TECH

For the one that needs a smartphone. We didn’t bother to put iPhone on here cuz its a no brainer.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 is tenured in the smartphone market and probably the best all rounder. $149.00 – $199.00

The HTC Droid DNA has an absolutely massive screen (5 inches) and an amazing quad core processor. $149.00 – $199.00

The Motorola Droid Razr MAXX is an impressive option for its insane battery life. Its camera does not take very good photos leaving it in a comfortable third place. $149.00 – $299.00

For the one that needs a tablet:

The tablet and phablet (don’t ask) market is getting pretty crowded these days and it can be hard to sort the winners from the losers but don’t worry we did it for you. They come with a hefty price tag but also unparalleled build quality.The iPad is beautiful with the highest resolution in any tablet making the screen crisper than any other display. The iPad mini offers the same tech as the iPad 2 in a small portable package. iOS is extremely user and kid friendly it can however be limiting for the tech savvy.

With its amazing spec sheet and brilliant display surprisingly the show stealer is the clip in keyboard which adds a full laptop and trackpad setup. The perfect medium between a tablet and laptop. The Asus Transformer Infinity’s keyboard and android setup allow for the most flexible tablet experience.

At $200.00 the 7 inch Nexus 7 is a steal. It offers a brilliant performance to cost ratio and is only held back by its non upgradable storage.

The Kindle Fire HD offers a competitive experience. This 7 inch (and 8.9 inch) tablet comes in at $199.00 (and $249.00) and can be specced up to 32 GB. This tablet may be a winner this holiday season.
