Reduce load-shedding stress with this simple gadget: a powerbank with a variety of cables to power both your internet point and WiFi router, so your broadband keeps going when the power goes down. R1 000

2. SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD V2

This is the ultimate flash drive, because it’s small, light and nearly indestructible, with 500 GB of data storage using a real NVME SSD drive, but with USB-C connectivity, so transfer speeds both to and from the drive are blazingly fast, around 1 GB/sec. R3 000

3. Xiaomi AW200

This security camera cannot be swivelled around remotely like some cams, but its wide field of view, excellent low-light performance and solid IP65 weatherproofing make it a strong addition to your outdoor, or indoor, homesecurity setup. R800 

4. EcoFlow River Pro

The simplest solution we have found to defeat load shedding is this handy 720 Wh battery, which offers hours of uptime for traditional three-prong AC plugs, DC, USB and more. During office hours, plug in multiple laptops, PCs, monitors and the WiFi router. In the evenings, swap for the TV, fridge and lights. R14 000

For working from home, this simple, affordable gadget solves the problem of losing your laptop’s USB-C port to plug in a monitor. It converts to HDMI for your monitor, but also provides an extra, full-sized USB-A port and another USB-C port. R270
