Asus offers the smartest new laptop screens around at CES
Between the ZenScreen Fold portable display and the ZenBook DUO dual-screen laptop, Asus is exploring new possibilities in screen design.
I've been a fan of Twelve South accessories since I first saw their BookBook for the original iPad. Well their first ever product was the BookArc, a lovely way to store a MacBook upright when plugged into a desktop setup.
They've now launched the BookArc Flex, a gorgeous update that makes it easier to use as well. The first version needed you to swap inserts to suit different MacBooks (Air vs Pro), but the new version 'flexes' to suit the size needed. Looks great and it'll hit stores in the next few months.
Let's start taking even more drones for granted, shall we? DJI just announced the new DJI FlyCart 30, making industrial delivery drone transport feel very ordinary. Targeting scenarios where cargo can be tricky – mountains, offshore, emergency rescue – these long range, high reliability, and large payload capacity drones seem very next generation. Give it a week and we'll think they're old news. Browse the official site to get wowed by how they operate.
For me, transparent flatscreens have been the final 'we live in the future' dream I've been waiting for. It's probably about turning our windows into displays so we can have useful information available on every glass surface. So does a TV count? Let's say yes, because the LG Signature OLED T revealed at CES looks lovely.
77-inches, well designed frame, and wireless transmission of AV so it can just sit mid room and look amazing (just get clever with your powerpoints). Next stop: stick on panels for our windows. Let's do it in 2025, LG!

Google Pixel 7 & Pixel 7 Pro review: because you love Google's brains
The same price in an inflationary market and some solid updates in camera and features makes it a good year to upgrade if you've been waiting for a few years.
Laptop stands have become a staple in the home office era. You need to get that screen and camera up to eye level and make space for a proper keyboard and mouse. This Bonelk setup comes with 'gamer' RGB lights – we've debated those here plenty. They look bright in the pictures but in real life the USB powered lights are kinda subtle. But when it's dark, RGB can be overpowering if its too bright. So this gives a soft glow that works nicely.
