For teleworking: Getting well equipped at a lower cost
2020 and 2021 have confirmed teleworking in the daily life of a large part of the population and 2022 risks accentuating this habit.
Netgear Orbi WiFi 6 terminals: The essential router for good teleworking
Discreet and with a clean design, the Orbi router and satellites will not swear in the background.
Netgear
Living without wifi has become synonymous with going back to the Stone Age.
However, in a large house the box of the Internet provider is not sufficient, worse the bandwidth is parasitized by the exchange of connection information between the router and the devices.
The Orbi RBK752 system offers a Triband link which allows up to 40 devices to be connected in an area of 350m².
Neatgear even offers an on-site installation offer (via the company Mila) to optimize the positioning and configuration of the router and its satellites.
Already a classic.

Logitech MX Key Mini The keyboard with very good value for money
Lightweight, compact and long lasting.
A pleasant keyboard at home and on the go.
Logitech
Laptop keyboard getting tired?
Does the E key no longer work?
Or is it quite simply noisy or do you mainly look at the second screen and therefore prefer to have the keyboard in front of it?
So much reason to switch to an external keyboard, and the new version from Logitech, the leading Swiss specialist in the market, is a real knife from the same country.
You can even connect it to several terminals at the same time.
Its automatic backlighting makes it perfect for use in subdued light.
The only flaw is that the multi-terminal keys (Mac, PC, Android) can sometimes be confusing.

Roborock H7: The alternative vacuum cleaner to the Dyson
Very light, the H7 is one of the lightest weights in the field. Roborock
Cordless stick vacuum cleaners have conquered homes in recent years. It's very simple, each manufacturer now offers a variant. If the reference brand remains Dyson, many manufacturers offer a more economical alternative and not necessarily at the expense of performance. Thus the Roborock H7 uses a Li-po type battery, which is lighter, more enduring and faster to charge than the Li-ion battery from the English manufacturer. The suction is almost identical (slight advantage to Dyson) and the accessories offer identical support in terms of surfaces. Lighter, it is less tiring to use on cleaning sessions of more than 20 minutes. Only downside, it has the neck a little shorter than the Dyson v11 which could be a disadvantage for users of large sizes.

The ultra sober design hides quality material.
JVC
The latest from the Japanese brand corrects the only flaw of its predecessor, the HA-S91N, which had insufficient noise reduction.
Like its main competitors, the JVC headset offers tactile control on the outer sides of the headset, as well as support for a voice assistant and auto connect / disconnect when you remove the headset from your ears.
Its pads are very pleasant to the touch and the helmet is so light that you forget that you are wearing a helmet.
