Samsung 32 Inch Odyssey G5 Gaming Monitor
You need a good monitor when working from home. Although you might opt to carry your laptop from room to room, there are times when you need a larger screen to best view those complicated worksheets and dashboards. When that time comes, you’ll be glad you opted for a larger monitor like the Samsung 32″ Odyssey G5 Gaming Monitor. This curved display features WQHD (2560×1440) with 1.7 times the pixel density of full HQ, a 144Hz refresh rate, 1ms response times, HDMI and Display Port outputs, AMD FreeSync Premium, HDR10 for more vibrancy, and deeper blacks.

Microsoft Surface Pro 8 13 Inch laptop
You also might need a work-specific laptop. Sure, your company might have supplied you with a device that’s adequate for the job, but why settle for adequate when you can get superior performance and a sleek design that will make your work more efficient? If this sounds like your situation and you’re permitted to work on non-company-issued machines, consider the Microsoft Surface Pro 8 13″ convertible laptop, which comes with 16GB of RAM, 256 GB SSD internal storage, an Intel Evo Platform Core i7 CPU, a 13″ display running at 2880 x 1920 pixels, detachable keyboard with backlit keys, built-in kickstand and an active Slim Pen 2.

Razer Kraken Ultimate Gaming Headset
When you’re in one of those never-ending Zoom meetings, you want coworkers to be able to hear you and for people in your house to not hear what your colleagues are saying, so why not buy a headset built for those very things? The Razer Kraken Ultimate RGB gaming headset is a great option because it not only has outstanding sound and mics, but it’s also comfortable for long-term usage.
