Technology is the new superpower. From the influence that social media networks have on today's news, hackers that can expose the inadequacies of global corporations and electronic brands with cachet to rival top fashion houses, tech is on top. Then there is of course the gadgets that pump more voltage than any other or run on the most power-mongering chipsets money can buy.
Escalibur Exomax
What? You don�t own a crossbow? How will you defend yourself from attack by vampires, zombies and vengeance seeking elks? It�s time to get serious and purchase the Exomax. This metre-long hunting crossbow weighs just 3kg, yet boasts a 102kg draw weight � about the heft of a baby elephant � making it capable of shooting bolts at over 230mph. The Exomax comes ready-camouflaged and drilled to fi t the optional scope and quiver mounts. Now all you need to do is hoard ammo and tinned food, then wait for the impending apocalypse�
Price: �550
Alienware M18X
Feature-stuffed, over-powered and of hernia-inducing weight, the M18X might not be the most portable thing in the world. However, it justifies its monstrous price tag and size with a world-beating 32GB of DDRAM, a 2GHz, Intel Core i7 dual-core processor and dual, 2GB GDDR5 Nvidia GeForce GTX 580M graphics cards. In a multiplayer shootout, it�s the equivalent of turning up for paintball armed with a Bushmaster.
From �1,699
S3 Arctic Series Laser
With a beam that travels for over four miles, this isn�t your average laser pointer. In fact, this 1W blue laser is capable of starting small fires, bursting balloons and melting plastic with its gaze. More problematically, it may cause blindness if misused � a safety lock to avoid accidents is built in and very necessary. Please note: as far as we can make out, this is illegal in the UK. Just stick to toy lightsabers, yeah?
Price: $300
Sennheiser HD 800
These world-class cans have a frequency range of 6Hz to 51KHz. As you�re aware, the average human hearing range is between 20Hz and 20KHz, meaning the HD 800s produce sounds that you can�t even hear. As a result, your ears find the sound more natural, and odd reactions are produced if you make a dog wear them � though that will also look adorable. The huge dynamic range is achieved thanks to a uniquely oversized, doughnut-shaped diaphragm. Overall audio quality and build are both, as you�d expect at this price, rather special.
