It's fair to say that there aren't a lot of truly innovative and fresh new products for musicians and creative types. Zoom's ARQ Aero Rhythm Trak changes that with its incredibly unique offering to musicians, DJs, and others with this all-in-one performance and production tool.

I see a lot of laptops come through my door and many of them try to impress with fancy sculpted cases and LED lighting effects. Granted, looking hot does get some points upfront, but after trying out my third Eurocom laptop in the past few years —this time the Shark 2— I’ve really come to appreciate this manufacturer’s approach. While the Shark 2 doesn’t look cheap, it is understated compared to many laptops aimed at the gaming and graphics professional crowd. It’s also a solid performer with a good display, high quality sound, a powerful Intel Haswell CPU and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M graphics card for gaming.

The Vitamix 6500 stand blender is perfect if you want a powerful motor and handy soup, smoothie, and frozen treat settings.

DJI's new RS3 gimbal improves on the RS line's stability and adds more control for a smooth, effortless workflow when shooting.

Pocket voice recorders are nothing new. They've been around for decades. However, the H1 Pocket Recorder by Zoom is in a class of its own. With criss-crossed mics for stereo recording, long battery life and huge recording functionality in a tiny package, this is the best recorder I've ever used.

I’m a big fan of herbs, especially basil. I grew up in a Persian household and herbs were always served with dinner. Wrapping feta cheese and fresh mint, dill, parsley or basil in warm Persian bread is especially delicious. I could live off that meal and never get tired of it. But I could never figure out how to get my herbs to last for a long time. I turned to Pinterest for a solution, and discovered the Prepara Herb Savor. I then noticed that Best Buy carried it, and asked them to send me a sample of this kitchen gadget to review.      

The VOSKER V300 Ultimate includes a 4G-LTE VOSKER V300 1080p camera and the VOSKER Solar Panel. It's the perfect combo for off-grid areas.

The Roland FP-90X is an excellent keyboard for either home use or live performance. Thanks to its realistic action and sounds, it will serve you well for years to come.

Turn anything into a frosty drink with the Ninja SLUSHi Frozen Drink Maker, from crisp diet soda to wintery mulled wine.

 The destruction caused by the Avengers has finally become a cause for concern for politicians; they want a system of accountability in place. This leads to a rift between Captain America (Chris Evans) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.).
