As Esquire technical experts, we have had a busy year. We searched around to bring the best and smartest technology to the readers of the 2021 Esquire Gadget Awards. How can we narrow the search? As long as gadgets are released or receive a large number of updates after the 2020 Esquire Gadget Awards, we will consider them as candidates. Then, we considered other features of the gadget, including but not limited to technical prowess, cost, accessibility, moxy, and secret *it* factors determined by a series of mysterious judges (we after only a few drinks) . Basically, we tested it, and if we think it is cool and works well, we will give it a suitable award.

So, from label makers to cocktail artisans, from smartphones to home fitness machines, these are the hottest gadgets your silver can buy this holiday season.

The Pixel 6 Pro and the slightly less fancy Pixel 6 are the first all-Google phones from top to bottom, and it shows. These are the two most beautiful smartphones I have ever held. Google is so tightly embedded in the operating system, saving many round trips between applications, which really changes the way you use your phone in your daily life. For example, with Google Lens, you can focus the camera on any object in front of you, and the phone will run a Google search on it. When the shirt I wanted was sold out in the store, I put it under the camera lens, and Google was immediately able to dig out the exact same shirt and its availability online. There is also a built-in Google Translate, which can add subtitles to foreign language videos in real time and automatically convert text sent in different languages, such as from Spanish to English. In addition, the Android 12 interface also uses a design system called "Material You", which can adjust the font and accent color in the application to match your home screen wallpaper. Speaking of the home screen, it is highly customizable when you want to change content. Now, both Pixels are great, but this is Esquire's best phone of the year, so we go all out to use Pro. (The main difference is its 4K front camera, 12GB RAM, and some amazing telephoto capabilities on the main camera.) Believe me, if you have been thinking about giving up the iPhone, you should give up the iPhone. -CS

Samsung Folding has been on the loser's journey, and it is very interesting. When the first Z Fold was released, I clearly remembered that I thought it was funny, anyway, but too bulky and expensive, so it was almost a not funny joke. Then the second model blows the first model out of the water, and the third model is now nearly perfect. Foldable phones like this are definitely not for everyone. In fact, there is no reason why I shouldn't prepare it for everyone. Z Fold3 is very thin, the screen is full of vitality, and the folding mechanism is cleverly designed. These huge and unbelievable improvements made my old cell phone bully the cell phone I love now. -CS

You will have to spend more than $500 on your smartphone to meet your needs. no way. What makes OnePlus 9 "affordable" are the high-end features it has at a lower price (it has been sold for $650 or less). In addition to 5G and dual SIM card capabilities, this phone also has 12GB of memory, which means it runs faster than many laptops on the market. The screen quality is explosive. The camera absolutely works wonders, capturing color levels that most other smartphones cannot achieve. The phone itself is easy to put in your hand, and although this is crazy, many phones no longer fit in your hand. All things considered, the RAM and software forward design of OnePlus 9 make gaming, design, or work a breeze. It's hard to believe that this is the basic model, not Pro. -CS

It is difficult for me to find any use for the tablet. Whenever I get the iPad, I will sell it, because between my iPhone and my MacBook, I don't use it at all. And I am tired of the Apple ecosystem! However, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 brought me back to the world of tablet computers. Tablets with Android drivers are a game changer. The focus is on the game. Freed from the strictly censored Apple App Store, the Google Play application feels like the wild west. But there is still a lot to do. We cannot encourage illegal video game simulations, but this thing can easily turn into the incredible retro game library of your 8-year-old dream. The screen is very clear-12.4 inches Super AMOLED, refresh rate up to 120Hz. It's the powerhouse of movies and TV, and it's as good as reading a comic book on the page. And because the S-Pen stylus will shake, you can finally give up Moleskine. Writing a diary in the cloud is more interesting. —DN

Kindle is dead! Long live Kindle! In fact, it is very not. But did you know that there are other e-readers, some of which have functions comparable to or even beyond the Holy Grail of Amazon e-ink tablets? BOOX Nova Air first caught my attention because of its stylus. How many times have you tried to highlight something on your Kindle, but accidentally stretched your thumb across the page and lost your place in the book? As someone who often flips through the script of a movie, I like the idea of ​​being able to write in the blank space of the tablet screen. Not only that, Nova Air is also larger than most Kindles, with a clear 7.8-inch display. It is powered by Android, which means you have more personalization options than Amazon offers for Kindle. If there is any e-reader that can make me give up Amazon completely, it is this one from BOOX. —DN

