Spring officially sprang on Sunday, and tech may help you welcome in the new season. To talk new gadgets for the spring – from robotic lawnmowers to smart air purifiers — we were joined by tech expert Marc Saltzman.
Filtrete Smart Air Purifier (from $349)
Developed by 3M engineers to help capture airborne allergens, like dust, pollen, pet dander, and more. It works with an app and smart speaker, too.
ASUS Chromebook Flip CM3 ($499)
This Chromebook’s ultraportable and lightweight design, weighing just 1.1kg, lets you take your computer with you wherever you go this spring (and with 16-hour battery).
Samsung Freestyle Smart Portable LED Projector ($1,149)
Thanks to its compact design and adjustable 180-degree cradle stand, you can project your favourite content from a variety of angles on different surfaces, from a camping tent to your bedroom ceiling. Smart TV platform is built in.
Roku Streaming Stick 4K ($64.99)
Speaking of streaming content, Roku’s newest player, the Streaming Stick 4K, is an affordable and easy way to access a ton of free content, as well as access to your favourite subscription services, with a voice-enabled remote. Roku is now the number one TV streaming platform in Canada.
Gran Turismo 7 (from $79)
A fun and beautifully detailed game for PS4 and PS5. It’s a true homage to automotive racing and car culture, with 400+ photorealistic cars available (and 90+ tracks), online racing, and more.
Husqvarna Automower 430X ($3,199)
This super quiet (and emission-free) robotic lawnmower cuts your grass for you, even with steep hills and many obstacles, detects when it’s running low on battery and drives itself back to the base.
