Some things walk a thin line between useless and utility, and while I can think of a situation where a USB rechargeable razor would have been more convenient than a battery powered or car chargeable one, I can only think of one. So if you’re a student at a college like the one I used to hike near, and you needed to erase that 5 o’clock shadow before a night class after spending the day with your laptop studying the environment and wanted to fit your razor easily in your laptop case pouch, this might be useful.

The device’s robustness with respect to its ability to shave anything more than a 5 o’clock is suspect, and I question its durability and longevity. Suggested retail price is $19.95 but this thing is so gimmicky it seems like something you’d get as a door prize in a drawing at a sales convention.

At first glance this noisy little car powered by USB doesn’t seem that interesting, but much to our surprise it’s actually kind of cool. The USB RC Car is an actual radio controlled car that gives about 5 minutes of remote controlled drive time with a 10 minute charge.
