PRODUCTS MULTI-DEVICE KEYBOARD Logitech K780 www.logitech.com Ever been writing a report and texting a colleague at the same time? Taking your fingers off the computer keyboard and switching to a phone’s comparatively tiny keyboard feels awkward. Avoid the back and forth with Logitech’s K780 multi-device wireless keyboard. Yes, you read that right—multi-device. Connect this keyboard to your phone, computer and tablet and switch between each device with the press of a button. There’s even a handy groove to rest your device in. ULTRA-FAST MINI HARD DRIVE Samsung Portable SSD T-5 EPIC APP Microsoft Teams teams.microsoft.com Teams is Microsoft’s answer to popular workplace messaging platforms like Slack. Teams is a digital workplace communication platform, which supports video calls, file uploads, instant messages and conferencing. The market for software like this is growing, with giants like Google and Facebook developing similar products. Microsoft Teams is being touted as the “digital translation of an open office space”, and even a potential email killer. www.samsung.com There’s no worse feeling than coming to a presentation, plugging in your usb and waiting awkwardly for the files to load. This is a particularly big issue for those high-res videos and extra- long presentations—the bigger the file the more frustrating the loading process. Luckily, Samsung’s ultra-fast mini hard drive is an elegant solution to this problem. The durable solid state disk can transfer files at a whopping 540 megabytes per second, which is nearly five times faster than conventional hard drives. With storage sizes ranging from 250 gigabytes up to two terabytes, the 50 gram device still fits in the palm of your hand. DEVICE TRACKING Adero Smart Tags www.adero.com Device tracking is not a new concept. Apple’s Find My iPhone has been a feature for years now, but the Adero Smart Tags take device tracking up a notch. Attach a ‘Taglet’ to whatever you like (a laptop charger, the back of a phone or even your passport), then hook the Smart Tag to your bag. The Smart Tag on your bag will recognise which ‘Taglets’ are in the bag, and which are not. If you’re missing something, it’ll display a red warning light, and send a notification to your phone.
