假日來臨,這些禮物值得考慮
假日禮物導(dǎo)購手冊幾乎是包羅萬象,老少皆宜?!敦?cái)富》雜志自己也發(fā)布了不少,包括視頻游戲、咖啡與茶、波旁酒和烈性酒、奢華時(shí)尚、紅酒,甚至包括紅酒周邊用品?。ㄎ覀冞€有終極圣誕禮物導(dǎo)購,無論送禮的對象是誰,你總能從中找到合適的禮物。) 但實(shí)際上,我們有時(shí)看導(dǎo)購的目的是自用而不是送禮。難道有錯嗎?今年有不少漂亮的小玩意以及閃亮的(貴重)物品值得大家擁有,而且往往是令人一見傾心。此外,今年還有不少劃算的交易,大大增加了在眼下囤積自己可能需要(或者就是想要)物品的必要性。 對于任何計(jì)劃在假日季旅行的人來說,眼下是購買科技和旅行用品的最佳時(shí)間。鑒此,我們在下面為各位提供了在收拾行囊離家之前應(yīng)該考慮的必備物品簡要清單。 |
There is a holiday gift guide tailored for virtually everything and anything. Everyone and anyone. FORTUNE has plenty of its own, including for video games, coffee and tea, bourbon and spirits, luxe lifestyle, wine, and even gadgets for wine! (And then there is our supreme Christmas guide with gifts for just about anyone on your list.) But honestly, sometimes we just look at these gift guides for ourselves more than others. And why not? There are plenty of bright baubles and shiny (expensive) objects to behold this time of year, and it’s hard to look away. Plus, there are plenty of good deals out there, making it all the more appealing to stock up on things you might need (or just plain want) for yourself right now. And for anyone planning to travel this holiday season, deals for tech and travel gear couldn’t be better than right now. Here’s a very short list of some essentials you should consider packing before leaving home. |
谷歌Pixel 3:我在出行時(shí)必須帶照相裝備。但有時(shí)候,擺弄一個(gè)具有卓越成像能力的高端設(shè)備是一件繁瑣而且令人抓狂(更不用說高昂的成本)的事情。在去年,說真的,智能手機(jī)的拍攝能力終于達(dá)到了至少最高級別傻瓜相機(jī)的水平。盡管這個(gè)說法純屬主觀臆斷,而且沒有進(jìn)行跑分等測試,但至少在我看來,谷歌Pixel 3在手機(jī)攝像領(lǐng)域真的是無人能出其右。(這個(gè)觀點(diǎn)基于十年來對各種相機(jī)、智能手機(jī)和跨界合作產(chǎn)品的體驗(yàn)。)自Pixel 3于10月初亮相以來,除了我之外,科技專欄記者、攝影師和相機(jī)愛好者均對其做出了很高的評價(jià)。但拍攝功能只是Pixel 3能夠從市面上競爭對手中(包括iPhone和其他安卓設(shè)備)脫穎而出的其中一個(gè)原因,另一個(gè)原因在于,它沒有臃腫的軟件,同時(shí)配備了人們所能想得到的最簡便的設(shè)置流程。它應(yīng)該成為人們路途中的導(dǎo)航儀和照相機(jī)。建議零售價(jià):Pixel 3——799.99美元或威瑞森(Verizon)合約價(jià)33.33美元/月;Pixel 3 XL——929.99美元或38.74美元/月。共有三種顏色,按照谷歌的話說就是:黑色、亮白和非粉。 |
Google Pixel 3: I’m not someone who can travel without a camera. But sometimes, it’s cumbersome and exhausting (not to mention extra costly) to tout around a higher-end apparatus that takes excellent photos. In the last year, truly, smartphones have finally caught up to at least point-and-shoot cameras at the highest rung. And, while this is entirely subjective and not based on processor tests, etc., the Google Pixel 3 is truly the best of the best when it comes to smartphone cameras, at least in my humble opinion. (An opinion formed by covering cameras, smartphones, and the cross-section for a decade.) I’m not alone either as the Pixel 3 has drawn extensive praise from tech journalists, photographers, and camera enthusiasts alike since it debuted in early October. But it’s not just the camera that makes the Pixel 3 standout from the pack—not just the iPhone but also any other Android device on the market because it ships with no bloatware and instead just delivers the easiest setup process imaginable. This should be your navigator and photographer on-the-road. SRP: $799.99 or $33.33 per month on Verizon for the Pixel 3; $929.99 or $38.74 per month for the Pixel 3 XL. It’s also available in three colors, which Google describes as “Black, Clearly White, and Not Pink.” |
