It’s game day and your favorite beers are all the way in the kitchen. Head over to grab one, and you’re risking missing out on a game-winning touchdown. Why not save yourself the trip and install a refrigerated drawer in the cupboard next to your couch? Perlick’s 15-inch Signature Series Indoor Refrigerator Drawers offer more than enough room for beer, liquor, salsa, dip, and all your other game day food and drinks.

The drawers can do a lot more than act as a beer caddy, too. They come in different sizes and can be installed just about anywhere depending on your needs. Think living room, kitchen, garage, or even bathroom. Take a look in your medicine cabinet, and you’ll likely find shelves of items that would last longer in cooler temperatures. Beauty experts frequently tout the benefits of keeping eye creams, face masks, and other skin care products cold to increase their efficacy and shelf life. As for medications, they should be stored in cool, dry conditions, as they can become ineffective if stored improperly. The drawers can store skincare products, cosmetics, and medications for everyone in your family, so they stay cold and fresh for far longer than they would in a medicine cabinet.

Perlick fridges have a Rapidcool forced-air refrigeration system, and contents are kept cool at 33 to 42 degrees, making this fridge rated for food and beverage storage but not for freezing. If you don’t have a whole lot of space to spare, the 15-inch model has 2.8-cubic feet of storage space and could be an option to consider. If you have more room to work with, check out the 24-inch model with 5.2 cubic feet of storage space. Both include two full-extension drawers for all your storage needs.

With its stainless-steel exterior (and interior), these drawers will look sleek just about anywhere, but you also have the option of choosing wood overlay drawers. You can install them yourself, but if you’re not as confident in your handyman skills, you can always hire a professional to provide expert guidance.

Prices start at $3,000 from select distributors.

This Microsoft app could help you spice up your desktop

If you're looking to spice up your Windows desktop in a new way, then you might want to keep an eye out for an item that may be coming from Microsoft soon. Reportedly in the works is an app that can help you create animated backgrounds with custom effects for Xbox consoles, as well as Windows PCs.

First teased as an "unknown project" by the well-known Microsoft leaker Aggiornamenti Lumia a few months ago, it looks as though the leaker has finally managed to reveal what Microsoft was working on. Aggiornamenti Lumia now believes that the project is the Xbox Dynamic Backgrounds Editor app, showcasing it partly in action.

You’ll have to imagine how fun the new OnePlus Nord 2 x Pac-Man phone looks
The OnePlus Nord 2's camera module.

OnePlus is up to its old promotional tricks again. It has announced a collaboration between it and the ever-popular Pac-Man video game franchise, resulting in the OnePlus Nord 2 x Pac-Man Edition smartphone. OnePlus’ marketing department is building anticipation in a frustrating way by telling us how we can win one of the new phones and promising early access codes to the online store if we’re unsuccessful, but not actually showing us the phone at all yet.

You’ll have to pay extra for the new MacBook Pro’s fast charging feature
New 2021 Macbook Pro brings back magsafe charging.

Apple finally introduced its redesigned MacBook Pro line that brought many features that professionals and prosumers alike will definitely enjoy. One of those features is ability to get at least 50% charge after only 30 minutes of fast charging. However, the catch is that the ability to fast charge comes at an additional cost.

The base model 14-inch MacBook Pro ships with the 67W USB-C adapter. The problem is that it isn't enough to actually fast charge the base model. To take advantage of Apple's impressive fast charging, buyers must pay an extra $20 for the 96W USB-C power adapter. While $20 doesn't seem like much (especially if you're paying $2,000 or more for a laptop), it's disappointing that one of the marquee features of the new MacBook Pro is still an extra charge.
