Welcome to the September 2025 edition of NXT. Our main feature this month focuses on how AI-powered cooking machines are quietly reshaping home kitchens into precision labs. We cut past marketing gloss to show how induction searing, sensor-steady low heat, controlled agitation, and in-bowl weighing fast-track restaurant textures without a brigade on standby.
You’ll see how guided recipes act like a calm sous-chef, while manual modes let you improvise like a pro; how multi-tier steaming, reverse-stir, and combo steam-crisp workflows deliver crisp-outside, juicy-inside results in one footprint; and how connected libraries, voice prompts, and tablet control keep the learning curve low but the ceiling high.
Under the Gear section, we have featured Apple iPhone 17 series, Hasselblad X2D ll 100C, Sony RX 1R lll, Google Pixel 10 series, and Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar Max.
Our NXT Angel Han Yun has tested out the new Acer Swift Edge 14 AI; it feels less like a laptop and more like a trusted work partner.
Under the Luxury section, we have featured the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Skeleton Aston Martin Edition, Tiffany & Co. Ultra-Luxe Desk Clock, Hublot Big Bang Titanium Dragon, The Cometa M2, and OMEGA Seamaster Diver 300M Editions.
Our Test section zeroes in on the HP Omen Max Gaming Laptop, Datacolor Spyder Express, and Hyper X Cloud 3 S Gaming Headset. We put the Omen Max through back-to-back creator and esports runs. Then we dial in accuracy with the Spyder Express, using quick guided calibrations to tame mismatched displays so edits on your laptop look the same on your studio monitor and in print.
Lastly, in NXT Big Thing, we take a 2075 deep dive where software runs the pass. AI sous-chefs crunch climate feeds and provenance ledgers to plan menus; robotic arms and microfluidic flavour stations execute with gram-level, microlitre precision; hyperspectral cameras, AR overlays, and sensor-driven hoods validate doneness, allergens, and sourcing in real time.
NXT is available at all major newsstands, bookstores, and the digital version is available to download at magzter.com
