I can't work without these 3 gadgets (and why they make such a big difference)

As stated earlier, I’ve been working from home for the past five years, and I review a lot of tech products, including but not limited to laptops, monitors, smartphones, and PC accessories. One thing I’ve learned in that time is that I’m picky. Even if I like a device, that doesn’t necessarily mean that I will buy one for myself and use it on a regular basis. I have pretty strong opinions on what makes a product worth purchasing. For example, I’ve tried several keyboards before ultimately sticking with the HyperX Alloy Origins.

I am a cheap person. I don’t like spending money on random things, especially now when there is a lot of economic uncertainty. So, before I buy something, I always make sure to do my homework. I do my research, check multiple shopping platforms, and consult with other ZDNET experts who know way more than I do.

For the main list, I have either tested each product personally or used it for years. I can say with total confidence that these are some of the best tech products I have ever used, and I fully endorse them. Below, I have included a couple of alternative devices. I haven’t used them myself, but they come highly recommended from my fellow colleagues here at ZDNET.
