It’s a tough gig, y’know, looking over all the new gadgets that’s arrived as we hurtle towards Prime Day, Black Friday or even…shhhh….Christmas.
Tech companies aren’t sitting around, either. There are plenty of new products making the rounds at the moment and we’ve selected some of the best offerings for this week’s list.
While some of the names are familiar (you’ve heard of Bose, right?) others may be new to you. Roku is best known for its streaming sticks (and excellent TV partnership with Hisense) but has now launched a fully-fledged soundbar.
Meanwhile, if you’re a Nintendo Switch fan, chances are you’ve been using lockdown to hone your Mario Kart skills. Well, thanks to Numskull, you can turn the regular Joy Con controller into an actual steering wheel.
Without further ado, here’s all the new tech we want this week.
