New products of the week (Nov 26)

APPLE IPAD ACCESSORY

Logitech AnyAngle $79

Logitech's AnyAngle does double duty as both a protective case and stand for the Apple iPad Air 2 and all models of the iPad mini.

The case's durable, water-repellent materials protect the iPad while keeping it slim. A built-in stand with a hidden hinge will hold your iPad firmly in place at any angle up to 50 degrees.

Choose from a variety of bold and subtle colours.

APPLE IPHONE CASE

Ozaki O!Coat Hel-ooo $39.90

Ozaki's O!Coat case protects both the front and back of your phone, but still allows you to check the time easily.

The O!Coat's leatherette front cover features a window positioned precisely where Apple iPhones usually display their clocks.

There are also cut-outs on the lower part of the cover, allowing you to answer or reject calls and dismiss alarms without opening the cover and smudging your screen.

DOCKING STATION

J5 Create Universal USB JUD530 $199

Laptops, with their limited number of ports, often lack the breadth of connectivity options that desktop PCs offer.

J5 Create's docking station helps to alleviate this, by giving laptop users more ports, including three USB 3.0 ports, as well as HDMI, VGA, Ethernet, and audio input and output ports.

The JUD530 - available in silver and gold colours - would not look out of place in a modern office environment, with its stylish design and metallic finish.

CAMERA

Sony a6000 White Edition $1,099, with kit lens

Here is something for the shutterbug who wants to stand out from the crowd - a white edition of Sony's a6000 mirrorless camera.

According to Sony, the a6000 has the fastest autofocus performance among interchangeable lens cameras. Using Sony's 4D Focus predictive technology, it can capture subjects in just 0.06 seconds.

LIGHTING

MiPow Playbulb Color $129

Change the colour of your lighting at any time with MiPow's Playbulb Color.

The Playbulb Color features a variety of pulsing, flashing and fading modes, which could be just what you need to jazz up your house for the festive period.

You can control the Playbulb Color through your phone with the Playbulb X app. You can even play music through it, as the LED bulb doubles as a wireless speaker.

LAPTOP

HP Omen $3,399

Gaming laptops are often bulky machines. The HP Omen bucks the trend.

Weighing 2.3kg and measuring 2cm in thickness, it will make gaming on the road a less backbreaking exercise.

Yet, it does not compromise on performance. A quad-core Intel Core i7 and Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M graphics card should handle just about any game you can throw at it.
