The Gadget: Kangaroom’s laptop stand and charging station, which offers a ventilated laptop stand as well as two phone/iPod holders so you can have a place to charge your gear without cluttering up your desk. It’s even tilted, since many laptop users enjoy typing at an angle.
The Gadget: Kangaroom (whose cable organizers we’ve tested before) has a video game storage unit that’s designed to be a cheap and space-conscious alternative to an entertainment centre to hold your games, controllers and console. It’s also stackable, so you can pile them on each other to form one giant storage center.
The Price: $45 for the game storage unit itself on top, and $75 for the game storage unit plus the drawer on the bottom.
The Verdict: It’s a fantastic idea in theory, but in practice the storage unit on top is actually not tall enough to hold either the PS3 or the Xbox 360. You can only fit in a PS2 or a Wii—both horizontally—which makes it kind of a disappointment to next-gen fans. However, the compartment on the right holds both controllers and accessories, which makes it not a total loss.
We’ve been fans of Kangaroom’s cord organizers for a while, so their newest Game Console Storage units seems like they’re just the thing to keep your gaming neat and organized without a large entertainment center. Not only does the unit hold one standard-sized console (not sure if the Xbox 360 or PS3 can fit in there though) it also holds 37 games and a couple controllers. If you have multiple consoles, you can even stack multiple Console Storage units on top of each other to form your own Captain Planet-game storage area. $40 for the console storage unit and $80 for the storage unit plus game cabinet.
