ASUS ZENBOOK 17 FOLD
In terms of futuristic devices for 2022, the
Asus Zenbook 17 Fold is going to be hard
to beat. This foldable device is all OLED
screen, so you can use it as a massive
17.3-inch tablet, bend it and bring up a
virtual keyboard on the lower half or even
attach an external keyboard to use it like a
traditional laptop. That’s a hell of a flex.

ALVA TT V2
Making other record players look rather
drab and basic by comparison, the
Cambridge Audio Alva TT V2 exudes
quality even before you’ve put needle
to vinyl. As well as everything you’d
expect, the turntable gives you aptX HD
Bluetooth connectivity, a built-in phono
stage (plus the option to use your own),
and an improved tonearm.

ASUS ROG FLOW Z13
The 13.4-inch ROG Flow Z13 from
Asus is a 2-in-1 tablet/laptop hybrid that
offers better gaming performance than
a lot of laptops – even the best and most
demanding games are going to look fast and
fluid on this device, with a 12th-gen Core i9
and an RTX 3050 Ti GPU under the hood,
as well as a maximum of 16GB of RAM.

NOVETO N1 INVISIBLE
HEADPHONES
How do a pair of invisible headphones
work, you might ask? The Noveto N1 sits
in front of you like a miniature soundbar,
using what’s known as beamforming
technology to create a binaural audio
experience not unlike wearing a pair of
headphones, but without the physical
earbuds. We’re very much looking forward
to giving them a try.
$800 (about £590), noveto.comSAMSUNG FREESTYLE
‘Portable’ projectors are often anything but,
so we’re intrigued by what the Samsung
Freestyle has to offer. This pint-sized device
is capable of producing full HD pictures and
videos at projected sizes up to 100 inches,
and there’s also the option of powering it
with a battery, so you can take it just about
anywhere you like.
£999, samsung.comSAMSUNG ODYSSEY ARK
Not many monitors are going to get your games,
movies and spreadsheets up in front of you as
clearly and as impressively as the newly unveiled
Samsung Odyssey Ark: this giant 55-inch, 16:9
aspect ratio curved screen really has to be seen to
be believed, and it can be used vertically as well
as horizontally for the ultimate display experience.
