The Dell XPS 13 is available at Dell online store starting at S$$1,599.
Fujifilm X100V
With all the available point-and-shoot cameras that promise to deliver high-quality photos, it’s rare to see those that can actually do, like the Fujifilm X100V. It promises impressive imaging capabilities, and it delivers. This camera comes with a quad-core X-Processor 4, which is a powerful CPU that quickly smoothens your photos right as you take them. This technology also allows this camera to take ultra-sharp photos in low-light environments.
The X100V also features enhanced face and eye detection. This improves the auto-focus performance of the camera, making it easy to take photos of people moving within your frame and faces who are facing sideways. It’s also packed with other features that can help you take photos of whatever your subject is.
Preserve your precious moments with the Fujifilm X100V for only S$2,169 available at TK Photo and other retail stores nationwide.
Beats Fit Pro True Wireless Earbuds
While this might not be a new gadget, the Beats Fit Pro remains one of the best earbuds in town. Recently, it added three new colours--coral pink, volt yellow, and tidal blue-- to its line, making these modern classic earbuds even more stylish. My favourite feature of the Beats Fit Pro is its listening modes. Unlike others that don’t give you a choice on how you hear your music, these earphones have two listening modes.
The first mode is a fully adaptive Active Noise Cancelling, which uses real-time audio to identify unwanted external sound, optimising sound output. If you want to be more aware of your surroundings, the Transparency mode is for you. It uses an external microphone to pick up environmental and ambient sounds around you to mix in with your music.
Get your Beats Fit Pro True Wireless Earbuds for only S$301.75 available at the Apple online store and other retailers nationwide.
Xiaomi 13 Pro
Can’t decide whether you want a new camera or phone? Well, no need to choose anymore with the new Xiaomi 13 Pro. This latest addition to Xiaomi’s flagship line boasts a camera like no other. Powered by Leica, this smartphone sports a triple rear camera: a 50 MP Sony IMX989, a 3.2x optical zoom-capable 50Mp telephoto camera, and a 50 MP ultra-wide-angle shooter with a 115-degree field-of-view.
For selfies, you’ll get a 32 MP camera, which is pretty unimpressive compared to the rear cameras. But don’t worry; you can still capture beautiful photos, just not as stunning as those that are Leica-tuned. When it comes to performance, Xiaomi never disappoints.
The Xiaomi 13 Pro is available in two colours, black and white, for only S$1,699 at Xiaomi’s Lazada store.
Samsung M8 Smart Monitor
If you’re looking for a screen that can handle both work and play, the Samsung M8 Smart Monitor is the one you need. This smart monitor has everything that a smart TV has: a WiFi connection and streaming apps in a real 4K HDR.
The best part? You don’t need to hook it up to a PC to browse the web, edit a document, and work on different projects. This monitor has Microsoft 365 apps and can even be used to remote control your desktop. Oh, it also has a camera, so you can hop on any meetings with just a screen.
The Samsung M8 Smart Monitor is available for only S$888 at Courts online store and other accredited Samsung retailers.

Fujifilm Instax Mini 12
Polaroids will never go out in style and Fujifilm has proven that over and over again. Now, the company has released its latest addition to its Instax line: the Fujifilm Instax Mini 12. Compared to its predecessor, the Instax Mini 12 can take brighter photos any time of the day. Its shutter speed, flash brightness and other settings automatically adjust depending on the lighting.
On top of those, this new Instax camera can take close-up photos, perfect for distances of 30 to 50 cm. You can also use it for selfie photos, thanks to its selfie mirror. It also automatically adjusts the flash when you take a selfie, allowing you to get the right amount of light without overexposing your photo.
The Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 is available in five colours (Pastel Blue, Clay White, Mint Green, Blossom Pink, and Lilac Purple) for only S$169 at the Fujifilm Lazada store.
