The new Yaber T1 Pro could be my next top budget projector pick

The T1 Pro is shaped like a cylinder, weighs just 1.25 kg, and comes with a rather fetching military-orange nylon strap. It's not just for show either. That strap, combined with silicone grips, makes it super easy to hang it from a precarious shelf or angle it at your ceiling for a late-night binge session. You'll also have an easy time carrying the thing about if you take it with you.
Ceiling projection promises to be dead easy, thanks to a built-in 180-degree rotating gimbal stand. No tripod faffing or DIY mounting brackets required. Just point, click, and let the T1 Pro figure out the rest with its automatic focus, keystone correction, screen alignment, and even obstacle avoidance.
You get a built-in 8W speaker in a 75cc acoustic chamber, which means you don't need to hook up a separate Bluetooth speaker to start watching. A Bluetooth speaker will probably sound better, but it's not required if you just want to start watching. Yaber's TurboSonic tech should help to deliver some bass rumble without sacrificing the overall sound quality.
The streaming set-up on the T1 Pro makes things super easy. It comes with Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video properly baked in, so you don't need to install any apps. Plus, if you're the sort who wants ambient mood lighting to go along with your film marathons, it's got that too. You can switch between warm, cool, or nightlight settings depending on the mood.
The Yaber T1 Pro is out now for $160/£170/€180, and you can order it directly from Yaber. A wider release through Amazon and other retailers is rolling out globally soon.

The new Yaber T1 Pro could be my next top budget projector pick
I've tried a few budget portable projectors, and most of them are either glorified desk lamps or a faff to set up. But the new Yaber T1 Pro promises to be different. Simplicity is the name of the game, and this might just be the next top budget projector pick.

One of the best portable speakers now sounds better and lasts for longer
One of the undisputed kings of rock 'n' roll sound, Marshall's speakers are some of the best portable speakers for audio buffs. The Middleton is one of the best you can buy, and its smaller size makes it perfect to take on the go. And thanks to this second-gen model, the speaker sounds even better and lasts for longer. Marshall's Middleton II speaker is louder, tougher, and now plays for over 30 hours straight. The speaker gets proper 360-degree sound, which Marshall's calling it 'True Stereophonic.' It's designed so it doesn't matter where you're standing – audio should sound just as good. Bass gets deeper, highs are clearer, and it holds together even when you crank it, which, let's face it, you will. Visually, Middleton II sticks with the amp-inspired look, but there's been a bit of a glow-up. The new control knob is now multidirectional, so you can play, pause, skip tracks, answer calls, or mess with the volume by just twisting and pressing. And this speaker's built like a tank. IP67-rated means dust and water aren't an issue. It'll survive your pool parties, muddy fields, or whatever fresh chaos you throw at it. Marshall's also added a built-in mic for hands-free calls – thought it's not clear if there's any noise reduction at play. This speaker even offers the ability to use it as a power bank, which is one of my favourite features. The Middleton II even supports LE Audio, which is tech-speak for better Bluetooth efficiency and sound. Basically, your battery lasts longer and your music sounds crisper. The Marshall Middleton II is available to order directly from Marshall now. Or, you'll be able to nab it from third-party retailers like Amazon from 15 July. Pricing is set at $330/£260/€299.

Is Apple about to make a super affordable MacBook? Here's what you need to know
Apple makes some of the best laptops around. The MacBook Air is the complete package for under $1000/£1000. In fact, I'd go as far as calling it on of the best laptops you can buy. In our review, we said 'the MacBook Air is still the everyday laptop to beat.' It scored a full five stars! And the MacBook Pro devices offer the best power from any laptop I've used. But Apple might be turning its attention to a new super affordable model. According to supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is working on a new 13-inch MacBook. Rather than the usual M-series chip designed to chew through Logic Pro and external displays, this one would use the A18 Pro – the same chip powering the iPhone 16 Pro. It seems that Apple might be looking to recapture its sales numbers from lockdown, when we all suddenly needed a laptop to work from home. A cheaper machine might be the ticket to bringing the numbers back up to these levels. According to Kuo, Apple wants this thing to move between 5 and 7 million units in 2026, accounting for up to 28% of all MacBook sales. Apple's M-series chips are known for muscle – think heavy-duty multitasking, tons of memory, and external display support. But the A18 Pro is… well, it's a phone chip. A very good one, mind you, but still designed for phones. Which leads me to wonder: what exactly will this MacBook be for? Students? Web browsing and spreadsheets? A glorified Netflix machine? I'm imagining something more like a Chromebook, but for Apple services. Whatever the case, I'm intrigued. It also seems like Apple might lean more into the 'fun' side of things. The MacBook's expected to come in Silver, Blue, Pink, and Yellow finishes. That's similar to the base-model iPad (or the iBook G3 if you remember it), and honestly, I'm quite glad. Kuo reckons this new MacBook is expected to enter mass production at the tail end of 2025 or early 2026. It's price point is an interesting discussion point. Apple will have to sell this for less than $999/£999 – that's how much the MacBook Air costs. But if it goes too low, there aren't many reasons left to buy an iPad instead. I'm think it'll arrive for somewhere between $599/£599 and $799/£799 – but we'll have to wait and see.
