FIGURES OF FUN Alongside great Doc Brown and Marty McFly minifigs, the set also comes with Marty’s hoverboard, licence plates and a banana and tin can to power the DeLorean’s Mr Fusion device LEGO BACK TO THE FUTURE TIME MACHINE Great Scott! Lego has form for producing some absolutely iconic pop-culture tie-in sets but this one surprised even us. The Danish building-block behemoth has just released a Lego Creator set of all three DeLoreans from the Back to the Future films. ‘Wait a minute’, we hear you cry. ‘Are you telling me I can build a time machine… out of Lego?’ Does Biff Tannen hate manure? This 1,872-piece set allows you to build your choice of DeLorean from each of the three movies and includes realistic details like folding tyres for flight mode,…

Moving home is a pain. As we speak, I’m currently trading my Fortress of Solitude for a Townhouse of… well, Solitude. And once again, I am astounded by how laboriously analogue the whole process is. Moving still requires you to squeeze all your material possessions into cardboard boxes, load them into a fossil-fuel devouring HGV and then transport them to a new physical location. Like some kind of Neanderthal. This has started me thinking about replacing all my fusty physical things with digital equivalents. Why keep heavy books when Kindles are so tantalisingly portable? Why do I own so many board games when a Steam Deck offers an eye-bleeding quantity of games in a pocket-sized package? What’s the point of kitchenware when I can just tip the contents of an air…

Our mission is to bring you the clearest recommendations we can – and that means a great deal of hard work happens before a product even reaches our pages! Because we only feature products the T3 team would happily use ourselves, we end up discarding a significant number of options in each category before settling on a final shortlist to review. We select only the best of the best for our Tested section; the gear we know you’ll want to seriously consider purchasing. And that should mean an end to you having to undertake hours of painstaking research and product comparisons. You won’t see any duff products, but you will come away with clarity on which one is the best in its category or for a specific task: our awards badges (see…

1 APPLE MAC STUDIO • From £1,999, apple.com What’s better than the M1 Max chip? Two of them. But, somehow, only one? It’s less confusing than we’re making it: when pulling back the curtain of the Mac Studio, Apple revealed that it had built an interconnect right into the design of what was once its highest-spec processor and cleverly not told anyone about it. Thus the M1 Ultra processor at the heart of the high-end spec of the new Mac Studio, which stitches the silicon of two M1 Max chips together into one cohesive whole, effectively manages to double the performance of what was already one of the most efficient CPUs in the world with no downside. That’s genius internal design, and makes the Mac Studio attractive to basically anyone of an artistic…
