The Best Gadgets Of November 2024

This autumn brought a bounty of tech, including the new MacBook Pros with M4 chips and a redesigned Mac mini, which is already a fan favorite. Gamers rejoiced with the retro Atari 7800+, the Asus ROG Phone 9, and the PlayStation 5 Pro. While Xbox and PlayStation handhelds remain in development, Sony’s PlayStation Portal offers enhanced streaming for now.

Looking to 2025, we anticipate titles like Avowed to compensate for this year’s gaming drought, as even a white Steam Deck can’t fulfill our handheld cravings. November also surprised us with quirky pre-CES gadgets like the “Lightfoot” solar scooter, emoji-only pagers, and innovative watches for rolling dice or doubling as rings. This tech-packed month felt like Christmas came early!
