Shakespeare said, “Clothes maketh the man.” Well if he had been around today that would have been, “Shoes and handbags maketh the woman.” Only shoes are not tax deductible unless they are steel toe protective boots.

Code Republic have a collection of leather work-life bags that can be claimed as a tax deduction this end of financial year. These combines the strength and space to carry everything you need including a laptop, iPad and more, with the aesthetic of a luxurious, feminine and stylish handbag.

GadgetGuy Loves Qi charging

Both our economy phone choices are micro-USB charged. But there are a few Qi charge phones now

  • Samsung Galaxy S and Note series since S6
  • Apple iPhone 8/X
  • LG G4/G5/G6/G7 and V30 and V30+
  • Nokia 8 Sirocco
  • Sony XZ2 and compact
  • Google Pixel 2 XL and many earlier Nexus
  • Moto Z (with Mod charge back)

Qi can have a 5W charging plate (for overnight or top up charge), 10W (faster charging) or 15W (for hybrid fast charge).

Here are some of our favourite Qi chargers

Laser “The Hills” Qi charger and four-port USB charger is a great business tool. It has a singe 5W charge plate and four 5V/2A USB charge ports. You can stack four smartphones or tablet devices between the crests.
