Several new tech items have caught my eye in recent weeks. I’ve come across gadgets that can take my entertainment and streaming to the next level and tech that can increase my work-from-home productivity without a huge investment.
If you’ve been on the prowl for ways to spruce up your tech collection or make your smart home smarter, the gadgets listed below may help you out. A few of them could make your work-from-home life easier or lure the kids away from their tablets for a while.

I do quite a bit of work remotely, or in more normal times while traveling. Relying on just my small laptop screen to get work done can be tough though, which is why I like the Duex Pro portable monitor, which doubles my workspace on my laptop with the plug of a cord.
The Duex Pro is a slim monitor that connects to your laptop via a USB cable. It’s portable, easy to carry, and attaches to the back of your computer monitor with magnetic adhesives, allowing you to slide it out and use it as needed.

Cell phones have nearly become an extension of our bodies. I take mine everywhere, and I’d venture to guess you do, too. But while most smartphones are lightweight and easy to carry, they can be a pain in the wrist.
I recently came across the Lookstand, a portable cell phone holder that works with both Android and iPhone that allows you to go hands-free while using your phone.
