Earlier this year, Airstream debuted a trailer it called the lightest, most aerodynamic in its class, the 22-foot (6.7-m) World Traveler. A half-year later, it's back with an even lighter variant: a 17-footer with the same style of streamlined exterior and pared-back Scandinavian-inspired interior. The new World Traveler 17RB becomes one of the brand's smallest towables, adding a clean, slippery shell that promises to go easy on the vehicle's fuel gauge.

Portable projectors promise flexible big-screen viewing, but they’re often not quite as portable as the word suggests. As we’ve seen with other compact models like the TCL Playcube, the segment is increasingly about making the image easier to position around your home. Still, you may need a table, tripod, nearby power socket, external speaker, or the tried-and-true stack of books to line everything up just right.
