100 Cool Tech Gadgets in 2024, According to a Tech Expert

Crafted in Portland, Oregon, the Leatherman Skeletool CX multitool is sleek, impressively lightweight, superbly built, and — for less than $100 — reasonably priced. Its onboard tools include the brand’s signature pliers, a small 2.6-inch blade, screwdrivers, and a carabiner that doubles as a bottle opener, among others.

Leatherman backs the Skeletool CX with a robust 25-year warranty. There are several colors to choose from, including bright new shades like the Verdant option pictured here.

Available for the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max, the Spigen Classic C1 MagFit case has a timelessly cool design that’s a nod to the legendary iMac G3 desktop computer from last century. With a colorful design, the Apple product made its beige and grey plastic rivals look bland in comparison. Best of all, the C1 case also delivers military-grade protection.

The phone cover has semi-transparent colorful back covers in graphite, blue, ruby, and tangerine (pictured here). I like that every case will showcase the Apple logo on the back of the iPhone 16n Pro.

This charging station by Anker is the best I have experienced yet because it’s sleek, compact, and incredibly versatile. It packs a duo of AC outlets, a pair of fast USB-C ports, and two USB-A ports. Such an abundance of outputs ensures the accessory can power up just about any gadget you or the giftee own — from a desktop computer to a smartphone and tablet, all the way to smaller gadgets.

One of my favorite bits about the charging station is its built-in color display for keeping tabs on the charging process of its USB ports. With a slim profile and a removable cable, the accessory is also a perfect travel companion. A more powerful version of the product with even higher USB output is also available if you don’t mind spending more and carrying a bigger adapter.

The Casa pop-up desk by Logitech is an awesome new laptop accessory that’s tailor-made for space-starved remote workers and on-the-go professionals. The do-everything accessory consists of a stand that will lift the laptop to eye level to optimize comfort, as well as a wireless keyboard and touchpad. Combined, the accessories will allow you or a giftee to create a full-blown workstation just about anywhere.

Impressively, the keyboard and trackpad have dedicated storage slots in the laptop stand. When folded, the Casa pop-up desk is about the size of a large notepad.

The all-new Beats Pill Bluetooth speaker is a follow-up to a bona fide legend and an instant challenger for the best products in its class. In addition to the compulsory sound upgrades over the past iteration, the new Pill brings a water- and dustproof build with an IP67 rating and longer battery life (up to 20 hours).

Like the brand’s excellent Studio Buds + wireless earbuds, the Beats Pill speaker is equally great for iPhone and Android users. Remarkably, the gadget is compatible with both Apple and Google object tracking services, so you or the giftee can always keep tabs on its whereabouts.

The Coway Airmega 100 is one of today’s best budget-friendly HEPA air purifiers and a great option for small spaces. It has an elegant and minimalist design and a sophisticated air-filtration setup with a real-time air quality indicator, all at an agreeable price.

Available in blue or white, the Airmega 100 has a compact footprint and intuitive controls. Another bit we like about the device is its silent operation. Most of the time, you won’t notice there’s such an appliance in the room.

Both Apple Watch Ultra iterations are fantastic smartwatches, and their large titanium cases with a distinctive shape and a flat sapphire crystal cover are among the many reasons why. This titanium bracelet by Nomad is among our favorites for the timepiece. Its design, grade-5 titanium craftsmanship, and tactility match the Ultra, making it look even more luxurious.

The accessory weighs a tad above two ounces, so it’s great for mechanical watch converts. You can order it in black or natural titanium finishes.

The all-new iPad Pro is Apple’s sleekest, most advanced touchscreen slate yet and the absolute best big-screen tablet worth your attention, regardless of the platform. The thoroughly revamped Pro has a strikingly thin design, best-in-class hardware specs that include Apple’s latest M4 chip and captivating Ultra Retina XDR display, and a performance to match.

Apple offers the slate with an 11- and a 13-inch screen in silver or space black. The latest iPad Pro also arrived alongside a new Apple Pencil Pro and a metal-clad Magic Keyboard with a haptic trackpad.
