Which is your favourite tech tool?

Philips Daily Touch Garment Steamer
“Forget iPhones and iWatches – the one thing that makes my life easier these days is my clothes steamer! Although not technically a gadget, I love the fact it makes it possible for me to enjoy what I love doing most – dressing up hassle-free. I admit, I’m in love with my steamer!”

Kindle Paperwhite
“I do love the feel and smell of a hard copy book but on days when I’m not too sure what I want to read, carrying a Kindle saves me the hassle because I can just pick from the list of books I have stored. Sure it’s not as enjoyable reading from a screen but if it shaves off the weight on my shoulder, then Kindle is a saviour.”

Clarisonic MIA 2
“Recently I jumped on the bandwagon and purchased a Clarisonic MIA 2. Now I feel my face isn’t clean enough whenever I cleanse it with my bare hands. My skin has slightly cleared up in the short month that I’ve used my Clarisonic once a day. Love!”

Apple Macbook Air
“My 13″ Macbook Air is probably the best investment I’ve made on a laptop. My first laptop for polytechnic was a white Macbook, then I had an iPod, then the iPhone 4 for five years, and now the iPhone 6. Everything is seamlessly upgraded and backed up which is a god-send for tech-idiots like me. In fact my poly computer only just died on me this year at a ripe old age of 8 years. I got my Macbook Air about 3 years ago and I love its long battery life, sleek exterior and glow-in-the-dark keyboard. Yes, I am one of THOSE Apple fans. Once you go Mac, you never go back.”

Samsung Galaxy Note 4
“My favourite gadget would be my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 smartphone. I love having a device that can make phone calls, take pictures, download music, stream movies, surf the internet and pretty much do everything. Having a Note 4 is like having a portable PC in your pocket and I can’t go anywhere without my smartphone.”

Creative Airwave Portable Wireless Speaker
“I love my portable wireless speaker. It works with audio from any device via Bluetooth and provides a good sound quality with about an 8-hour battery life! Then, I can enjoy my music almost everywhere outdoors, for my barbecue parties or at home. I also use it for my Skype conversations with family!”
Adeline – Senior Business Development Manager 
Microsoft Surface Pro
“I have to go from meetings to meetings, and I needed a laptop that is lightweight and be able to do good presentations. Thus my favourite and trusty gadget has to be Microsoft Surface Pro. It is light and thin and fits into my oversized duffel bag perfectly. It is detachable (and it becomes a tablet) for mini presentations. The touch screen functions make it easy for my client to interact with our platforms during presentation. The high quality screen makes everything looks nicer on it (especially our platforms). Last but not least, I love that I was able to choose my favourite colour, purple keyboard pad. It is stylish and professional yet very pretty.”
