Tech Solutions with Cables and Gadgets!

It's hard to know which gadget or cable you need to fix your tech dilemma, let alone know where to find it! That's why we've put together this little list of great gadgets and gizmos to help solve some of your trickier problems.

The last thing you want to do with any kind of cable is bend it at an angle that could damage the wires inside. But what if the HDMI cable sticking out of the back of your TV stops you from wall mounting your display?

Thankfully the Dynamix HDMI Rotating Adapter will let you put that sweet flatscreen up on the wall AND keep your cable safe from getting distorted.

Simply attach the adapter to the end of your HDMI, then plug it in to your TV. Voila! Your HDMI can now rotate and swivel so you can position it just right.

Now all you have to worry about is what to watch!

Speaking of HDMI, the Digitus USB 3.0 to HDMI Adapter is perfect for outputting high quality video from your laptop to any HDMI display. Set yourself up with a second monitor to manage all your windows and tabs or better yet, hook it up to a projector and turn your wall into a sweet movie theater! (I suppose you could use it for work presentations too…)

Running through a USB 3.0 port, you don't have to worry about power supplies or any other unnecessary cables. Just USB in, and HDMI out to your display… even a trained monkey could set this up (although we're a little bias around here!)

The Transcend P5 Multi Card Reader is just a great device for dealing with memory cards. Supporting almost every format, this is perfect for camera enthusiasts or anyone who's just been on holiday. You'll be able to share your photos with everyone hassle free thanks to its easy plug and play capability.

The folks have built the P5 for functionality and durability, with parts designed to stand up to thousands of cards being inserted and removed. There's even a handy little LED to indicate card insertion and use. And it's compact, so you can pack it in your camera or laptop bag, or just throw it in your pocket!
