RIDEABLE ROBOT

The Loomo can be ridden like a

Segway, but it’ll also talk to you, follow

you and carry your shopping. If you

think of a new skill that Loomo doesn’t

have yet, do it yourself using the

Android software development kit.

FRESH FEET

Panasonic’s new shoe deodoriser

generates hydroxyl radicals to destroy

the malodorous microparticles that

make your footwear fetid. But set some

time aside – stubborn odours take up

to seven hours to remove.

MAGIC BULLET

This battery-powered water gun is

aimed at adults. It sprays liquid

‘bullets’, each measuring precisely

30ml. You can hit targets up to 12m

away, get constant pressure on all your

shots, and auto-refill your tank in just

14 seconds.

SERIOUSLY SAFE

Keep your secrets safe with a PIN-

authenticated hard drive. The

diskAshur Pro2 uses military-grade

hardware encryption, protects against

brute-force attacks, has an auto-lock

feature, and will self-destruct after 15

failed PIN guesses.

POWER UP

Charge your iPhone X, 8 or 8+ wirelessly

while you’re still using it. Rest your phone

on the POWERED stand (portrait or

landscape) and it’ll charge while you’re

sending messages, watching films or

FaceTiming.

THIN TECH

At just 1.6kg, Lenovo’s new business

laptop is thinner than the MacBook Air

and nearly as light, but boasts seriously

impressive specs. Made for work travel,

the ThinkPad P1 will slip easily into your

carry-on bag.
