Distance between friends and family means nothing when you have a smart video calling device like the Portal from Facebook. The Portal is hands-free with Amazon's Alexa built-in and the camera keeps everyone in the frame no matter where they stand around the room. That’s so necessary for those moments when you’re holding your baby and she cries the second you stand still. Pace across the room while talking to your parents and they won’t miss a beat in the conversation.

Starting at $179 at portal.facebook.com
