.
Of course, a cool body won’t be much help if you’re scratching all night, which is why the Adaptex CoolWeev fabric is designed to be antimicrobial and hypoallergenic to protect your skin from irritation. It also prevents the build-up of bacteria and odors, so you wake up not only feeling fresh but smelling as fresh as when you went to bed. And when the blanket does get dirty, you can safely put it in the washing machine in the morning and have it dry and ready for bedtime on the same day. Built to last and with a 10-year limited warranty, this blanket/duvet hybrid will keep you company and cool for thousands of nights to come.
With the HILU Bluvet, you’re not just investing in comfort; you’re also choosing a cleaner, healthier sleep environment.
HILU Bluvet also lets you sleep with peace of mind thanks to its environment-conscious design. Made with OEKO-TEX-certified materials, the blanket utilizes eco-friendly and recycled materials that help not only reduce waste but also minimize any harmful impact on the environment. The HILU Bluvet comes in cream, blue, and green colors as well as Queen (90in x 90in) and King (102in x 90in) sizes to match your style, but why stop at having a cool body when you can have a cool head as well? Grab a set with two HILU Dual-Tech Pillowcases, with one side utilizing graphene technology to keep a consistent perfect temperature regardless of the season, while the other side features the same Adaptex CoolWeev fabric for that refreshing cool feeling every time.
After introducing the world’s first thermoregulating graphene blanket, HILU is once again revolutionizing the market to offer a cool new blanket that will also keep you cool no matter the season. So stop wasting your nights tossing and turning, drenched in sweat, and wrap yourself in the cool embrace of the HILU Bluvet and get the most comfortable sleep every night.
Remember the watershed moment when Steve Jobs unveiled the MacBook Air for the first time? He walked up on stage with a manila envelope, and opened it to reveal the thinnest laptop ever made. It changed how laptops looked from then on, and when people first saw the stunningly thin MacBook Air, everyone had the same question on their minds – why doesn’t my laptop look like this? The Tetra keyboard does the same thing for other keyboards. When you look at the Tetra for the first time, chances are you’ll have never seen anything quite like it before. It challenges the notion of keyboard design… and for the better. It’s more compact, easier to use, ruthlessly ergonomic, and comes with a world-first touchscreen display built right in. The keyboard splits in half, allowing you to place the parts wherever you want for a more comfortable typing experience… and the display tilts upwards or sits flat, transforming into a dock for widgets, shortcuts, playback controls, or a media center of sorts. Think Keyboard-Meets-Elgato-Stream-Deck.
Designers: Zikang Feng, Jarvie Liu, and Stephen Ng
Trust the folks at Mobile Pixels to come up with such a unique idea. The company first jumped to prominence with its plug-and-play laptop extending displays (lauded for their compact designs). These displays were targeted at one thing – boosting productivity through multi-display setups. The Tetra keyboard does the same too, in a matter of speaking. The split keyboard comes with its own dedicated screen that can be used as a secondary display or as a control center for apps and shortcuts. While keyboards are a first for Mobile Pixels, the Tetra highlights their bigger goal of enhanced productivity, thanks to a split wireless keyboard design that can be used in a variety of ways for a more comfortable and efficient typing experience.
SPLIT MODE
SPLICE MODE
Split keyboards aren’t new, conceptually. Most researchers noticed that a cramped keyboard, although compact in size, wasn’t great for your wrists and fingers. Over prolonged periods of time, people developed carpal tunnel and ulnar deviation (where your fingers end up deviating sideways) because of the way these keyboards were designed. The split keyboard was created as an ergonomic alternative, increasing the space between your left and right hands while typing, so that they’re in a much more relaxed position. The Tetra takes that concept and builds further on it, turning it wireless, while also introducing a display into the mix.
Use Bluetooth to Connect to Your Device (up to 3 devices with 3 channels).
Position keyboards at shoulder width for ergonomic comfort.

Type Away!
Broadly, the Tetra exists in three pieces – a central display unit, and the two keyboard halves that attach onto either side. Snap them together or use them independently, the Tetra gives you freedom to set your workspace up exactly the way you want. When attached together in a linear format, you’ve got a comfortable split keyboard with a screen in the middle. The screen functions as an extra display, a shortcut center, or perhaps even a trackpad if you want. The keyboards get spaced out on the left and right, allowing you to type comfortably without having your fingers and wrists bend awkwardly. Alternatively, you can snap the keyboard’s halves away from the display, accessing what Mobile Pixels calls the ‘Split Mode’. The keyboards then can sit anywhere on your desk, as can the screen, giving you full ergonomic freedom. If you want a more traditional keyboard experience, just the two keyboard halves can be attached to each other, creating a compact typing device, while the screen exists independently. Dubbed the ‘Stacked Mode’, this lets you opt for something that feels familiar, with the added benefit of a dock-style screen on the side.
Secondary Display
The keyboard comes with a 65% layout, split across its two halves. Scissor switches enable a fair amount of key travel, up to 1.3mm, and a backlight lets you type with ease. The keyboard halves and screen also have an underglow that feels reminiscent of gaming gear. 1200mAh batteries in each half of the keyboard allow it to operate wirelessly for hours if not days, and the central screen remains connected to your machine via a USB-C cable at all times. To charge your keyboard, simply snap them to the screen and pogo pins allow the Tetra to charge all the way through.
