carry-on offers a vari-

ety of interior mod-

ules to accommodate

Microsoft

Surface Pro 4

BEST FOR

The multitasker

The lightweight Sur-

face Pro 4 can fill in

as both a tablet and a

laptop. With a sharp,

low-glare screen, it’s

great for working in

bright coffeehouses

or on trains. We also

love the nine-hour

battery and Windows

Hello’s facial recogni-

tion for secure, instan-

taneous log-ins. From

$899, microsoft.com

Relax, frequent fliers.
One charge will keep the
Gorilla Glass screen
working for 800 transfers.

Go Hollywood

with the Osmo

Mobile gimbal

stabilizer.

Apple iPhone 7 Plus

BEST FOR

The creative road warrior

Apple’s latest offers incre mental

improvements to the low-light

fidelity of its photos, but the

“portrait” mode is a real

advance. The feature sits in the

standard camera menu and

leverages the iPhone’s two cam-

eras to create the blurred back-

ground the pros often use for

portraits and still lifes. This

so-called “bokeh effect” helps

the foreground stand out. Just

swipe to select, follow the

on-screen prompts, and cancel

the wedding photographer.

Tune Out Travel Stress

Rimowa

Electronic Tag

BEST FOR

The million-mile man

Now that paper ticket-

ing is a dinosaur, we’re

going with this smart

alternative, which dis-

plays your luggage

tags on a mini screen.

Just sync via Blue-

tooth in your carrier’s

app (just Lufthansa

is participating now,

with more due to join

in soon) and drop your

bag at the counter.

THE BEST APPS

Men’s Health staffers

picked their favorites

for business travel.

HOTELTONIGHT

For that moment when

you realize they booked

you in a depressing

dive on the wrong side

of town. It’ll find you

new digs at a price that

won’t set off the bean

counters’ alarms.

SEATGEEK

For that empty night.

Find cheap, last-minute

tickets to concerts and

games—with extremely

detailed seating maps.

BEERMENUS

For targeted thirst

quenching. Punch in

the name of the local

brew you want to try—

or your hometown fave

when homesick—and

the app will point you to

the nearest tap.
