2018 SPECIAL..... Tech to crave for in 2018

Tech to crave for in 2018

A checklist of gadgets you should own to stay on top of the tech evolution

Top noise-cancelling headphone
People think Bose makes the best noisecancelling headphones. For many audiophiles, it is Sony now. The Sony WH-1000XM2 wireless cans are your new best friend on planes, trains, and in noisy offices since they block out all background noise while delivering impressive audio quality.

Backpack you can trust your devices with
Does the perfect backpack exist? Lowepro has come close to perfection with its Urbex backpacks (20L, 24L, 28L) by optimising them for modern electronics. The backpacks have a sleek styling and come with an accessory organisation system for creative and business professionals.

Tiny drone for immersive experiences
Tiny drones used to be a joke in terms of camera footage and stability. But the DJI Spark is a game-changer. Despite its size, this little quadcopter delivers almost all the same features as DJI’s celebrated line of full-sized drones. It’s also fun to fly.

A notch above other smartphones
The iPhone X is a lovely phone , but without the notch it would look like every other bezel-free phone this year. The notch on the iPhone X spices things up and due to the complicated engineering demands it instantly makes the phone feel more luxurious. It holds the TrueDepth camera module.

Accelerate your workflow
Two years ago Intel and Micron Technology announced a new form of computer memory that was non-volatile like flash, but nearly as fast as DRAM. Intel Optane memory is the first attempt to employ the tech at a consumer level. The stick lets you speed up old hard drives, sometimes giving them twice the speed.

Take opulence behind the TV screen
The Dreamscreen is backlighting system for your TV — a series of sticky lights, wires and an app that projects ambient, super-colourful lights from the back of your TV that echo what’s going on at the edges of your screen. It is excellent for making gaming on your big screen bigger and brighter.

Wireless trackball for comfort and precision
The MX Ergo trackball is the first Bluetooth trackball from Logitech. There’s a movable plate on the bottom of the trackball that lets you adjust the hand position, and an easy-to-hit button instantly adjusts the DPI-perfect for gamers or artists in need of precision.

Wire free security camera with HD feed
The Netgear Arlo Pro 2 is a weatherresistant camera that can be placed just about anywhere. With a sleek, compact design and inconspicuous profile, the wire-free security camera system keeps a discreet yet vigilant eye on your home and business, loved ones, pets, and visitors, both indoors and out.
