This month, three new models are joining the Philips Monitors' E1 series. Equipped with all the essentials that professionals and remote workers need, these new models will help users stay connected while improving their productivity, all at a competitive price. The Philips 24E1N1100A and 27E1N1100A are both equipped with a 23.8" (60.5 cm) and a 27" (68.6 cm) respectively FHD IPS panels with a frameless design, narrow borders for multi-monitor setups, and a cable management system for a clean and organized workspace.

The overall picture quality is mesmerising: the IPS panel delivers vivid colours, while the 100 Hz refresh rate with 1 ms MPRT and Adaptive-Sync offer a responsive experience with sharp and precise visuals to enhance every moment, including light gaming sessions using the monitor's SmartImage Game Modes. In addition, both models come with a pair of built-in high-quality 2 W stereo speakers to ensure a complete multimedia experience.

The Sabrent 7-Port Hub with Switches (HB-3A4C) is just like our popular and convenient 4-port switchable hubs but with even more ports. This one has three 5 Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 1x1) USB-A ports, capable of delivering 5 V/500 mA of power for basic accessories. The four 5 Gbps USB-C ports provide even more power: three at 5 V/900 mA, and one at a whooping 20 W. This hub can handle device charging and host multiple accessories at the same time. We've included a power adapter to make this a powered hub with up to 48 W of total input power to keep things reliably connected.

Each of these seven ports has its own switch to independently enable/disable the attached device, accessory, or peripheral. Per-switch/per-port status is clearly indicated with white LEDs. This gives you direct, clear control over multiple devices with the push of a button. This is handy for managing gamepads, headsets, wireless receivers, keyboards, mice, and much more. Mount the hub where you need it and never worry: the aluminium alloy construction is tough and provides enhanced heat dissipation for sustained operation under any conditions. It's the perfect companion to any laptop, desktop, or portable device.

Content creators often find themselves not just needing a static positioned camera to show their faces, but something to show on a bench or a table from an overhead viewpoint, and which can be easily repositioned. Perhaps the best example would be game streamers wanting a viewport showing their user inputs in real time; or an engineering content creator wanting to show something on their bench from top. For these applications and more, Logitech launched the new Logitech Reach, a 2-in-1 Full HD webcam and overhead camera. The star attraction here isn't the camera itself, but its armature, which has been meticulously engineered by Logitech to provide a near-spherical freedom of movement for the camera. Reposition it in real time, and it will hold its position—no need to turn any fasteners to hold it in place, but a simple locking mechanism.

The armature of the Logitech Reach allows full 360° freedom of motion for the camera along a radius. The second axis of movement is vertical, letting you raise of lower the distance between the camera and the object, so you could optically zoom. Besides horizontal and vertical movements, the camera itself is suspended along an pivot, for an added dimension. Moving the camera around is single handed, and practically effortless. The Reach allows content creators to easily and quickly change viewpoints, from themselves, to an object that they're trying to show their audience. The camera additionally features an up to 4.3x lossless zoom, autofocus, and intrinsic image stabilization from the armature.

We always had more Middle-earth keyboards in us. We just had to get back on the horse. For our latest release, we mean that in more ways (and more boards) than one. Meet the Drop + The Lord of the Rings Rohan Keyboard: a heroic typing staple sent from our stables in two styles, each inspired by the kingdom of horsemasters. Choose from the brown Edoras or the green Aldburg, named after the Riddermark's two biggest cities—and adorned with pad-printed artwork from OSHETART depicting a Rohan-inspired seal your entire desk can rally around.

MUSTER THE ROHIRRIM—IN 2 COLORWAYS
And like the great gathering of the Rohirrim before the Battle of the Pelennor Fields—these keyboards are sporting something of an army themselves. That army comes in the form of a newly created DCD-profile keycap set (in matching green or brown) featuring a host of Rohan-inspired novelties designed by OSHETART—including galloping horses, a cavalry helmet, the beacons of Minas Tirith, and iconography from Anglo Saxon culture: an inspiration for Rohan. Throw in tactile Holy Panda X Switches paired with our nearly silent Phantom Stabilizers, and you're ready to type—type now, for ruin, and the world's ending.
