Tom's Hardware Holiday Gift Guide 2013
Tom's Hardware Holiday Gift Guide 2013It's that special, holiday time of year, and once again you're out in the cold, overclocking your brain, trying to come up with that perfect gift idea for a friend, one for the kid, or significant other. We know it's difficult, and that's why we've created something we hope you'll find to be a little different. This is not your father's gift guide. This is your Tom's Hardware holiday gift guide.
Oh sure, there's some typical fare for you game enthusiasts, but we know your secret. Deep down, we're all drawn like cats to some sparkling, moving object just because it's being driven by technology. We've gone to our entire staff and asked everyone for their idea of the perfect holiday gift, money being but a mere object in some cases. What you'll find on the following pages may surprise you, or maybe inspire you (and in some cases drive you to call us crazy, but hey, we've been there before).
From monitors to robots, from wearables to sporting goods, from kitchen gadgets to tablets, we've got it covered. Take a look, and feel free to share with us, and each other, your own wish list of sparkly objects. On behalf of the entire staff of Tom's Hardware, we wish you and yours a most happy holiday season.
where are the girls?
more like "Honey I bought all this stuff, and the store says all these girls came with the stuff free of charge. can we keep them please
Want to look at beautiful women? Go for it. No need to sexualise every random thing though.
I guess, if you can afford it, you can conspicuously consume a symbol of environmentalism that costs more than the middle class home. Just like Al Gore jetting all around the world while asking that others relegate themselves to bicycles.
Sex sells. This is a known fact. You do these products and their sales numbers a disservice by leaving the Tom's models out.
Nothing will beat the 2012 gift guide if hunks of plastic and metal are all we have to look at for 2013. This is truly a sad day. Tom's I plead with you to add the models back to the gift guide.
That's what I'm talking about!
It's a solid marketing tactic. You appeal to basal instincts to grab and maintain an attention level. People are sexual by nature and there's nothing wrong with it.
Fritz Nelson apparently thinks IT techs make 200k/yr
Watch the language. - G
Gyro Phantom Helicopter: $24.99
And I thought - "Hey, I need to look at this gift guide for more ideas for the kids." Haha - joke is on me. The $24.99 Gyro Helicopter at Kohls is not quite the Black Sheep Discovery Quad Copter for $3000.
Nice toys, but not a very practical gift guide IMO. I would think you guys could come up with more practical ideas that fit into more practical budgets - like Crash's - that was perfect.
Also, timing BEFORE Black Friday would be nice!
Yeah where's the fail horn?
1) Good Looking Gal(s) to keep interest (simple thought I know, but expected on these each year)
2) Technology that most can afford
3) Computer parts that are <$500
