There's something very pleasing about the looks of the Boynq Alibi. Looking somewhat like an alien peeking out of the top of a vase, the Alibi is a combination of speaker and webcam. The speaker part uses the next generation of Audio Lens technology, suggesting that it's a one-speaker solution for surround sound. Then there's the webcam, which has an integrated microphone. The Alibi clears up some desk space nicely with this all-in-one system.

Boynq is based in the Netherlands and is known for designing PC and audio products. Available at Amazon and Target for $80.
