_ikea-unveils-brnnboll-a-game-changing-collection-for-gaming-across-the-home.webp "@IKEAlaunches the BRÄNNBOLL collection, inspired by the evolving and diverse needs of gamers and those who live with them. The collection brings 20 versatile items that help gamers create a comfortable and engaging setup when the game is on – and blends nicely into the home when the game is off. <br/><br/>With the fast-growing global gaming community now numbering 3.3 billion, gaming is the world’s largest hobby and an important part of many people’s everyday lives. Today’s gaming is a dynamic activity across different devices and spaces within the home, that involves people of all ages and skill levels. Building on the first-ever IKEA gaming series with Republic of Gamers in 2021, BRÄNNBOLL explores smart solutions for casual gamers that value style and functionality, who want to play together and move fluidly between different platforms and postures. <br/><br/>The collection offers a versatile range of furniture, storage solutions and accessories, designed to not only improve the gaming experience but also support everyday scenarios beyond gameplay. Many pieces carry multiple functions and are designed to be moved around and adapted to different spaces – enabling gamers to swiftly set up an immersive gaming environment and then transition back to their everyday living space without effort.<br/><br/>Seating is the focal point of the collection, with a variety of ergonomic chairs designed to support different gaming postures and scenarios, including an inflatable chair that builds on previous infamous attempts at introducing inflatable furniture. Additionally, the collection features a gaming station, equipped with a foldable tabletop, integrated PC tower storage, cable management, that transforms effortlessly from a playground to a discreet storage unit. Adding to the collection are a number of storage solutions, such as a wall-mounted cabinet, castors on wheels, side tables, and a multifunctional basket that doubles as a movable self-standing table. Complementing these are accessories and decorative elements, such as a mouse pad, a rug and a throw, designed to add a personal touch to the gaming space.<br/><br/>Reimagining gaming aesthetics, infused with the vibrant world of sports<br/>BRÄNNBOLL challenges traditional gaming design, moving away from the typical thematic and darker-toned aesthetics. Instead, the collection introduces vibrant colours and elements inspired by street sports and athleisure. This creates a unique, playful look that combines the energy and dynamism of athletics with the comfort and performance essential for gaming. The BRÄNNBOLL easy chair explores how furniture can become a dynamic component of the virtual gaming experience. It engages the gamer physically, swinging from side to side in harmony with their movement.<br/><br/>The BRÄNNBOLL collection will launch across all IKEA markets in September 2024.")

_the-all-new-mercedes-benz-g-class-design-preview.webp "The all-new Mercedes-Benz G-Class continues the success story of the model series that was established in 1979. The off-road icon continues to rely on tried-and-tested ladder-frame construction, three mechanical differential locks and LOW RANGE off-road reduction as well as a rigid rear axle and independent front suspension.<br/>The redesigned off-road control unit, the new OFFROAD COCKPIT and the “transparent bonnet” enable a digital off-road experience.<br/>Thanks to electrification, the new models offer improved responsiveness off-road and greater comfort on paved roads. The mild hybrids with an integrated starter-generator and a 48-volt on-board electrical system also impress with increased performance and reduced fuel consumption.<br/>With the Mercedes-Benz User Experience infotainment system and 12.3-inch driver and media displays with touch control, the new G-Class is more connected than ever.<br/>A host of advanced safety and assistance systems support drivers.<br/>The MANUFAKTUR range for extensive customisation of both exterior and interior has been expanded once again. Subtly modified exterior with new radiator grille featuring four instead of the previous three horizontal louvres and redesigned bumpers both front and rear.<br/>New A-pillar cladding, a spoiler lip on the roof edge and new insulation materials contribute to improved aerodynamics and increased acoustic comfort. At its market launch the all-new G-Class will be available at a price starting from 122808 euros.")

It is waterproof down 10 meters. It has great stabilization, a battery rated for 75 minutes of 8k footage, and it has a much improved removable lens guard system. But unlike previous X series cameras there are no fancy software tricks or large hardware overhauls in the X4. Which begs the question: has the X series hit its peak?")
