Working from home isn’t just a trend anymore — it’s the new normal. Whether you're freelancing, attending Zoom classes, running a business, or working remotely for a global company, your tech setup can make or break your productivity.

In Kenya, the rise of hybrid and remote work has created high demand for affordable, reliable, and high-performance tech tools. At DigitalNest, we’ve curated the essential gadgets every modern remote worker needs in 2025.

Let’s break it down.
