6 Pieces of Tech We Can't Live Without

Like all its Apple cousins, this set-top box is slick and inconspicuous. This new generation includes a Siri-enabled touchpad remote that doubles as a game controller. Use AirPlay to mirror from your phone or tablet, or tell Siri to search for, say, sappy rom-coms, and she'll offer up titles and direct you to the apps to watch it--often Netflix or iTunes (Siri won't even throw shade if you pick a Katherine Heigl flick). Access to the App Store means you can trick out the box with games and a ton of iOS apps such as Gilt and Airbnb. From $149, Apple.com/TV/