為谷歌Pixel 3打造的Bellroy手機(jī)套:Bellroy為Pixel 3打造的真皮手機(jī)套采用了類似于鼴鼠皮筆記本的極簡設(shè)計(jì),能夠存放4張卡(盡管零售商在廣告中特別提到了只能放4張卡,但如果卡再纖薄一點(diǎn)的話還能多放幾張)。手機(jī)套外表面可放兩張卡,以方便拿取,另外兩張放在Pixel 后面,盡管拿取也比較便利,但多少還是打了一點(diǎn)折扣,因?yàn)榉饪谑谴盼降?。手機(jī)套里面襯有柔軟的微纖維織物,外部則配以磁力閉合扣,它還能充當(dāng)支架。建議零售價(jià):89美元,有5種顏色可供選購(黑色、焦糖色、深藍(lán)、珊瑚色和寶石藍(lán))。 |
Bellroy Phone Wallet for the Google Pixel 3: A minimalist design reminiscent of a Moleskine notebook, Bellroy’s leather phone wallet for the Pixel 3 can store up to four cards (and a few more if they’re extra slim, although the retailer specifically only advertises room for four). Two cards slide into the flap for easy access, while another two can sit behind the Pixel, which really does easily pop in and out—but not too easily as it is secured by a magnetic closure. The interior is lined with a soft microfiber fabric, and the exterior also sports a magnetic flap closure that doubles as a stand. SRP: $89; available in five shades (black, caramel, navy, coral, and graphite). |
Holly & Tanager:確實(shí),你的手機(jī)如今可以取代錢包的功能,至少在家的時(shí)候是這樣,因?yàn)槟銉H需要少數(shù)幾張卡,例如身份證或駕照,以及地鐵通票。即便你已經(jīng)在蘋果和谷歌的支付應(yīng)用中捆綁了信用卡,但在去國外旅行時(shí),你應(yīng)該攜帶信用卡復(fù)印件,還有(很明顯)你的護(hù)照。同時(shí),你還應(yīng)該帶上其他幾種紙質(zhì)文件,例如酒店訂單,以防手機(jī)電池耗盡。(再啰嗦一句,還有紙幣。)Holly & Tanager致力于生產(chǎn)一系列時(shí)尚旅行產(chǎn)品,包括多功能旅行錢包(可用作腕帶),并帶有內(nèi)部拉鏈袋、卡槽、身份證插兜以及一個(gè)足以容納智能手機(jī)的內(nèi)襯套。建議零售價(jià):175美元。 |
Holly & Tanager: Sure, your phone can replace the need for a wallet these days—at least while at home when you only need a few cards, like a state ID or driver’s license and a subway pass. But even if you have your credit cards loaded to Apple Pay or Google Pay, if you’re going abroad, you should really carry the hard copies and (obviously) your passport. It’s also still a good idea to have a few printouts ready of other documents, like your hotel itinerary, in case your phone battery dies. Thus, a sizable travel wallet fits the bill. (And paper bills, pardon the pun.) Holly & Tanager makes a number of stylish travel products, including a versatile travel wallet (that doubles as a wristlet), with zippered interior pockets, cardholder pockets, an ID pocket, and an interior sleeve big enough to hold a smartphone. SRP: $175. |
Modern Picnic:即便是喜愛無日程自由行的人士也應(yīng)設(shè)定一條鐵律:不要在旅行途中過于饑餓(也就是餓怒癥)。隨身帶點(diǎn)點(diǎn)心總不是什么壞事,但不可否認(rèn),可用于攜帶點(diǎn)心或午餐的好方式(至少要有點(diǎn)美感)并不多。向你推薦Modern Picnic。這款午餐盒在經(jīng)過改良后如今已成為一款高端旅行用品。這款包采用人造革和隔熱層襯里,內(nèi)部擁有超大空間,權(quán)當(dāng)它是一個(gè)帶有餐具袋和餐具兜的白菜價(jià)版Mulberry錢包吧。建議零售價(jià):149美元。 |
