PLUS: A stellar standing desk.
Apple’s not the only tech brand debuting a gray-templed nerd in head-to-toe athleisure. I’m Cooper, the new director on WIRED Reviews (and a new voice in your inbox). I’ll be sending you my own picks each weekend—what I’m reading, what I’m shopping, and what the team and I are testing. My goal is to cut through the hype of each release and shopping holiday and deliver you smarter buys.
What I love about the WIRED Reviews team is that we don’t usually test in a lab—we test at home, in real life, with our pets and families. We pit robot vacuums against their natural nemeses, toddlers and dogs; our teenage gamer kids push the bandwidth limits of mesh routers; air purifiers get the Breaking Bad treatment with indoor tents and pollution kits; a former restaurant critic survives, somehow, on meal kits. I’ll take you behind the scenes.
Lastly, the desk and I would love to hear from you. Is your ear to the ground for living room speakers with both audiophile and designer bona fides? Is there a new dad who needs a babyproof watch that still feels giftworthy? (My budget G-Shock got a lot of wear when my son was born last year.) Let us be your concierge. Send us a note here.
