Editor’s letter

It’s the moooost wonderful time of the yeeear. No, not Christmas. Are you kidding? My home office is still bedecked with mouldering pumpkins and spider webs – although that’s largely because it’s become a selfsustaining ecosystem I can’t bring myself to obliterate.

No, of course, the real season to be jolly ’tis discount gadget season. As I write this, Amazon Prime Day is in full throw: up and down the land excitable tech fans are tearing open boxes of bargain-priced smart speakers and espresso machines. Not only that but Black Friday is imminent, offering the half of the economy that isn’t owned by Amazon the chance to entice consumers with marked-down tech.

It’s a great time to stock up on new gear. Which is why we’ve put together a guide on all of the areas of your abode worthy of an upgrade, whether that’s bringing new home cinema kit to your living room, distraction-reducing gadgets for your office or labour-saving devices for your kitchen.

And while we’re talking about festive bargains, you can nab T3 from just £2.70 an issue this Christmas when you subscribe. Head on over to page 42 now to check it out!
