You know, sometimes we get a little tired of all this race to small. There’s micro this, and nano that, but at the end of the day, does it really make that much difference? Do we need this perpetual descent into tiny-land to make our lives happier? Probably not.

Maybe this is why we’re happy to report on this Backup Battery Desk. There’s no pretension about size here, matey. This is a big bit of tech, which doesn’t care what people think. Sure it’s also a lap desk which will adjust to nine – count ’em – different angles, and yes it has twin USB ports and a gooseneck LED lamp in-built to supply light and power to your life.

But at the end of the day it’s a piece of furniture, OK, so please don’t forget it. The device holds a 10,000 mAh battery block, folds down for traveling and can be recharged in 24 hours using the supplied cable. Priced at $99.95.
