WFH is now a part of our lives, but being cooped up inside has been difficult. And, with the COVID-19 virus showing no signs of slowing down, we're likely to be stranded at home for a few more weeks (if not months).
We have all grown to appreciate something even more than before now that we are all indoors: gadgets. Having the right tool on hand boosts efficiency by saving time and makes staying indoors more bearable. So, if you're in a lockout situation, here are ten devices you can get right away.
During the lockout, here are Top 10 must-have gadgets for work and play.
1. Mi Robot VacuumCleaning and mopping is tedious, so why not delegate it to a robot? The Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P is a useful home assistance tool that can sweep and mop simultaneously. You can leave instructions for the robotic vacuum cleaner through the app, and it will clean without your intervention. It features 12 high-precision sensors as well as a laser-based navigation system. The vacuum cleaner will return to its dock after cleaning to recharge until the next session. 24,999 Rupees.
2. 14-inch Asus Zenbook Duo
What could be better than a laptop with a high-resolution, bezel-free display? Of necessity, a laptop with two high-resolution bezel-less displays. The Asus Zenbook Duo 14 has a 14-inch full-HD LED display on the front and a 12.65-inch ScreenPad display on the back, all of which are touch-enabled. This second show is a godsend for multitaskers, including a slew of navigation shortcuts and gestures. You can also use it to clip your work windows for quick access. You also get all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a modern powerhouse with the laptop. Starting at Rs 99,990.
3. Smart Monitor from Samsung
The new Samsung smart monitors are more than meets the eye. The M5 has a 27-inch Full HD monitor, while the M7 has a 32-inch UHD display, making them ideal for working from home. When you're finished with work, though, these monitors reveal their lighter side. Both have a built-in SmartHub that allows you to watch Netflix and other OTT content, and the 10W speaker system adds to the experience. Starting at Rs 28,000.
4. Next-Generation Finero Coffee Machine
If you're anything like me, you miss the hiss of a coffee machine and the scent of a freshly poured cup of joe. Bring home the Coffeeza Finero Next, a coffee machine.

Despite its size, it can make an indulgent cup of black coffee with the same pressure as some of its larger brethren. 13,949 Rupees.
5. WH-1000XM4 (Sony)

Gyms could be closed shortly, but you can easily keep in shape at home. If you're missing your gym trainer, the OnePlus Watch is a good replacement.

This comes in a classic round design with a lightweight body that makes it comfortable to wear all day. 14,999 rupees.
8. The Amazon Echo Dot is a smart speaker that works with Alexa (4th Gen)

Alexa is capable of answering the majority of your questions and controlling other smart devices in your house. In turn, the Dot retains many of the characteristics of the larger Echo speakers but in a more compact form factor. 3,999 Rupees.

10. Dyson Pure Hot+Cool is a vacuum cleaner that is both hot and cool.
