[Open Discussion] What’s the best bit of tech you’ve bought recently?

I've been using my Netgear Nighthawk M1 mobile router for a few months and can't fault it. 

• Mobile broadband at home and while out and about. 
• Internet access without a landline. 
• Runs my laptop, tablet and other wifi gear. 
• Fast Gigabit download speed. 
• Stable. 
• Easy to set up and use. 

I use it with a Smarty data only SIM. 

There are cheaper Mifi routers but I don't mind paying for quality kit. Money well spent. 

It's very low tech but we purchased a Rapid Cool bottle which cools the babies bottle down from boiling to drinkable in about 2mins. Would highly recommend one to all new parents. 

Thanks for the info! I’ve been thinking of getting some that won’t break the bank. 

I have bought similar very cheap they are clip on on the outside ear really good unfortunately they are 5.1 notcomoatible with some bluetooth devices so i purchased some very small corded ones 4.1 

expensive not always thebest 

Sadly I can’t add photos!

I bought a ZTE801A 5G modem, it was great. 

Then Smarty forced a firmware upgrade on behalf of Three, now it can’t hold onto 5G on any other network.

Got these couple of weeks back, when they were £17.99, sound awesome and the bluetooth (BT5.1 AAC) works well on iPhone, can't believe they're so cheap really.

Hi I have recently gone kinda the other way - I have some way cheap h/phones, but recently bought a pair of Sony WH-1000XM4 Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones - 30 hours battery life - Over Ear style, so not too bad passive NC if the battery does run out. The Active Noise Cancelling is very effective at say getting rid of most road noise - You know on motorways mainly it makes a big difference. I can actually practice some Meditation - as well as listening to music etc. Not used them much for calls, but when I have the quality was great! 

My Smarty Sim whiche allows data connectivity from anywhere , especially from my car as I have digital radio enabled and connect my laptop from work on the go should I need to. It also is a useful backup should my home network be unavailable for any reason. My other is my Meta Quest 2 headset which is so good for so many things including exercise apps and of course untethered gaming as it connects to my desktop via a streaming app 

My best "buy" (it was a requested Christmas present) was a toolset - see below. 
OK, so not exactly tech, but I've been volunteering to refurbish and set up some old laptops and desktops for people recently and getting by with just two or three tools and often having to adapt. Now, I shoud, hopefully, have a tool for even the smallest and most unusual screws!

I recently picked up some new speakers for my PC. I've always been passionate for sound, sadly last year my old KEF coda 7 bookshelf speakers finally gave out. I looked around for a bit and found a reasonably cheap alternative to sticking to the amplified option I grew used to.

Picked up a set of Edifier r1280T's. It's a more obscure brand, not exactly high street - but given the amazing price, the great IO and the constant good reviews I decided to give it a go. They are just about perfect for my PC setup so I'm very pleased so far!
