BUDGET BUYS TOP TENS

NEW

Raspberry Pi Zero W
from £9.30 / stuff.tv/PiZeroW

It might be nearly twice the price of
the original Pi Zero, but when you’re
still getting change from a tenner
the wireless Pi is fantastic value.
Simplicity is key, with no need to
mess about with dongles or hubs.
This also means your Pi projects can
be squeezed into smaller places.

UE Wonderboom 2

£90 / stuff.tv/Wonderboom2

This tiny speaker is a mighty delight.

It’s ideal for the park, or even if

you’re looking to use one (or two)

to supercharge your bedroom

setup. Audio quality is ramped up

from its predecessor, giving you

better bass and more detail, but not

at the expense of dinky portability.

Moov Now

+++++ £55 / stuff.tv/MoovNow

The best budget tracker you can buy – gives

most Fitbits a run for their money.

Google Home Mini

++++, £24 / stuff.tv/HomeMini

The friendliest and most knowledgeable

miniature smart speaker around.

SoundMagic E10

+++++ £30 / stuff.tv/E10

We love the E11s, but the previous model is still

available for real bargain-sniffers.

Ryze Tello

++++, £85 / stuff.tv/Tello

Rule the skies without breaking the bank with

this affordable toy drone.

Moto G7 Play

+++++ £130 / stuff.tv/G7Play

Motorola’s still got it – here’s another cracker

we’d happily pay twice as much for.

Ikea Tradfri Dimming Kit

++++, from £15 / stuff.tv/IkeaSmartLights

Philips Hue might have colour-changing bulbs,

but Ikea’s Tradfri smart lights are crazy cheap.

Vodafone Smart X9

++++, £99 / stuff.tv/SmartX9

Network-branded phones may not be cool, but

this one’s a legit bargain.

SNES Classic Mini

£70 / stuff.tv/ClassicMini

Why bother splashing out over £200 on a

games console when you can get the SNES

Classic Mini for a fraction of that? Especially

when you get 21 classic titles pre-installed on

this nostalgia-inducing machine, including the

likes of Super Metroid, A Link to the Past, Super

Mario World and the never-before-released

Star Fox 2. And with two controllers bundled in

the box, you’ll be able to start the Super Mario

Ka rt action right away.

for each of the SNES

games online.
