Meet The Best New Gadgets 2014!!

Apple iPad Mini   In typical Apple fashion, the folks at Cupertino responded to smaller tabs like the Nexus 7 and Amazon Kindle with its own tiny tablet - and delivered a fantastically-built, high-end product that in many ways beats its bigger brother.  US$300/apple.com
Asus Padfone Infinity   Solving the need to constantly update your phone and tablet, separately, the Padfone Infinity is both an Android mobile and 10.1in slate. On the phone side of things, you get a 5in, 1080p smartphone with 1.7GHz Snapdragon CPU and 64GB of storage. Slot it into the full HD tablet and your apps are configured automatically to suit that bigger screen. The tablet also gives the smartphone extra battery, which provides up to 40 hours of talk time. The brushed aluminium and metal finish also make it extra suave.  US$1,245/asus.com
Cubify 3D printer   3D printing is the biggest tech trend of the year (fact) and now you can stick one next to your MacBook. The Cubify makes thing-making easy and accessible, letting you load up sample 3D objects or make your own, before watching those little plastic-excreting tubes build it before your very eyes. Soon you'll be able to make everything from your own gadgets and shoes, to washing machine parts and even human ears with your thingmaker, so best get some practice in with this one now.  US$1,920/protech-me.com
Fitbit Flex   The Fitbit One is more inactivity tracker than a pedometer, keeping tabs while you're hard at work sofa surfing, slouching about at work and even while you sleep. It works 24 hours a day, not just when you exercise, and won't hesitate to guilt you into putting on a pair of running shoes by showing you a daily and weekly exercise tally via app or handy online dash. You can also enter all the chips and pizza you've been eating into its online database, to give you a more rounded (pun intended) picture of your health.  US$125/ fitbit.com
HTC One   The best mobile in the world right now, everything from the gloriously detailed Full HD screen to the seamless gap-free aluminium body puts the HTC One upfront in an ever-increasing Android market. It's gorgeous tapered body makes it thin but reassuringly rugged, and the 4.7in full HD screen boasts a retina-spanking 468ppi and some of the best blacks in the business. Performance is just as impressive, with a quad-core Snapdragon processor and 4MP Ultrapixel camera that takes some of the best shots from any smartphone, ever. US$650/htc.com
LG 65LA970 Ultra HD TV               Smaller and more affordable (just barely) than its 84in predecessor, this Ultra HD TV offers the same 8-million pixel performance, integrated speakers and sweeping, shiny pedestal as its big brother. You get all the Smart TV features you'd expect from a 4K tellybox, including the usual streaming services and apps, along with passive 3D and NFC skills that let you play anything with the tap of a Smart Tag. Picture quality is quite rightly superb, and LG has upped the audio quality of the built-in speakers.  US$8,215/lg.com
MacBook Air 11in   This dinky laptop looks good for sure, but it reality there's a lot more to it than the subtle stylings. The 11in model is supremely portable, but gives you a speedy 64GB SSD that keeps Apple's OS X running flawlessly. And thanks to the 4GB of memory, even video and photo projects are possible thanks to Intel's i5 processor.  from US$1,300/apple.com/ae