8K may be the future of TV, but 4K is still very important. 4K TVs like Bravia XR X90J can get the job done, and they look good. Especially good. The resolution of this Google-powered TV may not be as good as its more dazzling 8K siblings, but, especially for PS5 games, you may not be able to tell the difference. The screen is a full array of LEDs with Sony XR Contrast Booster 5. This may sound like nonsense to you, but it means that when you see the X90J, you will be shocked by the blackness and brightness of the highlights. This is a gorgeous display that can run 4K content at 120fps (which is also great for PS5), and because it connects to Google, you can control the TV by voice or the Google Home app on your smartphone . Did I mention that PS5 looks great on this TV? —DN

TV is expensive. And now, with the 8K combination, you can spend more than $3,000 for yourself. But Hisense decided to throw a lifeline at the more budget-conscious among us. Hisense U6G is equipped with Quantum ULED 4K images and Google TV, which is an excellent integration, starting at less than $500. Everything about this TV is sturdy: it's great for streaming, it's great for playing games, and it's very good-looking, and its slim design is enough to fit into the living room. If you want to upgrade to a smart TV, 4K or any better budget, this is the total package for 2021 TV. -CS

Microsoft's Surface laptop is the first choice of my students. For professionals who need a sturdy but affordable laptop, too. They are not only capable of streaming, writing, basic photo editing and encoding, and even some games, without the excessive lethality required by animators or video editors. Surface Laptop 4 feels comparable to the price of a laptop doubled. Its design is also very gorgeous and ergonomic, giving a feeling of luxury that Apple had monopolized in the past. So I will continue to recommend this laptop to almost everyone, just like the tech brothers talking about NFT. Trust me, it lives up to the (read: mine) hype. -CS

Surface Laptop Studio feels like a laptop built by the gods. This is the laptop where I pray. It further completes the previous and legendary Surface Book 3 and resolves almost all my complaints about this model (such as its bulky nature and top-heavy design). Surface Laptop Studio is an absolute motivation for creatives and gamers, equipped with a professionally designed tablet screen with strength and flexibility. The laptop itself is surprisingly thin and light, with a beautiful 14.4-inch screen that strikes a balance between the previous 13-inch and 15-inch models. It can be placed in three different positions: as a standard laptop screen, a tablet screen, and my personal favorite tilted screen covering the keyboard, this works wonders for pen access and dual-monitor display. (When I used the Microsoft Slim Pen 2, it was even comparable to a Wacom drawing tablet.) Surface Laptop Studio is everything you want in a laptop. There is also a drawing board. And tablet. This is an honest three-in-one device without compromise. -CS

Never underestimate the convenience of a sturdy Chromebook. The ASUS CM3 has a detachable touch screen display, which can distinguish the difference between a laptop and a tablet, so that I can sometimes not use any of the above devices for a few days. At 10.5 inches, it's a handy little guy, and unlike some of the thinner Chromebooks in this price range, it's also very sturdy. This rough-textured fabric look is an extra-long notebook that you can tuck into your bag and place it directly on your thigh for long writing (or drawing with a stylus!) on the train. It is small enough that you can light it under the quilt without awakening your partner from sleep. Since many Android applications can now run perfectly on Chrome-powered devices, this can be your "work holiday" friend. The best part is that CM3 only costs $370. It's like, less than half the price of the latest iPhone. —DN

I am a grumpy person, 25 years old this year. I hate loud music, the hustle and bustle of city life, and the laughter of children. Fortunately, Jabra's new wireless earphones allow me to listen to my old man's music and podcasts quietly, saving people around me from losing their temper. The Jabra Elite 85h is light, but still feels rough and has excellent noise cancellation. The design is also very subtle and stylish-just boldly say "Don't bother me", but not too rocky. In addition, there is a built-in microphone that can be used for up to 36 hours on a single charge, allowing you to travel as you like. I am grateful for the inner peace of these headphones. -CS

