We’re halfway into the new year but there’s one thing that’s unlikely to change anytime soon. If you’re a WFH warrior who’s likely to spend more time matching those formal jackets with shorts or track bottoms, make sure you have the right kit. Gadgets that let you flit from work to play mode in a flash.
TABS ARE BACK WITH A VENGEANCE
The first reverse tech trend of this decade was the surprising resurgence of the tablet. Tabs are back in favour, allowing you to switch from Microsoft Excel to Netflix or MS Teams effortlessly. The formidable iPad Pro is the top-of-the-line iPad for the Apple fanboy who’s not shy to splurge.
SNAP THOSE WIRES
Earbuds or over-the-ear headphones? That’s one of the toughest decisions to make in 2021, when we’ve resolved to let go of our favourite wired headphones. Whether you’re wowing the board online with your PowerPoint wizardry or on marathon calls with demanding customers, you need a dependable set of Bluetooth headphones. If you’re likely to spend more than 5 hours a day on calls or online meetings, it’s worth considering over-the-ear headphones with comfortable cushioning and stellar audio.
