This little square box doesn't look like much, but it's a pretty killer modular music studio. Each color grid on the on the ROLI Blocks lightpad ($179) creates a melody, drum beat, bass line and other sounds.

9.August smart lock 智慧型門鎖




On the surface, there's nothing sexy about giving a door lock as a gift. But the August's Smart Lock ($229) is a worthy buy.
To quell fears of getting locked out of the home, it senses when you're near (by detecting your iOS or Android device) and unlocks the door.
從表面上來看,把門鎖當作禮物來送完全沒有什麼好興奮的,但是August推出的智慧型門鎖(要價229美元)非常值得買,為了平息怕自己會被鎖在家門外的恐懼,當你在附近時,它會感應(藉由偵測你的iOS或是Android裝置)並且把門解鎖。
The smart lock -- which requires an easy enough install -- is powered by back-up batteries, just in case the Wi-Fi or power goes down. (You can still carry a key for peace of mind.)
這個智慧型門鎖(安裝方式很簡單),由後備電池供電,只是預防Wi-Fi或供電突然斷掉。(你仍然可以為了心安帶一支鑰匙出門)
The real advantage is that you can give remote access to visitors -- say, a dog walker who's arriving at a certain time. The app also keeps a log of who's been coming and going, so you can check in to see if your kid is home from school yet.
而真正的好處是,你可以在遠處知道訪客是誰舉例來說會在特定時間點來的遛狗的人,配合的app也可以記錄有誰來有誰走,所以你就可以檢查你的孩子放學回家了沒。


10.DJI Mavic Pro(可收折式空拍機)



There are a ton of drones out there, but perhaps the year's most hyped (and rightfully so) is DJI's Mavic Pro ($749) -- a drone so small it rivals the size of a water bottle. Unlike others, it's light and foldable, so you can easily transport it in a bag.
市面上販售了無數種類的無人飛行器,但或許今年最熱門的(應該是正確地)是DJIMavic Pro(售價749美元)- 一台小到像水瓶的空拍機,不像其他的產品,他很輕可以折,所以帶在包包裡非常容易。

It's nearly half the price and size of its flagship Phantom drone ($1,400), and it captures crisp photos and video via a 4K 12-megapixel camera and even has live streaming integration.
價格和大小都是DJI旗艦空拍機Phantom的一半(1400美元),而且它可以透過一個4K 1200萬像素的相機捕捉清晰的照片和影片,甚至可以現場直播。

But it's not cheap. More affordable drone options include the Parrot Mambo ($100) and the Syma X5C Explorers ($60).
但它並不便宜,還有更多實惠的空拍機選項,包括 Parrot Mambo 100美元)和 Syma X5C Explorers 60美元)。


11.Eero Wi-Fi router Eero無線路由器)



Give the gift of always-working Wi-Fi. Most homes have one router, but Eero says that's like asking a speaker in the living room to make sure audio gets to your upstairs bathroom.
送一個永遠都不會斷的Wi-Fi當禮物,許多家庭都有一台路由器,但Eero表示這就像要求在客廳說話的人,要讓聲音傳到樓上的浴室一樣。
Eero's Wi-Fi extension routers make sure each inch of your house is covered, so you can stream movies and download big files without walking around to find the right spot.
EeroWi-Fi擴大路由器讓你的房子裡每個角落都能有無線網路,如此一來你就可以不用走來走去找到最好的地點,只為了觀賞影片和下載大容量檔案。
The neat part is you can shut off Wi-Fi accessibility in certain parts of the home, such as a children's room at bedtime. One Eero costs $199, a two pack costs $349 and a three pack is $499 -- although you can find them discounted on sites like Amazon.
它好的地方是你可以關掉家裡某些地方的Wi-Fi,像是在睡覺時間小孩的房間,一台Eero要價199美元,兩個349美元,而三個為499美元不過你可以在其他網站像是Amazon找到折扣。

12.Professional-grade selfie stick (專業級自拍棒)



DJI is most known for drones, but it's also made a big impact this year with other product lines, including the Osmo Mobile -- the high-tech selfie stick of our dreams. The gadget attaches to your smartphone and helps you take stable footage without amateur-style bumps.
DJI是以空拍機聞名,但今年他們也在其他產品線上有所突破,包括Osmo Mobile – 我們夢想中的高科技自拍棒,這個小裝置可以連接你的智慧手機,並幫助你站穩腳步,不會像業餘玩家一樣搖晃。
On the handle, you'll find quick access to the recording button and a way to lock the focus on whatever object you want. At $300, it's far pricier than other "selfie sticks" but none quite compare to the professional results of the Osmo Mobile.
拿在手上,你可以很快的按到錄影按鈕和對焦在你想要的目標上,售價300美元,價格與「其他的自拍棒」差很多,但這些Osmo Mobile上專業級的結果也明顯不同。
