Samsung CHG90 QLED monitor

The widest ultra-wide monitor there is
Coming in at 49.5 inches, Samsung’s latest ultra-wide monitor is the widest there is. Making good use of that space, Samsung filled the screen with 3,840 x 1080 pixels with support for HDR color reproduction, making for a mind-blowing image. Ideal for both hardcore PC gamers and hardcore spreadsheet users alike, this screen is the equivalent of two Full HD monitors side-by-side, or three standard HD screens. Expect to get some serious mileage out of this pricey screen no matter how you use it.

Microsoft Surface Studio

The Surface Studio is one of the most impressive desktop computers you can buy and is especially perfect for artists. No other All-in-One PC converts this nearly into a giant digital drafting tablet. While there are bigger drawing tablet screens, nothing beats putting the Surface Pen directly to virtual ink all on the same display. The hardware inside is no slouch either and should fit the needs of video and photo editors equally as well.

Starkboard

While the majority of electric skateboards these days come with a remote-control throttle and brake, you can control the Starkboard by just leaning your weight. The result is a ride that feels more natural and as if you’re one with the electric skateboard. Mix in a few great design choices and safety features, and this is one of the best electric skateboards we’ve seen this year.

Whether you want something cooler than a regular electric scooter or ease your way into skateboarding, the Cycleboard is perfect for everyone.
