Describe a piece of technology (not a phone) that you would like to own.

You should say:

• What it is

• How much it costs

• What you will use it for

• And explain why you would like to own it

You will have to talk about the topic for 1 to 2 minutes. You have 1 minute to think about what you are going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish.

The non-phone piece of technology I have been longing to get my hands on for well over a year is a compact high-resolution portable laser projector. Based on my research across trusted consumer electronics review platforms, a reliable mid-range model with 1080p resolution and accurate colour reproduction costs approximately 380 to 450 pounds. While that is a fairly significant upfront cost, I believe it is a worthwhile investment for both my work and personal life. Primarily, I would use it to host laid-back movie nights for my flatmates and friends on our apartment balcony during summer, projecting classic indie films onto a blank white wall for a deeply immersive, cinema-like experience without the expensive ticket prices. Second, as a freelance content creator, I can bring it to client pitch meetings to showcase my video portfolios on a far larger, more striking scale than a standard laptop screen, which will make my presentations far more memorable. I am eager to own it because it eliminates the hassle of relying on outdated, poorly maintained venue projectors for work, and it also doubles as a fantastic leisure device that strengthens social bonds with my loved ones. Its lightweight design means it fits easily into my backpack, so I can take it anywhere I travel as well.
