What's New, What's Hot is Travel Weekly's look at useful and fun travel gadgets, edited by Joe Rosen. First up, the Samsonite Underseater from eBags. This easily maneuverable spinner has an integrated charging port to coordinate with your electronic gadgets and is small enough to fit under an airline seat while still powering up your phone, tablet or laptop. Weighing only 7 pounds, it boasts multiple zippered exterior pockets, a front-pocket organizer and several interior pockets. Sleeves for a tablet and laptop complete the package.

While dual USB ports and a portable power bank keep your electronic accessories humming, this bag's 9-inch diameter wheels really keep it rolling. The wheels, which look as good as they move, are attached to the sides of the carryon, eliminating the need for a space-eating interior axel. Other attributes of the G-Ro Carryon include an extra-long, four-stage handle; a luggage locator that links to a dedicated app; and a padded laptop pocket among four exterior compartments.

Primarily designed for the off-road adventurer, this backpack features a removable, light-weight solar panel with enough juice to power portable electronics such as smartphones, tablets and speakers. The included power bank, which comes with two output ports, can be charged by the sun, electric current or any USB charger. In addition to plentiful pockets, the PowerKeep Wanderer Backpack has padded, adjustable straps; an interior hydration pocket with a BPA-free reservoir and drinking hose; and large compartments for outdoor gear.

This bag checks in at a remarkably light 7 pounds and it, too, features a USB port for on-the-go charging. Sturdy and built to last, this four-wheeler sports an RFID protective pocket to keep your travel documents, credit cards, etc., safe from the prying eyes of identity thieves. The iFly X Series Underseater has multifunctional storage compartments, a handy water bottle side pocket, laptop and tablet sleeves, a water-resistant nylon exterior, a wet pocket, removable laundry bag and a TSA-accepted lock.

It is one thing to take precautions when heading out for a trip. It is quite another to arm yourself for the ultimate calamity. But if ''Be Prepared'' is your motto, consider an over-stuffed Earthquake Bag packed with the essentials to keep two persons functioning for three days. In addition to a heavy-duty backpack, it includes two food bars; water pouches and water-purification tablets; a hygiene kit; a candle and bright stick; a hand-crank charger; a whistle; nylon rope; a first-aid kit; and two Mylar sleeping bags and a tube tent.