Believe it or not, there are more than one type of wireless earbuds on the market. Sorry Apple, but your damn AirPods won't keep in my ears! I like Raycon's fitness earplugs. First of all, they are only $120, which puts them at the (very) low end of the pricing food chain (Sony’s latest premium products may double your price), and their wing-shaped fit ensures that they will never fly in exercise Leave during the period. Raycon earplugs tycoon Ray J, who recently made headlines with sales exceeding $100 million, is smashing the game. Unlike all the boring start-up bells, Fitness Earbuds yells "Rayconnnnn" to you, pleasantly reminding of the opening logo of the SEGA game of the 90s. As the Lord wishes. —DN

There are millions or even trillions of choices on the market now, and you can find the answer in the rabbit hole of gaming headsets. (You can trust this number; I counted every headset.) Instead, we were looking for a headset that could strike a balance between economy, quality, and of course, design. EPOS made this headset, which sounds as good as it looks, and will not let your friends yell at you, let your gamers breathe, or my personal favorite soup mouth, away from the microphone. H6PRO is comfortable to wear, will not overheat after long-term use, and is durable. If you want to avoid gulps or sweating by gamers, or you just want to buy a beautiful new headset, choose this one. That sweet, sweet Fortnite battle royale couldn't be better. -CS

When Sonos does something, you can almost guarantee that it will do it right. Although Sonos must be late for the portable Bluetooth speaker party, it does not matter, because Sonos Roam is easily the best portable Bluetooth speaker I have used this year. It is a speaker with excellent sound quality, durability and attractiveness. It can also fully interact with the Sonos home system, so if you have a dead spot in the Sonos-driven soundscape, when you are hosting or handling housework, you can place this small beam wherever you need it. It is also much lighter and smaller than the Sonos Move, which means it is the first Sonos gadget you can take with you outside with confidence. -CS

With the right TV, the soundbar feels like a useless purchase. It takes up space on the mantle, and sometimes it can be very painful to run seamlessly. But Roku Streambar Pro is more than just a soundbar. Well, it is a Roku. Not only that, it is also part of the home theater system, it is very simple to set up, you may be addicted to upgrading it like me. The Streambar Pro itself is an amazing audio device (you will immediately notice its deep bass). But with Roku's additional subwoofers and speakers (which can be arranged into a complete 5.1 surround sound system), Streambar can turn your amateur TV settings into Pro. Everything is synchronized wirelessly. If your TV is dumb, Roku will make it smart. Just don't tell your neighbor that I recommended it. —DN

You ask, why is this being filed in the "Style and Retouching" section? I said, where do you want to put it, eating and drinking? Come on, how stupid can you be? You tell me, if you see someone walking down the street wearing these cool Willy Wonka goggles, don't you think they are some kind of fashion icon? It's okay, boy, you will get there. Vive Flow is HTC's response to Oculus Quest, turning VR from a cumbersome headset into a pair of very lightweight and maneuverable goggles. Vive Flow has shifted to a lifestyle-centric approach. It is designed for viewing, meditation and other experiential activities, and is different from the gaming and fitness-oriented Quest. Vive Flow also uses your smartphone as a remote control, making it easier to move around. When HTC first announced Vive Flow, I thought it would directly compete with Quest. Although it is theoretically the case, it is designed for completely different use cases and demographics. Bringing a new form of VR to new audiences is a risk, but it will definitely promote the development of VR as a whole. -CS

My beard has never looked so good. You can ask anyone. Really not, ask anyone. Shaver 9000 Prestige is the culprit. Now, I know what you are thinking: "Give a razor to a bearded man? What the hell is he doing?" What I will tell you: I really don't know. But it is always difficult for me to shave my neck, mainly because of total incompetence. Shaver 9000 Prestige can shave my neck, even with a straight blade, and you can choose the right amount of stubble. In addition, I rarely need to go back to my steps, because it almost always catches everything the first time I go. I can only imagine what this razor can do if I have more confidence in my jaw. -CS

Philips smart toothbrushes have done a lot for me, from teaching me how to not tear my gums from my mouth, to training my intuition to determine how long I need to brush (I used to need a Smash Mouth Tooth Tunes to help solve this problem!). This brand new elite Philips is a typical smart toothbrush, with a slimmer design, a smaller charging case, and countless features in the brush and apps, providing me with the most supportive and satisfying brushing experience. Of course, you Never dreamed of owning it. -CS

