Gear this week: the ultimate Lego Millennium Falcon, Xiaomi’s pure Android phone, and more

Lego Ultimate Collector’s Series Millenium Falcon

With 7,500 elements, this is the most intricate Lego Millenium Falcon yet. The hyperfast Corellian ship comes with rich exteriors, a detachable canopy, and detailed interiors. Swap out the crew and the sensor dish and you’ve got either the classic Falcon from the original trilogy or the new Episode VII/VIII version.

Logitech Craft keyboard

The new Craft keyboard comes with a creative input dial, what Logitech calls the Crown, that sits at the top left-hand corner of the keyboard. It comes with built-in integrations for seven apps, including Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Microsoft Excel (Windows) and Word (Windows). The aluminum dial is touch-sensitive, and lightly tapping it gives you access to context-specific functions. Pressing down on the dial allows you to switch functions, and Logitech says that this method of input allows for a greater degree of comfort and convenience.

It ships with a fixed 24mm f4 lens with a maximum shutter speed of 1/32000 (!) at up to 16fps (!). Video spec’s no slouch, with 4K clean HDMI out available and 40x super slow motion recording.

Xiaomi A1

The Xiaomi A1 smartphone is Xiaomi’s first-ever stock Android OS device, a departure from the regular MIUI that Xiaomi offers with their handsets. Thanks to Google’s Android One initiative, the smartphone sees Google in charge of finalizing the hardware and software of the device to ensure that it receives timely updates.

HP Omen Accelerator

HP is shaking up the external graphics dock game with the Omen Accelerator, an enclosure that adds extra GPU horsepower with a dash of additional storage space on the side. It uses a Thunderbolt 3 connection, and will theoretically work with any notebook that supports the standard and external graphics through its BIOS.
