US President Joe Biden is connected to the world at his White House desk via a Zoom rig with a rollable touchscreen worth $7,280 which is about six feet tall and weighs about 56 kg.

The president tweeted the tech set-up at his White House residence, saying that "gas prices are declining at one of the fastest rates we have seen in over a decade - we're not letting up on our work to lower costs even further".

Biden uses dedicated video and collaboration gadget with a 65-inch 4K screen, an integrated touchscreen and a 12-megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom.

The White House installed the tech setup after Biden's inauguration as US President in January last year.

Pre-pandemic, former US president Donald Trump did video conferences from a hulking rig at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, but the tech set-up was not this fancy and he preferred regular phone calls over Zoom meetings.
