Get charged up for yard work with EGO’s line of battery-powered lawn and garden tools, which includes a mower, blower, string trimmer, hedge trimmer, and chainsaw.

A new patent-pending 56 Volt Lithium-Ion battery is the interchangeable performance driver of this collection, and is fully rechargeable in 30 minutes. This interchangeability means you can seamlessly switch between tools without stopping your work flow. The intuitive, quiet devices are easy on your ears as well as those of your neighbors.

EGO claims to rival gas powered equipment in terms of performance, while eliminating the harmful aspects of such fuel-centered appliances.

Give your grass a haircut — without the noise fuss and fumes. The EGO Power+ Mower boasts a 20” deck, which trims down the number of passes required to mow your lawn. A 3-in-1 function allows for mulching, bagging or using the side discharge chute. LED headlights allow for anytime mowing, from sunrise to nightfall. When the job is done, the mower’s foldable design allows for easy and convenient storage.

Apple HomeView feature

Remember the hopping Pixar lamp that famously squashes the letter “I” in the studio logo at the beginning of almost every Pixar movie? Apple may be building something similar, except this Pixar-inspired device won't actually hop or roll around your room. 

Instead, its motorized robotic arm could swivel the screen around (basically moving it left to right, or vice versa, on an axis). According to a new report from The Information, the Cupertino giant is working on a larger, robotic version of its recently-announced HomeView smart display, and it might arrive as soon as next year.
