GAMING PERIPHERALS

Logitech G29 Driving Force
US$399 (S$540), available from July 20

Designed for PlayStation 3 and 4 consoles, the new Logitech G29 Driving Force racing wheel is said to simulate the feel of weight shift, road conditions and even tyre wear realistically when you are playing your favourite racing game.

It comes with a three-pedal floor unit that lets you brake, accelerate and change gears like you would in a real car.

In addition, the direction pad, console buttons and semi-automatic paddle shifters are all conveniently located on the wheel for easy access.

If you need a portable Bluetooth speaker, Creative's Sound Blaster Free may fit the bill.

It weighs 400g and can easily slot into the water bottle holder on a bicycle. It is also splash-proof, so you need not worry when using it while biking or by the poolside.

Two custom-tuned neodymium drivers and twin passive radiators deliver full-range audio playback with powerful bass.

You can use it as a speakerphone when this speaker is paired with your smartphone.

AIO PC

Lenovo B50-30

This all-in-one (AIO) desktop PC combines a 23.8-inch full high-definition touchscreen display with Intel's fourth-generation processor and Nvidia GeForce graphics processing unit. It is Lenovo's first AIO armed with Intel's RealSense 3-D camera.

This camera uses a depth sensor to simulate the vision capabilities of the human eye, allowing you to use your hands and fingers to interact with the computer, and to store depth information in 3-D photos for subsequent editing.

SOUND BAR

Sony HT-CT780

If your huge new LED TV needs a great sound bar to complete the package, take a look at Sony's HT-CT780.

This is a sleek low-profile 2.1-channel 330W sound bar. Its two-way speaker construction uses a woofer and tweeter to deliver full-frequency balanced stereo sound. The sound bar has three HDMI inputs so you can easily hook up multiple audio input devices. It also supports a range of audio codecs, including lossless high-definition.

You can use the sound bar to stream music from a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth or Near Field Communication.
