HORIZON TOP LAUNCHES
SONY DUALSENSE

Sony’s PS5 reveal is running at a trickle. We’ve seen specs, we’ve seen a (likely bogus) render of the main console, and now we’re seeing the DualSense, the most radical controller change Sony has made, well, ever. Borrowing from the design language of the PSVR headset and dialling up the sci-fi, it subtly tweaks just about every long-established aspect of DualShocks of old. There are new curves, designed to make the controller feel smaller than it looks, and that two-tone design begs for future customisation options. There are re-angled adaptive triggers, which can ramp up in tension as games require, a built-in microphone array and speaker, and haptic feedback to pipe game actions directly to your fingers and thumbs. There’s even a mysterious ‘Create’ button where the Share button used to be.
T3 SAYS: We can’t wait to get our hands on it.

RAZER BLADE 15
Approx. ₹1,50,000, razer.com
Razer’s unibody laptops have long been little gems – and with a new generation of mobile graphics comes a highly desirable upgrade to the jewel in its crown. The newest Blade 15 comes in Base and Advanced varieties; each carries a tenth-gen Intel Core chip within its aluminium unibody shell. You can, depending on your spend, dial in anything from a GTX 1660 Ti to a RTX 2080 SUPER which is, let’s be frank, a rather ridiculous spec for a laptop this size; good job the Advanced model has vapor chamber cooling to keep everything in check. And we’ve not even mentioned the screen, a 15.6” OLED that runs at 144Hz in the base model and a stupendous 300Hz
