Google Nest Hub (2nd Generation)
I bought the Google Nest Hub (2nd Generation) from Lazada's Project KR for S$99.99 during a flash sale, matching the US price before shipping. I chose Charcoal, since my earlier Google Home Hub was in Chalk.

I bought the ILife Shinebot W450 from Lazada for S$249.99, down from its S$320 retail after 8/8 sale discounts and vouchers. It's a single-purpose mopping robot, so unlike most robot cleaners it doesn't vacuum at all.
I bought the Ugreen USB-C to USB-A Adapter on Lazada's 8/8 sale for S$3.99, below its S$5.39 retail. This USB 3.1 Gen 1 OTG adapter hits 5Gbps and comes with a keychain strap.
I grabbed the Xiaomi Mi Multifunctional Digital Clock on Lazada for S$16.99. It has a 3.7-inch e-ink display and pairs with the Mi Home app, but only if your region is set to China.
The Ugreen EU 4-Port PD 100W Desktop Charger is the brand's first 100W unit, retailing for S$74.99 though often cheaper in flash sales. With unusually premium packaging, it's a desktop charger powered by a separate 2m cable.
I bought an Atlas Headrest for my Herman Miller Classic Aeron during Lazada's 7/7 sale, paying S$232.18 against an S$280 retail. Installation took five minutes, and the headrest looks indistinguishable from a genuine Herman Miller part.
I bought the Logitech C920 Pro HD Webcam during Lazada's Online Tech Show for S$108.05, well below its S$149 retail. Its step-up model is the Logitech C922 Pro Stream, which adds 1080p streaming.
After getting my Sonos Beam, the natural next step was the Sonos Sub, now in its third generation since a May 2020 refresh. I bought it during the 6/6 sale, stacking vouchers down to about S$1,039.
The Ugreen 65W GaN charger packs three USB-C ports with PD 3 and one USB-A with QC 4. It comes in EU and UK plug versions, with the UK oddly cheaper at S$39.99 versus the EU's S$44.99.
The Baseus 65W GaN charger has two USB-C ports and one USB-A. Its Lazada listing is full of dubious buzzwords like GaN2 and PD4, but in reality it's the usual Power Delivery 3 and Quick Charge 4 charger.
Alongside the Ugreen and Apple 20W chargers, the Baseus 20W USB-C PD Charger is the cheapest option at just S$10.99. It supports the usual PD 3 and QC 4, and features Baseus's 'Super Si' silicon tech.
I bought this OEM Portable Laptop Stand from Lazada for S$14.50 during the 4/4 sale. It comes in two variants: a cheaper plastic P1 Pro and the aluminium N3, each in three colours.
I picked up the ORIA Digital Hygrometer Thermometer Display during a Lazada flash sale for S$9.20. It reads temperatures from -10 to 50°C and humidity from 10% to 99%, running on two AAA batteries.
I'd waited months for the Ugreen 65W GaN Dual USB-C Charger, which kept selling out. At S$34.19, it weighs 145g, about 1.5 times the size of Ugreen's 20W charger, with two USB-C ports of differing maximum output.
I needed a USB extension to run from my Aeotec smart switch's port, powering a Xiaomi USB fan for Li Xiang's plants. Ugreen offers USB 2.0 and 3.0 versions in lengths up to 5m.
UNI-T has become my go-to brand for cheap meters, after the sound-level meter I got in 2020. I bought the UNI-T Mini Light Meter (UT383) from Lazada for S$18.90, supporting both Lux and Foot Candle readings.
The HOCE MagSafe Charger Holder is a no-frills aluminium stand for Apple's MagSafe Charger, retailing on Lazada for S$17.49. Available in black or silver, it holds the charger securely with no moving parts.
The Ugreen 20W USB-C PD Charger is an Apple 20W adapter alternative, retailing for S$15.99. As a PD 3 / QC 4 unit, it delivers the 9V/2.22A MagSafe charging needs, though its UK pin doesn't fold.
My Razer BlackWidow Ultimate keyboard doesn't support a combined headphone jack, so I needed a splitter. I got the Ugreen Headphone Splitter Cable from Lazada for S$6.99, with a cheaper non-aluminium variant available.
Unlike the QC15, the Bose QC35 ships with a single cable and no microphone. With travel gone, I'm repurposing mine for gaming, so I bought an OEM mic cable for the QC35 for S$5.99.
The LEGO Botanical Collection is a new range aimed at plant lovers. The first launch has two sets, the Flower Bouquet 10280 and Bonsai Tree 10281, each S$79.90, though I grabbed both for S$71.90.
The Sonoff Micro USB Smart Adaptor, S$13.99 on Lazada, lets you control any USB device remotely via the eWeLink app. I couldn't pair it on my iPhone 12 Pro Max, but a SIM-less Pixel 3a worked.