Modern Picnic: Even for those who love to travel free without an itinerary, there should be one ground rule: never travel too hungry (i.e. hangry). It’s always a good idea to bring snacks, but admittedly, there aren’t a lot of great options (at least aesthetically) for transporting snacks or lunch. Meet Modern Picnic, the lunch box that grew up and is now a sophisticated traveler. Outfitted in vegan leather with an insulated interior, there is plenty of room inside the bag, which could double as a much more expensive Mulberry purse, with pockets and slots for cutlery. SRP: $149. |
Wicked耳機(jī):我們已經(jīng)迎來了耳機(jī)的新時(shí)代。在這個(gè)時(shí)代,無線應(yīng)該成為所有耳機(jī)的標(biāo)配。可不是,人們在狹窄的飛機(jī)座位上再也不用為耳機(jī)線而煩惱。對于長途飛行來說,降噪功能對于想在飛機(jī)上小憩片刻的人來說至關(guān)重要。Wicked Audio HUM 1000 頭戴式無線耳機(jī)可通過藍(lán)牙連接你的設(shè)備,并承諾能夠主動消除97.5%的環(huán)境噪音。這款獨(dú)特的耳機(jī)似乎專為活躍的差旅人士打造,配備有軟科技耳罩,其電池續(xù)航為13.5小時(shí),采用了可拆卸折疊構(gòu)造,當(dāng)然還配有一個(gè)旅行便攜包。建議零售價(jià):99美元。 |
Wicked Headphones: We’ve reached a point in history in which all headphones should now just be wireless. And wow, does it make any movement while in a cramped airplane seat all the easier. For long-haul flights, noise reduction is crucial if you’re going to get any rest. The Wicked Audio HUM 1000 headset is wireless, connects to your devices via Bluetooth, and promises active noise cancellation with 97.5% ambient noise reduction. These particular headphones seem built for active travelers, with soft-tech cushions, a 13.5-hour battery life, a collapsible and fold-up form, and, of course, a travel case. SRP: $99. |
eBags:想要在機(jī)場凸顯自己的時(shí)尚范嗎?有一款旅行箱可以幫你完成這一任務(wù),它就是eBags Fortis。這款22英寸硬殼萬向輪隨身攜帶小箱是一款集時(shí)髦款式和安全性于一身的尤物。其箱體采用了超耐用拜耳聚碳酸酯材料,輔以鏡面涂層和凸棱外觀設(shè)計(jì),有助于遮掩磨損。它配備了套管式拉桿,以及四個(gè)靜音萬向輪。eBags內(nèi)部配備了全包裹式襯里,束縛帶以及帶拉鏈的隔布,能夠?qū)⑾潴w分隔為兩個(gè)獨(dú)立的存放空間。盡管其外部硬殼可擴(kuò)充高達(dá)1.5英寸,但eBags稱該旅行箱能夠滿足大多數(shù)航空公司的隨身攜帶行李尺寸和重量限制。更重要的是,該箱還配備了嵌入式TSA組合密碼鎖,帶來了額外的安全保障。建議零售價(jià):199美元。(財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)) 譯者:Pessy 審校:夏林 |
eBags: A suitcase can now do the work for you when it comes to looking chic at the airport. The eBags Fortis 22″ Hardside Spinner Carry-On is both modern in both style and security, made from ultra-durable Bayer Makrolon polycarbonate material with a mirror finish and a raised rib design, which should reduce scuff visibility. Equipped with a telescoping handle and a quartet of silent 360-degree spinner wheels, the eBags carry-on features a fully-lined interior, tie-down straps, and a zippered divider establishing two separate packing areas. Although the hard-shell exterior is expandable up to 1.5 inches, eBags boasts the suitcase should meet most airline carry-on size and weight restrictions. To top it all off, there is a flush-mounted TSA combination lock for added security. SRP: $199. |
