Deck out your desk with Harmon Kardon speakers thanks to a new line of XDesks

Like it or not, the majority of us are spending at least 40 hours of every week at a desk. While we might not be able to do much about that time, we may be able to do something about that desk. NextDesk, the Texas-based power-adjustable standing desk company, has a new look and a new name, and hopefully, a new workstation that will make those 40 hours go by a little easier. Meet XDesk and its new product line, XDesk Vintage.

Five years after its initial launch, XDesk now has more than 12,000 desk combinations with various materials, finishes, and accessories available for customers to completely personalize their workspace. And moving forward, the company is looking toward even greater levels of customization. As XDesk Director Jamie Fertsch noted, “Listening to our customers shaped the new direction for XDesk. We no longer need to tell our customers that standing desks will help them burn more calories or help with a bad back — they already know that! XDesk customers are seeking desks that can make daily life and mundane tasks easier, faster and as hassle-free as possible, and that’s where customization and personalization plays a huge role.”

Enter the XDesk Vintage line, comprised of four new desk models (the Copland, Porter, Wynstone, and Dalton) and coordinating bookshelves, cabinets, and accessories. All of these new products draw inspiration from vintage and industrial furniture designs, with a focus on longevity. All of these pieces are said to be created with sustainable woods and solid steel (and like the rest of XDesk’s line, are made and manufactured in the United States). All these desks also have optional tech add-ons, including Harmon Kardon sound systems, built-in USB and audio ports, and additional storage.

Of course, the new desks also transform seamlessly into standing desks, with lifting columns that promise increased strength, stability, and speed. Plus, the desk’s Active Safety Protection sensor system claims to detect obstacles and automatically reverse the movement of a desk if any danger is detected.

The XDesk Vintage line is available for purchase with desks starting at $4,485 and accessories (like the company’s filing cabinets, bookshelves, and more) starting at $590.

When it comes to security camera deals, Blink is one of the most trusted names. That's why offers involving the brand almost always sell out quickly, which is what we expect to happen with Amazon's limited-time discount for a three-camera system of the Blink Outdoor 4. From the bundle's original price of $260, it's down to only $156 for huge savings of $104. You need to be fast with your purchase, as tomorrow may already be too late to get the package at 40% off.

Why you should buy the Blink Outdoor 4 security camera
The Blink Outdoor 4 is a fantastic outdoor security camera that's easy to set up around your home -- just place the three weather-resistant cameras in the locations that you want to monitor, plug in the included Sync Module where their recorded footage will be stored, and finish the installation through the Blink app. You'll be able to look through the lens of the cameras at any time through the app, and you don't have to worry about replacing their batteries often as two AA batteries will last up to two years. It's also highly recommended to sign up for a Blink plan to gain access to features such as cloud storage, person detection, and video sharing.

EverFrost 2 on the beach

Anker Solix just opened preorders for the upcoming EverFrost 2 Electric Cooler, and it looks like a rugged (and powerful) companion for your next outdoor adventure. Available in three sizes and designed to withstand the usual dings and dents of travel, it’s a premium device that’ll keep your food and drinks cold for up to 52 hours on a single charge.

If you’ll be out in the wild for an extended length of time, this can be doubled to 104 hours with an optional second battery pack. That’s a mindblowing number, and it makes the EverFrost 2 the longest-lastest battery-powered cooler money can buy. By comparison, the old EverFrost could run for up to 42 hours.
