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
Jamstik+
The Jamstik teaches you to play guitar, and any song note by note, with a 16-inch-long guitar and 3 apps. GarageBand pairing lets you record your creations. One step closer to rock-star status. $300

iPhone owners want more storage and a better battery. The Space Pack improves both. It adds 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB of added space. Plus it roughly doubles your battery life. From $150
Apple iPad Pro
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. There’s enough room to edit 4K video and to work in AutoCAD, and with full support for the company’s Pencil stylus, Apple wants professionals to use this for their great creations on the go.
