Jabra Evolve 2 75 Headphones

One major lesson we learnt in 2021 is that we now work from anywhere, no longer keeping 9-5 office hours (what office?), so you are as likely to attend a meeting while at the supermarket as at home. With this in mind, there's been a number of enterprise-orientated wireless headsets, such as Jabra's new Evolve2 75, which are engineered to make flexible work communications simple. The Bluetooth 5.2 Evolve2 75 has been created to be worn comfortably for long periods, with dual cushioned ear pads and adjustable Active Noise Canceling for excellent sound quality, while an 8-microphone system and three digital chipsets ensures that the boom mic distinguishes your voice from a noisy background, so you will always sound crystal clear.

For: Remote warriors who attend e-meetings from anywhere

LG gram 16

There are dozens of laptops launched each year, and with most of us remote working, weight and battery life have become more important, which is probably why LG's gram 16 has become popular, as it is a 1.2kg ultraportable laptop with a large 16-inch screen, but with similar dimensions to a traditional 15-inch notebook, plus comes with a 80Wh battery for up to 20 hours of performance. The 2021 gram 16 is available with an 11th Gen Intel Core i5 or i7 processor, Iris Xe graphics, 8 or 16GB memory and dual SSD slots, plus fast Thunderbolt 4 connectivity. For touchscreen fans, there's a 2-in-1 version that comes with a 360-degree hinge.

For: People who want a unique ultraportable with a large screen and battery life From
