Zero Breeze Mark 2 Portable Air Conditioner
I always wanted to have a portable air conditioner that doesn't suck. Because most of the portable ACs are either water-cooled (like Evapolar) or a mere fan. But after I came across Zero Breeze Mark 2, I am pretty much convinced that it is the best and most aesthetic portable air cooler you can ever find. Being funded on Indiegogo, this portable AC has received a fantastic response from the backer community.
Talking about the specs, the air conditioner has a max cooling effect of 30º Fahrenheit or 17º Celcius which is amazing. Though it is rare to go beyond 70º F, it is always good to have an option. Zero Breeze 2 starts cooling in just about 10 minutes after starting. Since it is battery powered, you can literally carry it anywhere, even to a remote hill for camping. I live in Arizona and I think a gadget like this
EcoFlow Delta 1300 Portable Power Station Review
I came across the Ecoflow Delta power station series while I was at CES2020. After having a closer look and hands-on testing, I can say that Ecoflow produces beautiful looking eco-friendly battery stations that are rich in features. The Delta series consists of different models but the one I am featuring in this article is the 1800W power station with a battery capacity of 1260Wh.
Power stations are not new to me, I have Bluetti EB150 at home and it does a lot of things as Ecoflow Delta but when it comes to aesthetics, it is nowhere near to Delta. Also, it doesn't have fast charging as this one. Talking about quick charging, Delta 1300 can recharge from 0% to 80% in just 60 minutes, it's just crazy. Most of the other battery generators including my Bluetti EB150 lack fast charging.
EF Delta has a 3300W surge capacity which would be super

PGYTECH OneMo 25L Camera Backpack Review
OneMo backpack by PGYTECH is one of the coolest backpacks I saw at CES 2020. This backpack is made for photographers but I personally think it is suitable for any geek who travels with a lot of gadgets and accessories. OneMo has a capacity of 25L which is good enough to carry a ton of gadgets.
The backpack has a built-in pouch mode that holds your camera and lens. The whole pouch will fit inside the backpack itself. OneMo also has dedicated pockets where you can store your camera or drone batteries. Not just that, it has a battery level indicator as well. This comes handy during battery swapping.
One of the most important features of this backpack is modularity. The backpack can turn into a camera bag, travel bag, and whatnot.

Snoppa Vmate Palm Sized Gimbal Camera
Snoppa, a gimbal making company has come up with its new product called Vmate. Vmate is a pal sized gimbal camera that can shoot videos in 4K and has a 3 axis stabilization for silky smooth videos. Snoppa Vmate is so small that it fits in your pocket. It connects to your phone via WiFi through which you can stream the camera view. It also attaches to your phone for a better grip.
Since Vmate gimbal supports 60fps 4K or 240fps 1080p, you can shoot slow-mo videos too. The device can shoot for around 2 and a half hours straight before the battery dies down.
Vmate can also take 12-megapixel photos. The display on the device lets you see the video it is recording and it allows you to play around with modes and settings.
This gimbal camera looks amazing but isn't it the rip off version of DJI's Osmo Pocket?
Samsara Smart Suitcase
In this post, we are checking out a cool suitcase that has a ton of smart features inside it. Samsara luggage produces a range of smart suitcases/luggage. This smart luggage by Samsara has an onboard GPS device that can track the location of the luggage throughout the globe. As per the information, their GPS system does not require any SIM cards or internet connection for the transmission which is kinda strange yet cool.
The suitcase also has a 10000 mAh power bank and a wireless charging surface where you can recharge your smartphone. The top surface of the suitcase is flat thereby allowing you to use it as a laptop stand. It is a 38L bag that can easily go into an airplane's cabin.
Samsara suitcase connects to your phone via Bluetooth (BT 5.1). Every electronic aspect of the suitcase meets airline regulations so that you can easily carry it around without
HyperSonic X Power Bank with Earbuds
I had hands-on experience with Hypercharge X power bank while I was at CES last week and it is definitely one of the coolest battery banks out there in the market.
Hypercharge X has an 8000 mAh battery capacity that can charge your smartphone at least twice. It also has a QI wireless charger on one of its surfaces that supports 15W wireless charging this is really useful if you have a phone that supports wireless charging. It has a USB C port for PD charging, a magnetic cable attachment plug and a display that shows you the remaining battery percentage.
One of the coolest things that set this battery bank apart from others is the earbuds. The earbuds are directly attached to the power bank itself. The earbuds directly use the juice from the power bank to charge its batteries. At first glance, the earbuds seem to be loose and falling
Sunnybag Iconic Solar Backpack
Iconic Sunnybag is a backpack with a solar panel at its surface. The ergonomic design makes it one of the best-looking bags out there. Not just the look, the quality of the backpack is quite amazing.
Sunnybag has a 7W solar panel that can charge your smartphone, headphones, smartwatches, drones, and whatnot. Depending on the amount of solar radiation it receives, the panel provides the power output. The charging time is largely dependent on solar illumination, which makes sense. The best practice is to recharge your devices through a power bank. There is a water bottle pocket and a smartphone pocket on the sides.
The interior of the backpack is not that great, at least for me. It is made of a plastic-type material that looks like a raincoat. The laptop padding is okayish and there are not many pockets for gadgets. Apart from these, this backpack is definitely one of the
Insta360 ONE R Action Camera
One R action cam by Insta360 is not only beautiful but also packed with a ton of cool features. One of them is modularity. The camera body, the lens and the batteries can be separated and upgraded. How cool is that!
One R comes with different modules like battery module, 360 camera module, 4K 1" sensor module etc. This action camera is one of its kind.
Insta360 One R shoots in 4K wide-angle, supports up to 256gb micro sd card for storage and is waterproof up to 16ft without any casing. The camera can be attached to a drone as well.