When the Apple Watch gradually became more and more round, Garmin decided to take a full circle. You know, it's like a watch. Garmin's very round smartwatch is one of the few challengers that really challenge Apple's smartwatch, or the popularity of Galaxy Watch among Samsung people. A watch to completely circumvent brand loyalists? That is Garmin's Venu 2. In addition to its attractive design, Venu 2 is really easy to use. It controls your music, weather and text. It displays the time (of course) and tracks the health status. Fitness tracking is where Garmin was born: calorie tracking, activity tracking, pulse and blood oxygen level tracking, hydration tracking, breathing tracking, stress and energy level tracking... and all this is just a fur. Garmin knows about me, I don't even know. Just like that, I wear it directly on stressful and overcrowded days, and Garmin knows that I am not doing too hot. If you are worried about the connectivity of your phone, don't worry. Venu 2 is compatible with smartphones that use Bluetooth technology; it is safe to say that your phone does use Bluetooth and is very smart. -CS

Smart ovens are everywhere these days, so it's forgivable that you feel overwhelmed when you have to choose. I will help. June is one of the first smart ovens to really catch fire, mainly because its working capacity far exceeds that of the oven. Every time I think June has no skill, it will come up with more. The third edition of June Oven, released this year, has improved all the previous functions, such as fast heating elements, cameras and sensors to monitor cooking, but also added impressive features, such as barbecue grill settings and bakeware, which really makes this A versatile smart device. That is, until June Oven 4 comes out and there is a built-in sous chef or something. -CS

The blender shouldn't be pretty, but the beast never got that memo. I will talk about the mixing part later, but first let me reiterate: this thing looks very beautiful on my counter. Like, I do blend style, and I am grateful to Beast. It also has the ability to support these beautiful looks, blending smoother smoothies and less thick fruit purees. The design is also very careful. For example, the hybrid capsule can be removed, equipped with a small cap and handle, and then carried with you. There is only one button to time out the time your mixture needs to withstand the anger of the blade, so you don't have to worry about 45 different blending modes. It is also relatively quiet, and I believe my neighbors appreciate this. I never thought I would review blenders when I grew up, and so enthusiastic, but here we are. -CS

Air bombing is all the rage now because it is healthier or something similar; I am not a doctor, do what you want. But the CRUXGG ZONE nine-quart air fryer is indeed the best air fryer experience I have ever had. Its design is suitable for a large meal or two different foods at once. Compared to the sometimes hard or too soft air-fried foods I used to try to kill, it makes everything very crispy. I made fried green tomatoes and fried cauliflower on this bad boy, and restored myself to some very loose health after drinking wine and Burger King wine for a week, which definitely made the meal full. I will continue to cook vegetables with this stuff until the nutritionist tells me that the air frying is still frying. But it's not just function. The appliances need to look good. The smoky matte grey CRUXGG also crushed it. -CS

As a former barista, I should sneer at the concept of a fully automatic espresso machine. Where is the craft? Okay, but seriously, who has the energy to do it on their own? The Philips 3200 espresso machine makes everything so simple, from brewing coffee to brewing espresso to steaming milk latte. You only need to click on a screen and it will guide you through every step. It is foolproof, foolproof, and the effect is remarkable. If you want to balance the pH value, or play around with coffee strength or bean mills, 3200 can also make you strange through customization. (If you are a coffee fan, you can worry about this.) This thing is very interesting and can eliminate the monotony of espresso, even if your coffee friend blames you for not patting and pulling yourself. Blow my shorts, Jasper, no one cares. -CS

The iced coffee made on a whim is terrible. It is bitter or too watery or rubbish. But cold brew takes 12 to 24 hours to be steep. Although I can make iced American coffee, this is not what I want, so shut up. VacOne solved this problem for me. It also solved many of my worries about hot coffee. A few years ago, air brewing machines were all the rage, but I never jumped on that train. They look strange and complicated, as opposed to my coffee siphon, it is never strange or complicated (laughter is played here). But VacOne showed me that I am a big coffee baby. The cold brew that can be brewed in a few minutes is super smooth and tastes great, and hot coffee comes along with it. I also like the batches I can make. Needless to say, this air brewer has now become part of my morning routine, because I can choose between high-quality, fast hot coffee and high-quality, fast cold brewing as I want. In fact, when I type, I am enjoying a cup, which is actually my third cup, which makes typing very difficult. -CS

