GADGET GIZMO SPECIAL Gadget Overload?





A showcase of three tech toys that may help you ease the burden...

How many gadgets do you carry every day? A phone, a power bank, earphones, laptop, may be a tab and for sure a pen drive? Don't you think our duffels and purses have become a warehouse of devices, and very soon we will need the space of a suitcase for every day office work? There's no space for the lunch box. Seriously, we're not exaggerating. It happens daily. Thankfully, the tech makers are now using their grey cells to come up with devices that will reduce the number of gadgets we buy.Here are three products that point in this direction. Take a look.

LAPTOP AT WORK, TAB AT HOME

iBall Slide WQ 149:

Every tab user misses a keyboard once in a while when a long email needs to be typed, and every laptop user wishes that his laptop was a bit flexible or lighter... If you too sail on the same ible or lighter... If you too sail on the same boat, you'll certainly like to try this new offering by iBall, which marries the flexibility and ease of tablets with the functionality and performance of a personal computer. The 10.1-inch tech toy, which has a detachable keyboard, runs on the Windows 8.1 operating system, and comes loaded with 2GB DDR3 RAM and 32GB built-in stor age that can be expanded up to 64GB. Users also get the benefit of 1TB of cloud storage. Even though we were quite amazed with the screen resolution (1280*800), the build quality, and touch, the makers could have thought of better camera features. After all, a rear 5MP (auto-focus camera with flash) and a front 2MP camera don't really sound exciting for a generation that uses mobile devices primarily for taking selfies and videos, than to work. But, overall, it comes across as a safe bet simply because of the build quality, wise pricing, and obviously, performance.

SMART SWITCH AND WIRELESS EXTENDER

Trend Net Home Smart Switch:

If tech doesn't make you lazier than you al ready are, it's fail ing big time in its prime objective. This smart switch lets you re motely switch on or turn off any elec tric device, which is connected to it. So, no more fighting with your man over who will switch off the light. As a mighty add on, this switch is also packed with a wireless extender, which increases the coverage area of your Wi-fi and strengthens the signals. To use this switch, you have to download an app, which is available for iOS and Android. The icing on the cake are its features that allow you to schedule onoff timings for an entire week and view real time power consumption. What more do you need? A butler?

POWERBANK WITH STORAGE

Lapcare YO! M-25:

Even if it had just been a power bank, we would have loved to buy it because it charges phones really fast, thanks to the 8000mAh capacity.However, this claim doesn't apply to iPhone users. They will still have to wait for another 10,000 years to find a power bank that will charge their phone at half the pace, at which the apps drain their phone. Anyway, sarcasm aside, M-25 also lets you create a storage of 128GB via a micro SD slot. This stylish, lightweight and easy-to-carry device enables you to charge two devices, and its digital LED indicator tells you the battery level. It also has a flashlight, so if you want to sneak into a dark room, this will come in handy.

For: Rs 4000
