Panasonic ToughBook CF-MX4
LAPTOP
$3,220
Frequent travellers with butter fingers should take a look at Panasonic's new ToughBook CF-MX4.
This laptop's magnesium alloy chassis is able to take harsh punishment, such as being dropped from a height of up to 76cm. Or being jolted by forces measuring up to 100kg. However, despite its ruggedness, it does not skimp on features.
It comes with a full high-definition 12.5-inch touchscreen display and weighs only 1.1kg. It also comes with a 360-degree hinge that allows you to turn it into a tablet in an instantaa.
Sony α7R II
MIRRORLESS CAMERA
$4,099 (body only), available from August 2015
The Sony α7R II mirrorless camera gives photographers an edge when it comes to image resolution. It features the world's first 42.4-megapixel back-illuminated full-frame CMOS sensor.
It is also one of the best when it comes to low-light photography, with an ISO range that stretches to 102,400.
In terms of auto-focusing (AF) speed, it betters the original a7R by about 40 per cent. This is thanks to having 399 focal-plane phase-detection AF points. A five-axis image stabilisation system helps reduce camera shake.

TABLET

Furthermore, this 3G Android tablet is only 8.4mm thick and weighs 265g, making it very portable. It features dual SIM-card slots, so you can use a foreign data SIM card alongside your Singapore line. It is available in black or white.
