So the vacations are on and many of you must be planning to go on a trip. Here is the list of what you will be needing the most other than your visas and tickets..!!
Battery packs
Almost all smart phones and tablets are battery guzzlers,
but what if you’re out and about and nowhere near a power socket? Battery packs to the rescue! Whenever you
need the extra juice, simply connect these portable packs to your devices via
USB to charge.
1.The CoolerMaster PowerFort: Rs. 4999
Is one of the best backup battery packs we’ve
seen. It uses a lithium-polymer battery that allows for the simultaneous
charging of up to two devices.the device has LED status indicators to display
power levels and comes with an Apple devices charger attachment, as well as a
Galaxy Tab/Note charger tip.
2. Nokia Universal Portable USB Charger DC-16: Rs. 1499
If
you need only 5v-1A charger, then you will be well served by this. It comes
with LED indicators and is sufficient to charge most small smartphones,
including the iPhone and Blackberry devices.
Bluetooth Headsets
If you’re always up and about, a Bluetooth headset that lets
you receive and make calls without having to juggle with your smartphone can
prove to be a boon.
1.Plantronics Voyager Legend: Rs. 5690
Its over the ear loop keeps it firmly in place , also the
call quality is ultra clear. this device has a battery backup of upto 7 hours and even announces callers name. it
also lets you handle calls with two commands: “answer” and “ignore”. Another
feature is that its water proof so you can even enjoys monsoons without a
worry.
2.Nokia BH-505: Rs. 3300
If you’re looking for stereo headset , I would recommend
this as it has splash-resistant, in-ear speakers, and 10-12 hours of battery
backup.
Bluetooth Speakers
Not only these devices will augment the sound you get from
your smartphones, but the models that I suggest also come with a built-in mic
to let you answer phone calls whenever they are connected to your handset.
1.JBL Flip: Rs. 5990
It has clear crisp sound to fill a small to medium sized
room and almost 6 hours of battery.
2.Logitech UE Mobile Boombox: Rs. 8995
Provides upto 8 hours of battery backup wih single charge,
but its smaller size, nice metal finish makes it more ‘cute’ option.
Portable Storage
Your data is of ultimate importance and to store it
securely, you need a solution that is reliable, rugged and with some form of
password protection.
Hard Disk Drives
1.Adata DashDrive Durable: Rs. 5500 for 1TB
It is a USB 3.0 drive that incorporates military-grade
shockproof and waterproof construction. Besides, it comes with the free HDDtoGO
software that allows for data synchronization b/w your drive and PC.
2.Western Digital My Passport: Rs. 5999 for 1TB
This one promises password protected acess to your data through
its WD Drive unlock software and auto backup through WD SmartWare that
instantly backs up your files as soon as they are added or changed.
Pendrives
1.Corsair Survivor Stealth: Rs. 1950-Rs. 5800 for 16GB to 64GB
It is one of the few pendrives that come with USB 3.0 port
and is waterproof. Its so damage resistant that it can even survive under your
car’s wheels!!
2.Kingston Data Traveller 6000: Rs. 9999 for 16GB
It has AES hardware encryption and locks down itself after
10 attempts of password breakage. But it is much slower in speed of 11 to 19
Mb/s.
This is all I have got for now. Any queries and suggestions are always welcome. Till then happy computing and enjoy your vacations.!!
