Apple Homeview, Microsoft Surface Ultra, and Fitbit Edge. It's TECHtober.

Apple’s new HomeView smart home display enters the market with a $299 price point, featuring a seven-inch LCD screen and advanced facial recognition for multi-user switching, yet faces criticism for its bulky black bezels and lack of a native app store. Alongside this, Apple’s partnership with LG and Schneider Electric introduces a premium, metal-heavy line of smart home devices, including cameras and thermostats, that struggle to blend into standard home aesthetics. Meanwhile, Microsoft’s Surface Laptop Ultra targets creative professionals and AI developers with its powerful RTX Spark architecture, offering high-end performance for local AI tasks and 3D rendering. Finally, the Fitbit Edge modernizes the wearable lineup, providing a sleek, screen-equipped fitness tracker with integrated GPS and a seven-day battery life, positioning itself as a more functional alternative to the standard Fitbit Air.
