Sale Price: $199.99
Generally speaking, the built-in laptop webcams (even the really expensive ones) aren’t the best, with their compact size forcing them to settle for low-resolution, 720p video. The Dell UltraSharp Webcam is a massive upgrade, with a sensor that supports 4K video and a wide-angle 90˚ field of view.
It’s also packed with smart features, such as AI autoframing that makes sure you’re always in focus and in the center of the frame, digital noise reduction that eliminates motion blur, facial recognition, and a handy lens cap for privacy.

Upgrading to a wireless keyboard and mouse is great for cutting back on the tangled mess that can make an office desk feel cluttered. But this particular combo set has a special feature: it can connect to multiple devices simultaneously.
With integrated Bluetooth and 2.4GHz RF connections, this mouse and keyboard can be paired with up to three devices at one time and allows you to switch control between each of them instantly.
So if you have a combination of laptops and desktop PCs in your office, you can work on all of them without having to connect separate peripherals to each one. Dell also claims the set possesses industry-leading battery life: up to 36 months of daily use.
