PRO TIP NOW APP THISIf you’re working out
and about, you don’t
want to be a slave to
a plug socket, but the
Microsoft charger is a
chunky old brick – and
only a few aftermarket
power-banks offer
enough of a kick to
charge the Surface
Book 2. This
40,000mAh job
is one of them. It’ll
be slower than using
the standard charger
but it’ll mean you can
use that table by the
window that’s miles
away from a socket.

You’ve nabbed your
favourite spot, your
laptop’s fully charged
and your flat white’s
hot... but who’s this at
the table behind you?
It’s Darren the senior
account executive
and he’s got a VERY
IMPORTANT call with
the Lisbon office.
No problem: these
Bluetooth headphones
will drown him out with
clever noise-cancelling
that adjusts to your
surroundings. They
also sound superb,
which helps.
£260 / sony.co.ukSure, you could carry all
your stuff around in a
‘bag for life’ (got to get
the full value out of
that 5p somehow),
but does that plastic
wonder come with its
own built-in Bluetooth
tracker, an integrated
padlock, hidden
pockets (including one
for your sunnies), an
integrated USB port
so you can plug in your
power-pack, and a
separate compartment
for quarantining your
sweaty gym gear?

castendesign.comWorking anywhere
that’s full of people you
don’t know will always
carry risks for your
prized possessions,
but you can always
take precautions. The
Pro is Tile’s toughest
and loudest Bluetooth
tracker yet, with a
range of 300 feet. That
means that if whatever
you’ve attached it to
goes missing, you can
find it via the app and
trigger a very audible
SOS. And unlike
previous Tiles, it has
a battery that can be
replaced when it dies.
