As TechRadar’s reviews editor, I take an absurd amount of tech with me each day – but, honestly, these are all essential items I don’t think you should be without

I’m sure you’ll be shocked to learn that, as TechRadar’s reviews editor, my go-bag is crammed full of gadgets. Part of that is that I’m lucky to get to test some really exciting tech. The other, more substantial part is that I’m a high-tech hoarder who can’t bear to leave the house without all the hardware I could possibly need throughout the day.

So here’s my run-down of all of the tech I carry with me on a daily basis, coupled with more than a few fantastic President’s Day discounts I’ve found on my faves.

First off, I can’t go anywhere without my MacBook Pro, as it’s an essential tool for creating on the go, especially if you make music, movies or art. Given I’ve owned mine for a long while now, the model I use is no longer available – but the MacBook Air M4 13-inch offers far more power and speed for creators, while coming in a slimmer package, so I’ve recommended this as a suitable alternative.