The screen is truly where Mobile Pixels’ innovation shines. It’s a little smaller than the ones that Mobile Pixels offers, measuring just 8 inches diagonally – but it’s an IPS LCD display with a 60Hz refresh rate and 300 nits of brightness. The screen stays connected to your machine at all times via cable, and sits on a unique tilting mechanism that lets you either lay it flat or tilt it upwards to face you. Touch sensitivity means you can control the display the way you would a tablet PC of sorts… and the Tetra offers a fair amount of flexibility in terms of how you use said display. You can use it as an extension of your PC or Mac’s shortcut bar, adding your favorite apps to it. Conversely, it also doubles as a media control center for playback, and even transforms into a tiny secondary display for extending or mirroring your screen. Use it to store notes while presenting on a video call. Turn it into a calculator. Allow it to be your dedicated Spotify device. Mobile Pixels created a special interface known as the Tetra Board App that you can use to customize your display. Yes, you can even load functions, tools, macros, and shortcuts, unlocking power-user potential while running apps like Photoshop, Premier, Final Cut, Logic Pro, After Effects, etc.
All this functionality and the Tetra still remains ruthlessly portable. The three components come apart and stack together, allowing them to be carried around with ease. There’s even a soft-fabric case to store your Tetra during travel, allowing you to slide it right into your laptop bag along with your charger and other accessories. I bet your existing ergonomic or split keyboard can’t boast this level of portability. The Tetra starts at $249 and ships globally starting September 2024.
The realm of design, creativity, and DIY culture thrives on innovation – on being able to physically keep up with our ideas. Crafters and aspiring entrepreneurs constantly seek tools that empower them to translate their visions into reality. xTool, a company championing this movement, consistently pushes the boundaries of what’s possible. Their latest offerings, the M1 Ultra and the Heat Press, promise to revolutionize the way we approach creative projects, offering a powerful one-two punch for any crafting enthusiast. xTool has established itself as a leader in the laser engraving space. Machines like the S1, and F1 Ultra have garnered a loyal following for their precision and ability to handle diverse materials. However, given the rise of modular multipurpose 3D printers that can also CNC machine and laser cut, xTool decided that it was time to bring modularity to their flagship laser cutter – the M1 Ultra.
Enter the M1 Ultra – a 4-in-1 machine that boasts an impressive array of functionalities. With laser engraving, blade cutting, pen drawing, and inkjet printing at its disposal, the M1 Ultra unlocks immense creative freedom. Imagine meticulously etching intricate patterns onto wood, then adding vibrant pops of color with inkjet printing. To finish it off, personalize your creation with a touch of calligraphy using the pen drawing function. All within the same machine, all within a single workflow.
Beyond its impressive 4-in-1 functionality, the M1 Ultra boasts impressive technical specifications. The 10W or 20W laser diode allows for clean and precise cutting and engraving, while the working area of 11.8 x 11.8 inches (300 x 300 millimeters) accommodates a variety of project sizes. It boasts a revolutionary inkjet printing function too, opening doors to a world of colorful creation. Unlike traditional laser cutters limited to engraving, the M1 Ultra can print vibrant color designs directly onto various materials thanks to an inkjet module that swaps right into the M1 Ultra, replacing the laser diode module. This opens doors for personalizing phone cases, mugs, keychains, and a whole host of other items with custom artwork, logos, or photographs. The ability to print directly onto unconventional materials like wood, clay, and even stone further expands the creative potential of the M1 Ultra.
xTool M1 Ultra The World’s First 4-in-1 Craft Machine
Laser and Inkjet modes aside, the M1 Ultra also has a Blade mode that lets you swap out the laser diode and CMY head for a blade that can deep-cut into thick materials, rotary cut in any shape or profile, and even help with foiling and debossing. Finally, a pen head lets you mount a pencil or pen into the M1 Ultra, turning it into a sketch-machine that can make ‘hand-drawn’ and ‘hand-written’ graphics with precision and at scale. The modules take under 3 seconds to switch out, letting you essentially go from laser to printing to inking to cutting in one device and in minutes.
The M1 Ultra isn’t just about power; it’s designed for ease of use. The intuitive software ensures a smooth learning curve, and the machine itself is compatible with over 1,000 materials, from wood and fabric to leather and even stone. This broad material compatibility empowers crafters to think beyond single materials and break from the limitations of having machines that only work within constraints. You can now design objects, customize them, and even create the packaging for them within one device.
While the M1 Ultra empowers creators with unparalleled versatility, xTool’s Heat Press acts as the perfect complement. This versatile tool offers multiple configurations, transforming from a handheld unit to a mini press or even a platform press, depending on the project at hand. With a precise temperature control range of 100°C-205°C (212°F-400°F) and rapid heating, the Smart Heat Press is ideal for heat transfer projects like creating custom t-shirts, tote bags, phone cases, and a multitude of other personalized items, all with professional-looking results.
The M1 Ultra starts at $1299.99, while the Heat Press comes in at $299.99. This range caters to a broad spectrum of budgets, making these tools accessible to seasoned crafters and aspiring creators alike. With the M1 Ultra handling the intricate details and the Smart Heat Press adding a professional touch to heat transfer projects, xTool’s offerings streamline the workflow and unlock a world of creative possibilities. The future of crafting is not just versatile, it’s efficient and empowers crafters to bring their visions to life with greater ease than ever before.
