One of his two favourites in the list: an empty laptop shell powered by your phone that is cheaper and lasts ages on battery.

He uses the Apple Pencil's weight distribution as an example of hidden work that makes things feel simple.

A thin, light plastic LCD writing pad that wipes with one tap; he is a fan and hasn't used anything like it.

A tiny, well-finished phone dock with USB-C, HDMI, USB-A and a headphone jack.

The best portable phone monitor he has shown, slim with a great stand and touchscreen, but dim with no battery.

His favourite Bluetooth keyboard for smartphones thanks to its folding design, though it can fold up on uneven surfaces.

A USB-C dock that also works as a 5000mAh battery and 5W wireless charger.

A tiny, fast, drop-resistant SSD with a fingerprint scanner that he could get behind.

A slim, well-built tablet with an S Pen included and a great screen, though DeX feels unfinished.

A plain-looking USB-C dock that adds HDMI, USB 3.0 and SD slots to a phone.

Shown at CES as a foldable that seems to have ironed out first-generation problems.

Its hinge looks promising, but he would not use it because he prefers a physical keyboard.

A portable 1080p display powered by the phone with one cable, useful for desktop mode or watching Netflix on the go.

Criticises Apple for reusing the same name for different generations, so buyers have to check the specs to know what they are getting.

Enjoying it, with fantastic battery life and portability, though the trackpad trails the MacBook.

Metal mousemat has too much friction and is noisy, so he says no.

Compact eight-inch tablet with a modern feel, good screen and strong value if that size suits you.

Bigger, brighter 10.1-inch version with a fingerprint scanner and a huge battery.

One of his favourite wireless mice, comfortable and a steal at under $20.

A dock only for those very serious about their phone, adding USB 3.0, HDMI and Ethernet.

A very good way to add three USB ports to an OTG-capable phone.

Full-size wireless keyboard that is very portable.

Memory drive that plugs into both computer and phone.

One of the most portable and coolest ways to type on the go, though it needs a flat surface.
