Nothing completes your gaming desktop setup like a good screen to showcase amazing graphics.

The 24-inch screen is the perfect size when viewed at arm's length. Alternatively, you can keep your desktop clutter-free by wall-mounting the display, which can also be tilted, swivelled and pivoted.

Travelling with the family can be a stressful affair when everyone is clamouring for an Internet connection. A mobile Wi-Fi dongle such as the Aztech MWR64 solves that problem since it lets up to 10 devices connect to its Wi-Fi hotspot.
Depending on the network, the mobile router can support wireless speeds of up to 300Mbps, allowing you to instantly access your Instagram and Facebook feed.
You get up to 12 hours of use before its battery goes flat. That mileage is lower if its secondary function as a power bank is being used to charge your smartphone.

As for efficiency, with multiple functions including copy, scan and fax, this printer covers its bases very well. You do not even have to flip a double-sided document to scan both sides as it supports duplex scanning.

Most wireless earphones cannot claim to be truly cordless as the earbuds are still bound by a wire.
The Motorola Verve Ones+, however, can honestly claim to be completely wireless. Its earbuds are wirelessly connected to each other, and both are linked to a mobile device via Bluetooth.
They are compatible with both iOS and Android devices. The earbuds can be neatly packed in a protective case which doubles as a charger. Music playback isn't all they are good for.
The earbuds also have microphones to let you answer calls. They are water- and sweat-proof, so you need not worry about the earbuds being damaged by a long, sweat-drenched run.
5 Prolink PUH501-NB
$99 (usual price $148); freebies include USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 v-cable, notebook adaptor cable, notebook DC tips (set of 9), car charger cable and pouch

When you have too many gadgets and not enough charging points to top up their batteries, a multi-port charger can save the day.
The Prolink PUH501-NB does just that through only one charging point. Besides charging your smartphones and tablet with any of the four USB 3.0 ports, it also comes with a power adaptor point to charge your notebook.
Travelling is made much easier since you can leave your chargers at home and just rely on this to charge every gadget in your bag. Its light weight - just 169g - and compact size reduce bulk in your luggage.
