ENTERTAINING

Keep your mind – and your family – occupied while stuck inside

1 NINTENDO SWITCH ANIMAL CROSSING EDITION

The Switch Lite is amazing for travel, but the full-fat Switch still tops our list if you’re doing your gaming at home – and Nintendo has done something wonderful with the cute-asa-button Animal Crossing special edition, which includes the quietly upgraded battery of the second Switch release. $842, nintendo.com.au

2 VALVE INDEX

Obtaining one isn’t the easiest thing in the world – when they go up on sale on Steam, they tend to sell out in seconds – but there’s good reason for that. This the ultimate top-end home VR experience, and (fittingly) it comes with a free copy of Half-Life Alyx too. $tbc, steampowered.com

3 AMAZON FIRE HD 10 KIDS EDITION

Low-end technology has finally caught up with high-end ambition, as Amazon’s kid-friendly version of the Fire 10 HD does amazing things on a tight budget. It’s a solid and, frankly, incredibly good tablet for the money – and tough enough to take whatever the youngsters can throw at it. $315, amazon.com.au

4 LOGITECH G PRO

Tenkeyless, so it doesn’t hog any desk space, and toting the tactile version of Logi’s excellent Romer-G keyswitches, this absolutely earns its ‘Pro’ moniker; whether you’re typing out a document or toting it around to esports tournaments, this is a treat for your fingers. $219, logitechg.com
