tech.drive.play is a quarterly magazine that showcases the best in technology, vehicles, gaming, adventure, sports, and lifestyle. Welcome to the future, where life is not just lived but played, driven, and experienced to the fullest.
We’re back with our second edition, and if you thought the first one was packed, just wait until you see what’s inside this time. When we launched techdriveplay.com, the idea was simple. Mix fast cars, smart tech, travel goals, and modern lifestyle into something you’d actually want to read. And based on the response to our debut issue, you’re right there with us. This issue kicks off with a deep dive into the Corvette ERay, an all wheel drive hybrid that brings something new to the table. From there, we cover the best laptops for creators, test the latest in wellness wearables, and break down the performance SUV trend. There’s also a no nonsense comparison of hot hatches, a look at the future of F1 powertrains, destination guides for snow…

Let’s start with the Whoop 5.0, which doesn’t bother with screens or flashy distractions. It’s like the stoic monk of the wearable world, always watching, never saying a word until you consult the app. Whoop focuses entirely on recovery and performance. It tracks heart rate variability (HRV), sleep cycles, and strain, then delivers a daily “recovery score” that’s either reassuring or quietly condemning, depending on how late you stayed up watching Netflix. It’s perfect for athletes or Type-A personalities who love data-driven decisions, though its monthly subscription model can feel like a recurring guilt trip if you’re not using it to its full potential. Apple devotees will naturally gravitate towards the Apple Watch Ultra 2, which continues to blur the line between a smartwatch and a fitness tracker. It’s got…
They’re both turbocharged. They’re both all-wheel drive. They’re both rally-bred weapons wearing GR badges. And now, for the first time, both the Toyota GR Yaris and GR Corolla are available with automatic transmissions. So, which of Toyota’s pocket rockets should you throw your hard-earned cash at in 2025? We spent time in both to figure out whether the smaller, lighter Yaris still has the upper hand, or if the bigger, badder Corolla is the one to beat in this ultimate GR hatchback showdown. The Heart of the Matter: Engine and Drivetrain Let’s get one thing clear straight away. Both of these hot hatches run the same motor: Toyota’s firecracker 1.6-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine. For 2025, it now pushes out 221 kW and 400 Nm in both cars, figures that…
Gaming phones in 2025 are no longer niche gadgets built only for a hardcore audience, they’re flagships in their own right, with processing muscle that would make some laptops blush and displays designed to make every swipe feel like slicing butter. From mobile RPGs and fast-paced FPS titles to streaming your gameplay or editing highlight reels on the fly, these devices are the pocket-sized powerhouses shaping how we play. So which phones are actually worth your dollars this year? Let’s dive into the ultimate shortlist. ASUS ROG Phone 9 Pro It’s hard to talk about gaming phones without tipping your RGB-lit hat to ASUS. The ROG Phone 9 Pro isn’t just a beast on paper, it’s a genuine game-changer. The soft-touch glass back is refined rather than shouty, with a…
When it comes to adventure-ready 4x4s, Australia has long had a love affair with two names: Toyota Prado and Land Rover Defender. They’re both legends, both deeply capable, and both packed with heritage. But in 2025, the battle has intensified. The all-new Toyota LandCruiser Prado has rolled into town with fresh tech, mild-hybrid support, and a chunky price tag. On the other side, the Land Rover Defender 90 D250 represents a refined brute. Tough as nails underneath, but practically sipping on champagne inside. So which one’s right for the modern explorer? Let’s dive deep and separate outback fact. Design and Road Presence Prado: Toyota’s new Prado Kakadu plays it safe in the design department. Boxy, clean lines with a heavy nod to heritage. It’s more upright than the outgoing model,…
