Aerelight A1
Fluorescent desk lamps are harsh on the eyes. This one uses organic light emitting diodes (OLED) to provide a warm glow. The lamp can be turned on and off with a tap anywhere on its body and offers three brightness levels. Qi inductive charging built into the base lets you easily charge some phones. $300
Rif6 Cube Mobile Projector
Cube isn’t much bigger than a smartphone. But the pocket projector produces a big picture. Its battery recharges over micro-USB, meaning one fewer cable to trip over during movie time. $300

Apple called on the king of all planets, Jupiter, when announcing its latest tablet. And rightfully so. At 12.9 inches, the iPad Pro is the biggest iPad yet.
