Withings Sleep Analyzer. This matt sits under your mattress and monitors your sleep to detect the quality of sleep, heart-rate, even signs of sleep apnoea and more. An ideal way to monitor your health or as a gift so others can. Scoring 4.5 out of 5, more in show.
Elgato Video Capture. This handy little gadget sits between your DVD, VCR, camcorder, or other analogue device and your computer or tablet's USB socket and allows you to easily transfer all those precious old memories to digital format for safe keeping. An ideal way to ensure you don't lose them, or share them with others online. Scoring 4 out of 5, more details in show.
Kioxia Portable SSD. This external SSD may be tiny but it packs in a lot of storage space, from .5tb up to 2tb, and connects via fast USB, allowing you to easily increase the capacity of your computer or tablet. Another ideal way to ensure you've backed up all those important files, or just give yourself more room to install apps. Scoring 4 out of 5, listen in for more.
