Now that we are finally in the middle of summer and many of us have started our holidays or are counting the hours until they start, the time has come for getaways, outings and trips to disconnect and enjoy without worries.
As we have many days off in a row than at other times of the year, it is common for us to take advantage of these dates to make longer trips, whether at a national or European level.
Although everything is to enjoy once we have reached our destination, the truth is that the journeys can become a real nuisance if we have no way of distracting ourselves other than looking out the window and watching the kilometers go by.
Luckily, every time there are many more technological options to take hobbies anywhere and to be able to fill idle moments. We are talking about devices such as e-book readers, tablets to watch series and movies, portable video game consoles. From El Comprador de La Vanguardia we propose you some.
To watch movies, series, draw or listen to music, a perfect companion will undoubtedly be a tablet like this one from Samsung, 10.5 inches, with up to 4GB of RAM and up to 64GB of internal storage.
This model will also allow us to enjoy a spontaneous movie session in the park or in bed with the quadruple speakers with Dolby Atmos technology. By having a 7040mAh battery we won't have to worry about it running out before the movie is over.
If we want the little ones to also be entertained and have a good time without noticing the long hours by car, train or plane, there are also tablets for children like this one.
This is a 7-inch format with an easy grip for little hands and a lightweight, durable, impact-resistant case. With this device they will be able to play games, watch cartoons and movies. In addition, they will be able to choose if they prefer the color blue, pink or lilac for the casing.
If we don't get dizzy when we're on the move, a very good option is to spend a few hours reading a good summer with an e-reader like this one.
It is the most compact and lightest model, with a 6-inch 300 ppi screen and up to 16 GB of storage. A single charge of the battery lasts weeks, so we will not have to suffer with it stopping halfway.
If our thing is video games, we will not find better entertainment for long trips than a console like this, focused on portable games due to its compact and lightweight format.
This version has the controls integrated and allows up to eight Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch Lite consoles to be connected simultaneously to play competitive or cooperative games.
Whatever the device that we are going to take on a trip, it will be important that we keep in mind the issue of batteries. So that we never get stuck in the middle of a movie, series or song, the ideal thing to do is to take an external battery like this.
This model has a capacity of 30,000mAh, which is more or less equivalent to 7 charges for a mobile and 4 for an iPad mini. Also, it has 3 inputs and outputs, so we can charge several things simultaneously, and a flashlight.
Also, to watch movies, series or cartoons in the back seat, we can choose a more fixed option such as this DVD player with two screens, perfect to be installed on the headrests and to be like a TV.
The built-in 2600mAh battery allows the use of the main player up to 4 hours or the use of the two monitors up to 3 hours. If it is not enough, we can also connect the charger cable to the car cigarette lighter during the journey so that it can charge.
If we are two people behind in the car or sitting together on a train or plane, a very good option to spend some entertaining time together without the need for screens are board games.
The best thing to avoid losing pieces on the trip is to opt for a magnetic model like these four, which come in a pack: chess, checkers, tic tac toe and reversi.
Finally, to be able to completely escape and put on music or listen to our favorite content without any noise from outside, we must get wireless noise-canceling headphones like these from Sony.
The battery will give us up to 35 hours of playback and fast charging function (10 'charge for 60' playback). In addition, so that we can transport them well, they have a swivel design so that they can be stored in a suitcase or bag, taking up less space.
