Stains are an inevitability. Bacteria

2020’s gadget wishlist


MSI AEGIS TI5
Could MSI’s fully-loaded gaming
desktop be the most Tro n-esque
PC ever? We’re not just talking the
illumination, which makes this look
a lot like an angry light cycle, but the
futuristic specs: there’s a 5G modem,
Wi-Fi 6 communication, outrageously-
equipped GPU and an interesting LCD-
equipped gaming dial on the front of
the case that lets you quickly monitor
stats. The cooling’s pretty, er, cool too,
with the processors, video card, voltage
regulator and power supply sectioned
off for optimal chillage.

PURIPOT AIRLAMP L
PuriPot’s double-action tech allows you to clean the air

disguising itself (and, indeed working rather well) as a handy
and not unattractive table lamp. Good riddance, clunky

with a special photocatalyst, can apparently extract 50%

down volatile organic compounds. Perfect for keeping the

unwanted odours, too.

WA L A B O T H O M E
If you’re caring for an elderly person,
how do you know they’re okay? There
are wearable alert devices and buttons,
ZKLFKDUHĆQHDVORQJDVWKH\FDQEH
UHDFKHGåRUDVORQJDVWKHZHDUHULV
conscious. You might install a camera
system, but that’s a massive invasion
of privacy with no alert mechanism.
Walabot HOME is a third way; it scans
a room using radar imaging. If it detects
a fall, it automatically gets in touch with
emergency contacts to let them know.
Nothing to wear, nothing to press, and
nothing to worry about. A great idea.

subscription, walabot.com

WAC O M O N E
There’s a disconnect between pen and screen when it
comes to creating art with a standard graphics tablet, and a
disconnect between wallet and money where Wacom’s pro-
level Cintiq displays are concerned. The One looks to strike
the perfect balance between price and performance, giving
you a scribble-happy 13-inch 1080p display suitable for
Windows, Mac and even certain Android devices at a pretty
attractive price. A matte display, coated in anti-glare material
that positively enhances the drawing experience, means this
is perfect for those who hate that pen-on-glass feel.

MOON ULTRALIGHT
Front-facing cameras are often unkind.
You can be transformed into a washed-
RXWPRQVWHUåEXWLWGRHVQèWKDYHWR
be that way. Some may see this light
DWWDFKPHQWDVDOLWWOHVHOĆHLQGXOJHQW
(sorry) but Moon’s cool accessory,
happy to sit atop any modern
smartphone or laptop, is just the ticket
for front-facing snaps that really
pop. It’s bright, with its brightness
adjustable to suit the conditions, and
you can tweak the colour temperature
of its LED too, all by tapping or touching
the edges of the UltraLight’s back.
