Vive XR Elite, Vipp Rubbish, And Best Alarm Clocks To Start Your Day

A roundup of this week’s most popular product launches.

This past week we saw lots of exciting new product announcements coming out of CES Las Vegas. One of them was the Vive XR Elite, HTC’s standalone VR headset. In addition to being lighter and less expensive than the Meta Quest Pro, the headset provides a full VR experience that includes six-degrees-of-freedom (6DOF) motion tracking for both the headset and its included motion controllers – no wires necessary. Meanwhile, we learned about the upcoming release of Vipp Rubbish – a waste can made of waste. Vipp Rubbish is an environmentally friendly remake of the iconic Vipp15 waste bin, originally released in 1939. Waking up to the sound of a clanging alarm clock is hardly the best way to start your day. Why not invest in an alarm clock that will wake you up gently?  Here are our picks for the best alarm clocks of 2023. Blancpain is celebrating the 70th anniversary of the original Fifty Fathoms dive watch that resulted in an ever-growing collection of the beloved watch over the years.Over the course of 2023, the company will be releasing limited edition timepieces to celebrate this event. The first announced edition is the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 70th Anniversary Act I, which we covered this week. Last, but by no means least, at CES, LG announced the release of its two new laptops – the gram Style and gram Ultraslim. The electronics giant’s new laptops shave  nearly 7mm off its predecessor, bringing its thickness to a svelte 10.99mm despite the inclusion of a beefy 15.6” OLED screen.
