New portable sound system: Lenco PA-81 Portable Trolley Speaker

Price: $599

For your next barbecue or outdoor party, crank up the music with this outdoor speaker. More luggable than portable at 12.3kg, it comes with an aluminium handle and wheels, so it can be easily moved around.

You can connect your device to it using Bluetooth, USB or the auxilary jack, or you can slot in an SD card with your tracks. The speaker plays music from almost every format and also has a microphone jack if you want to use it as a loudspeaker.

Its built-in rechargeable battery is designed to deliver up to 13 hours of playback.
