Clever ideas for the technically minded
Dear Readers
As we head towards Christmas (with a shudder) I am going to take a look at some of
the latest tech options.
Bose Noise Cancelling 700 Headphones Costing less than £350 from major
resellers, these are probably the best noise cancelling headphones I have ever
sampled. They boast not only excellent sound, but also a great battery life. Pricey?
Yes. Are they worth it? Definitely, if you are an avid music listener.
If drones are your thing, the latest DJI Mavic Mini is available. From around £350
this certificate free (meaning you don’t have to register with the Civil Aviation
Authority) and with a massive battery life of around 30 minutes, is one of the best in
its class. Easy to transport and fly, packed with features and a superb camera, this
is a nifty piece of kit and great fun.
Next up we have an update on my favourite item in the house. Amazon Echo. Now it
comes with a clock so can be next to the bed and act as an alarm clock, as well as
having all the usual features.
Tile (you may know them for tracking keys) have released a Tile mini tracker. Up to
150 feet range and with a whopping 3 year battery, attach this to some of your most
precious items, take it to the beach, or attach it to the kids while shopping! Clever
tile! For a mere £35 on Amazon, bargain!
Finally, a funky upgrade on a diary/planner/organiser. Welcome to the Rocketbook
Fusion. A book that’s not a book. This clever, reusable diary links to your phone. You
scan your pages with your phone and then wipe clean with a damp cloth while the
software converts your scan to an online diary. Around £35 and available at
www.getrocketbook.co.uk
That rounds it up for this year. I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and, as
always, if you have any questions or comments I would love to hear from you. Send