Everyone needs a bartender friend. That friend is often unable to contact because of being very popular. I am not that friend. My bartending method is normal: I pour too much spirits into a glass, and then put a little soda or orange juice on it. This is where the Drinkworks machine comes in. Like Keurig, Drinkworks will do everything for you. The company sells cocktail pods, and the machine mixes them with iced water or carbonated drinks. Bah, you get a delicious cocktail. Cocktails actually taste great—especially rum or anything in the Jack Daniels co-op bag. Because the number of cocktail recipes I can remember and the time I can use to make cocktails in the evening are limited, Drinkworks Home Bar Classic is a smart way to serve myself and my guests, so I can make money with the title "Bartender Friends" . -CS

Larq is known for its self-cleaning, purifying water bottles, so it only makes sense to enter the purifying tank space. Larq Pitcher must be one of the most comprehensive water pitchers, if not. In order to make the water taste cleaner, it has a dual filtration system-the standard filter you will see in other pitchers, but can capture one-ninth when worn, and a UV filter system-plus one application. The app can be said to be a game-changing part because it will give you advice on how to filter water better and tell you exactly what is filtered from the water (total amount). Perhaps the most important thing is that Larq filters fast, and when your bastard roommate doesn't fill it up, it's less of a headache. -CS

I have always been skeptical of hydroponic plant equipment. Especially the kind that (allegedly) feeds goldfish with plant excrement. Or other ways around? However, Smart Garden 9 Pro dispelled my doubts in less than a week, when I started to find small buds of basil, tomatoes and green leaf lettuce in tiny dirt pods. After the setting is complete, you hardly need to do anything except maintain the water level, and the entire system has Bluetooth functionality, which means you can track everything through your phone. The app even provides funny names for your plants, so you can establish a personal connection with your baby. Yes, I might talk to Curly Parsley Jack and Mini Tomato Bethany from time to time...People say it helps them grow! —DN

Google is my rock. Meaning, if it weren't for the power cord, the Google device might have ruined me. Google Assistant is the only smart assistant that I blindly trust, good or bad. She helped me figure out what the weather is, what the weather is like, what I should wear in that weather, or how much cumin is too much, or how to fix a blown fuse. She is also my safety supervisor. Using the Nest camera, she knew what was happening and protected all my things. There are many smart assistants (*cough* Alexa, Siri) on the market, but none of them can challenge my unwavering and her love for Google. She almost always understands me and integrates well into the Google family and knowledge base. There is not much she can't do. Through Pixel 6, she demonstrated her translation ability and lens skills. Once you have tried Google’s robot assistant yourself, you will understand why I am at a loss. -CS

At this level of existence, we are all fighting for one thing, that is, one day to own a Dyson cordless vacuum cleaner. Those of us who are ready to find complete inner peace may even experience gliding in all directions. Everyone knows that Dyson has a reason—the company makes first-class vacuum cleaners—Omni-glide demonstrates its skills in a smaller, more manageable, and most importantly, more affordable form. Although it is still a $400 vacuum, Dyson Experience™ was once hidden behind a higher salary wall. And because it is a smaller model, Omni-glide is easy to store, easy to hide, and easy to handle. It is a must-have for apartment or small space living. Or just normal life. -CS

Who has room for air purifiers and fans? No one, except the rich, trust me when I tell you we are not like that. So what should we do? We improvise. Fortunately, Blueair decided to help by releasing a smart fan and air purifier in one attitude. You can cool and purify at the same time. Other than that, since there is no better word, it looks cool. It has this retro, exquisite, mixed-material design, reminiscent of old Hollywood. Don't know what i mean? There is a picture there, so you can make up your mind. In automatic mode, it can sense sticky things in the air, such as dog dander or hairspray, which will cause it to run over speed to save your fragile small lungs. Damn allergies, Pure Fan Auto will protect you (and cool you down) in a stylish way. -CS

Screw the large ink cartridge. There, I said it. The performance of ink cartridges and ink suppliers has been too good for too long, and someone must stand up against them. (If you can’t find me soon after this list is published, please call for help.) This Brother canister printer is actually an economical alternative when you factor in the ink cost savings. You can experience a luxurious experience with your own printer. For those who are unfamiliar, the tank printer uses ink cartridges, which have a higher ink capacity and also reduce the waste of traditional ink cartridges. If you print a lot, the tank can last six to eight months. If, like me, your printer is almost exclusively used for shipping labels and pranks, then a fuel tank may last for a year and change. Low-waste, low-cost, and low-maintenance printing does exist, and Brother does it best. -CS

