Bowers & Wilkins P5 Wireless Headphones
Wires should be the last thing on your mind in transit. With these headphones, they are. Plus they’re compact and have a long 17-hour battery life between charges.
HP Spectre x360 Ultrabook
HP’s new so-called “ultrabook” isn’t just thinner than the newly released MacBook Pro — it also boasts a larger display. The laptop runs on your choice of Intel i5 or i7 processor and comes with 8GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage.
Dark Sky Weather App
So your iPhone comes with a weather app. And Yahoo offers a very good one. Neither, however, are better than Dark Sky, which can tell you when it will rain or snow in your exact location, down to the minute. Yes, it costs money. No, it’s not a lot.