One of the biggest cons of One R action camera is its
PowerEgg X Waterproof Drone + Handheld Camera
Powervision, one of the popular drone manufacturers showcased their newly released multipurpose gadget/drone/camera (whatever it is) called PowerEgg X during the CES 2020 event. It was love at first sight, look how cool and compact it looks. PowerEgg X is not only a drone but also a handheld camera. So when you are in a drone restricted area, just take off the wings and put on the strap, as easy as it sounds. Another go-to feature is that the drone is waterproof.
Don't forget to checkout PowerRay, a cool underwater 4k drone
You might be knowing, there are not a lot of drones that are waterproof, not even water-resistant. I personally have a Mavic Pro and every time I fly it during monsoon, my nerves will be shaking.
Power egg X has a maximum range of 3.5 miles which is around 5.6 kilometers. It has a 30 minutes battery backup which is phenomenal
inCharge 6 Review – The Only Charging Cable you need
Rolling Square, a popular swiss based manufacturer has been designing and developing some of the coolest smartphone accessories. Some of their previous products include inCharge mini, inCharge X, Tau, etc. Their products are inexpensive (well under $50), futuristic and very useful.

inCharge 6 is very lightweight, portable, and easy to use. If you have this in your wallet or backpack, there is no need to carry additional
Ampulla MiniS Bluetooth Speakers Review
The Ampulla MiniS Portable Bluetooth Speakers are one of a kind. I can use them on my bicycle thanks to the bike mounts. Additionally, they have armbands so that I can use them when I'm running. They are magnetic, so I can stick them anywhere, even on the fridge or a pole outside. I have a lot of options when it comes to where I can take the Ampulla MiniS.
When it comes to portable Bluetooth speakers, battery backup is a major issue. But the backup of Ampulla is not bad at all, an 8 hr continuous playback is impressive. The best part is that only takes 50 minutes to charge up properly. For the price, you do get a lot out of these bike speakers.
They are the best bicycle speakers hands down, and I get excellent sound quality when I'm riding my bike. Not only do I get to enjoy outdoors, but

MAXOAK Portable 50000mAh Power Bank (185Wh)
I have an MSI laptop and its battery sucks. This may be the case in many other laptops too. As far as I know, almost all the gaming laptops' battery sucks (under 3 hours backup), all most all 2 in 1 laptop battery rocks (more than 8 hours), almost all other laptops have a mediocre battery life of around 6 hours. Carrying chargers is an option but don't you think it is messy and inconvenient? To get rid of such hassles, get yourself a good laptop power bank. It might seem new to you because not a lot of people use a power bank for laptops. Check out this cool battery bank from Maxoak which is made specifically for laptops.