I am a proponent of mesh networking. Although the cloak is heavy, I am honored to accept it. Every time someone says, "My internet sucks", bang, I will use the mesh network there to fix it the next day. (If this does not work, it is their fault.) I am also a gamer. Big players, like very good and very professional people, clap with my gamers in Fortnite every night. Netgear, also a mesh network champion, has started a complete network product line called Nighthawk for cool gamers like me. Initially, it was downgraded to a router, but now Nighthawk has entered the world of mesh networking. Nighthawk Mesh is a sturdy mesh system that not only spreads a powerful Wifi connection, but also integrates with Netgear's software, so you can easily control and customize the network's VPN, priority devices, guest networks and other security features. The price of all this greatly weakens the equally incredible Netgear Orbi mesh liner. Mesh networks are not cheap, but three Wifi 6 and tri-band access points for less than US$400 make Nighthawk the most affordable and powerful among them. -CS

I want to sit on an equal footing with you: I don't live in a house, I live in a big apartment building. The people outside trying to find me, and there are many people, will never be able to enter this building, let alone figure out which apartment I live in. (Internet trolls, this is not a challenge. Don’t try to find me. I’m a ghost.) But this hasn’t stopped me from liking these Nest battery-powered cameras and how they fit into the Google home ecosystem. Quite the opposite. When I am away, I will put one in my front door and in the living room. When I stumbled back after spending a night in town, the video they made was both creepy and hilarious. Google also has a knack for making everything look interesting, and these security cameras are no exception. There are several different color schemes so you can match your security to the curtains. The partner's Nest will do its part to ensure a large number of software improvements, so that your security system will not go wrong. Protect your home, or record your most embarrassing moments, but be sure to check these out. -CS

Nanoleaf has long been associated with gamers like me. Each anchor has these dynamic light shapes in their live studio. But like all gamers, they are integrating into the mainstream. Specifically, these elegant wood plank lamp shapes. The cool thing about Nanoleaf lights is that they are more than just customizable lighting panels. I mean, yes, you can fully customize the colors and panel placement patterns. But Elements also allows you to surreally control your home environment, enough to make you feel like you have entered Total Recall. In other words, they have surface controls that allow you to dim or shuffle, and a rhythm function that can customize the lights to respond to music or sound-all of which can be done with a tap or via a smartphone . Especially the best part about Elements design is that when the panel is closed, no one will be smarter to integrate the smart lighting panel into your home. They look like geometric, nature-inspired art. -CS

When you leave your phone at a friend’s house, home, or bar, "Find My iPhone" is a godsend. Being able to always see its location can really alleviate high levels of anxiety. Apple's AirTag tracker can cover this security to anything you want. I have these bad boys in my keys, backpack, wallet and even my car so that I can find my parking space. They work with "Find My Friends" and general Apple iOS, and even notify your friends when they get your items. May you never leave your wallet under your friend’s passenger seat again in three months. Although there are many GPS trackers, few have integrated into the ecosystem as professionally as Apple. -CS

Stop reading and really look at the picture of Catch:2. did you see it yet? You didn't stop to look. OK. That thing charges your phone. What a cool world we live in. Courant started using leather-wrapped wireless chargers, and has now started to use linen, so it is unlikely that it will not fit your interior design scheme. Catch:2 can quickly and wirelessly charge any device, or charge two devices at the same time. It is also difficult for you to find a dead zone on this guy, Courant's overlapping coil system covers all the charging surface area. Other than that, it looks like a simple decoration. -CS

I swear I will not talk about the pandemic again and let myself enjoy any new life stages we are in today, but...remember how difficult it was to get a table in the early days of the lockdown? Everything is severely overvalued or sold out. It seems impossible to find a table where you can get out of bed occasionally. This FlexiSpot desk has an electric motor that can be pushed upwards. After I spent months stacking textbooks on the kitchen table under my MacBook, it was like a pipe dream. The bamboo table top (environmentally friendly and made of natural materials!) is extremely sturdy and shiny and pleasant. If you choose the basic model, it’s $410, but the interesting part of FlexiSpot is that it allows you to customize its products with convenient add-ons such as keyboard trays (I’ve tried it, it’s great), monitor connections , Or even offstage bicycles, if you like that kind of thing. —DN

