First Gadget of the Week with the Amazon offer of the Anker Laptop Powerbank and Eufy scales has now ended but included a 25000ma powerbank which features 165 watt output, has 3 USB-C and 1 USB-A socket, two built-in USB cables, ideal for topping up devices including laptops and phone, along with the Eufy electronic weighing scales, which are ideal for those whom like cake (who doesn't?). It's worth keeping an eye on Amazon to see if they repeat the deal.

Second Gadget of the Week is the Logitech Combo Touch, this combination of keyboard and case for the iPad has an integrated robust kickstand and a high quality backlit dockable keyboard with trackpad. With various models available to suit different iPads these are a great way to revolutionise how you use your tablet. Scoring 4.5/5

Third Gadget of the Week is the Logitech MX Keys Mini. This small backlit keyboard detects your hand and turns on to save the rechargeable battery. With the ability to connect to three devices and switch between them you can control multiple devices, including Macs, iPads, Linux and Windows PCs, even Androids. Scoring 4.5.5
