Welcome to the September 2025 edition of NXT. Our main feature this month focuses on the cutting edge of big-screen brilliance with Smarter Screens, Faster Laps. With Singapore’s night race as the backdrop, we explore how AI-powered TVs from leading brands like LG, Samsung, Sony, Xiaomi, Hisense, Panasonic, PRISM+, and Sharp are redefining how we experience high-speed sport.
These aren’t just displays—they’re split-second decision-makers, capable of reading the scene, predicting motion, and rendering every lap with uncanny precision. From OLED’s perfect blacks to Mini-LED’s searing brightness, from AI-driven motion smoothing to adaptive HDR that keeps pace from dusk to floodlights, we cut through the spec sheet noise to show how these technologies make every brake, apex, and overtake crystal clear.
Under the Gear section, we have featured Prodrive Racing Simulator, Thermomix TM7, Dell Pro Max series, Acer Swift X and Acer Edge 14 AI, and DJI Osmo 360.
Our NXT Angel Lin Ling has tested out the new Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is built for gamers and refined for everyday work.
In this exclusive NXT supplement, cutting-edge tech and timeless craftsmanship collide as Lenovo and TAG Heuer unveil their most distinctive creations of the year.
The spotlight shines on Lenovo’s new ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 and ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 9, both AI-ready ultralight laptops designed for modern professionals, alongside Tag Heuer’s Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph and Carrera Skipper, timepieces that blend Swiss innovation with bold design.
The feature explores how both brands continue to redefine performance in their respective domains—pushing the envelope in style, precision, and productivity. From executive accessories to breakthrough engineering, this curated collection celebrates the pursuit of excellence in both milliseconds and microseconds.
Our Test section puts the spotlight on three standouts: the ultra-light Acer Swift Edge 14 AI, the refined Lenovo ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition, and the sonically impressive JBL Tour One M3.
Whether you’re tapping into the Swift Edge’s AI-boosted performance and OLED brilliance for creative workflows, enjoying the ThinkPad X9’s meticulous engineering and productivity-driven features, or slipping into the JBL Tour One M3’s adaptive noise cancellation and Hi-Res wireless audio for an escape from the world, these picks show that power, precision, and pure listening pleasure can sit comfortably in the same lineup.
Lastly, in NXT Big Thing, we step far beyond the present to imagine The Television of Tomorrow—a consumer-shaped vision of the year 3000 where screens are no longer static rectangles, but living, adaptive canvases.