Why bring an alarm clock? Our mobile phone is an alarm clock! Well, mobile phones are also the devil in disguise, lamb. At least in terms of sleep, they are. I can't even imagine how much sleep my phone lost. It was on my bedside table, vibrating, so I checked the notifications, and after three hours I was still scrolling through Instagram. It's disgusting. Loftie is the solution. It is an alarm clock (with a charming wake-up tone), a white noise (or brown noise, campfire noise or cicada sound) machine, a meditation and breathing guide, a music player, etc., wrapped in a charming, simple package. The focus of Loftie is to put your phone by the bed when you need to relax, and with all its sleep-focused features, it really prevents you from relying on your phone, as well as all blue-ray and distracting apps. But in essence, it is an alarm clock-its clock screen can enter sleep mode in the event of a complete power failure-with a calm amber night light, which can of course be turned off, and a text nap button, I really didn't expect that I missed so much. -CS

I always thought I liked a heavy mouse, a reassuring weight. But this mouse changed me. Logitech has created a mouse that is both light and high-end, and the Bluetooth response time is something I have never seen before. This is a very simple design-you have your right-click, left-click, scroll, and two thumb buttons for quick commands, which is really what you need. The charging speed of the G Pro X Superlight mouse is also very fast, but you don’t need to charge it often because it has an excellent battery life. I use it at work every day, and I can count the number of times I have to insert it with one hand. It's a smooth and comfortable journey, in a device that happens to be incredibly lightweight. -CS

Every good mouse needs a matching keyboard-Logitech keyboard. The subtle RGB backlighting of this TKL keyboard really suits me. My lighting scheme is currently customized to look like ocean waves hitting the coast, so whenever I get angry, I will remind me to make a wheat stand and play steel drum music, so that I feel that I am far away from the hell of this workday. But it suffices to show that I need a vacation. The keyboard itself is great. With lightning-fast Bluetooth response time, floating keys and a smaller design (the inherent characteristics of a keyless keyboard), it is a masterpiece of form and function. The switch feels just right to click, and Logitech has added some hotkeys for play/pause, mute, and brightness control. There is even a great volume control slider. -CS

Welcome to the label area, I am here to talk about my love for all things labeling. What I will tell you: I never thought I would review a blender, but I really never saw myself review a label maker. But I like label manufacturers. Is it because I like to be organized? Of course, but also because the label maker is a prank machine. Using P-Touch Pro, I label the jar, label the charging cable, label the soap, and label my brother's forehead. Don't test me. Someone has done it before, so their faces are covered with the label "dipshit". I'm not fooling around. But in fact, finding a label manufacturer is not just for storage, but to keep your rope forest in order, or to make your Wifi password accessible. The opportunities for usefulness and mischief are endless. -CS

I have never been a significant individual. I find the act of lifting weights very boring and difficult to do right. That is, until Tonal convinced me to be the most powerful person on earth. Tonal uses resistance training systems and sophisticated artificial intelligence to make weightlifting easy, fun and exciting-who knew it was possible. Together they provide you with achievement updates and tips, track your progress (when you need to improve yourself), and add weight as you become stronger. Tonal’s main product is traditional pulleys, but the system also includes a bench, a rope accessory and a barbell accessory. Contrary to intuition, it saves space because it glues everything to the wall. Tonal even allows you to connect to your mobile phone via Bluetooth to play your exercise tracks, which is a huge boon compared to many other home exercise systems. When my power becomes uncontrollable, Tornar will be blamed. -CS

It seemed that every store I walked into had one massage gun after another. They are too fashionable. But it is Hyperice who wanders between luxury and affordable with its huge lineup of massage guns, the best of which is the new Hypervolt Pro 2. Pro 2 has a lot of features, the best of others-better settings, softer head, more customization in accessories and speed, and more maneuverable design. I prefer the head and speed of the back, the head and speed of the legs, and so on. Hyperice did not reinvent the wheel, but did everything perfectly. -CS

Water canoeists are making a comeback, baby, I'm going all out. This is like riding in an amusement park. Not only is it not a ride, but it is actually a kind of exercise, which makes it perfect. If I had a dollar every time I was asked to stop yelling WEEEE to the rower... Hydrow would put the rowing boat back in the rowing machine. No, seriously. It will play interesting videos that will make you feel that you are actually rowing on the water, and the rowing action itself feels very smooth. In addition, it takes space into consideration and adopts a lighter and stronger design, so you can sneak it into your home gym. -CS

If you have ever seen a GoCycle master on the street, you may wonder if you traveled forward in time. This folding electric bicycle is designed by the designers of the super sports car brand McLaren and looks a bit like a two-wheeled Batmobile. However, there is a reason for its difference: the bicycle folds up in a few seconds and shrinks to about the size of a rolling suitcase. From stable handling to powerful motors and lightweight and stylish designs, it is hard to imagine a better time on a bicycle. Any bicycle, not just folding or electric. At Four Grand, this is a heavy price tag. But if you want filet mignon, you cough. —DN

I like Polaroid cameras-the way they print, the way they make physical memories, all those old-fashioned jazz. Polaroid Now marks the pinnacle of the company's renaissance. Now is not only a full-featured Polaroid camera, but also an in-depth companion app that allows those who prefer photography to be truly creative when shooting — such as playing with customizable exposure and focus modes, or taking pictures remotely. It is like a smartphone camera, only in a printable form and a cooler way. For example, Polaroid Now took some of the best pictures I have ever taken, like a picture I took of a bastard crow throwing things on the balcony, which, you know, was cherished by one of my grandparents. Hang them on my wall and I was immediately satisfied. -CS

My friends always cheat on game nights. Everyone has set their own rules, especially when they lose, which is infuriating. They are snakes and bastards, many. Fortunately, the infinite game table solved this problem for me. This gadget has many board games, such as Monopoly or Settlers of Catan, which you can download and call up directly on the desktop screen. In addition to keeping the player under control, it also greatly saves time for setup and cleanup. No pieces will be lost, the rules are in hand, the interesting touch screen, and the extra benefits of cool animations-the infinite game table is elegantly between video games and board games. -CS

I never thought I would be addicted to mobile phone accessories. But I’m here to tell everyone I know to get Backbone One, which is a peripheral device for iOS that turns your phone into a video game console. This is a simple little device, tied on the shoulder of your phone to create a comfortable little iPhone Game Boy. Its design is so sophisticated, it’s amazing that Apple, which has billions of dollars in assets, has not yet acquired the company. The Backbone app provided in the App Store is compatible with all major game streaming services, with the focus on Xbox cloud gaming. In fact, if you choose one now, you will get a three-month Xbox game pass for free, which means you can play all your favorite Xbox games on your phone anytime, anywhere, including the excellent new Forza Horizon​​n Dawn Racing games...so as long as you have an internet connection. —DN

Is the console war still happening? I really can't go on, because PlayStation 5 is really a monster now. Not only because it is about the same size as an air conditioner. PS5 really has no competition, I think never. Between Sony’s excellent first-party games, the complete elimination of DualSense controllers, and the large number of backward-compatible PS4 games that are still the highlights of the industry, Xbox Series S|X never really had a chance. Yes, PS5 is as good as they say. —DN

Project xCloud, the Xbox cloud game, whatever you want to call it-Xbox’s new service allows you to stream the entire video game directly from the Xbox server to your smart device or Internet browser. This is the game industry future. I said that! Not just because it liberated the game from the console era. But because, if you subscribe to Xbox Game Pass, you can play all the latest Triple A games (even the biggest games, such as the upcoming Halo Infinite) on your smart device, without even having a TV. Everyone knows that this is the direction of the industry. Google and Amazon are doing their best to keep up, but with Microsoft's huge (and focused!) game history library, Xbox is a few steps ahead of games. And since most Game Pass transactions involve months of free service, downloading it to your phone is a breeze. Especially if you have a Backbone One controller for iOS! Also on this list! —DN

Arcade 1Up almost single-handedly brought back home arcade machines. The size of the editing cabinet is three-quarters of the normal size, and it is much lighter than their coins and much cheaper. This year, Arcade 1Up ventured into the world of digital pinball, which was an explosion. Although it may not shake and sway like an analog pinball machine, Arcade 1Up and Zen (you may recognize it from a free pinball game installed on a new computer) have jointly created a ball that feels as close as possible to the real one. Ball machine. The series of brands range from Star Wars to cool retro Mars attack themes, and each machine contains several different playable boards. For example, the chessboard of the Star Wars model is based on a new hope, the rise of Skywalker, and even the Mandalorian. This is indeed the only way to bring pinball into your home, no space commitments or rackets are required. -CS
