Welcome to TechGuySmartBuy’s 2013 Holiday Gift Guide! We have compiled a product guide to make your choice for gifts a lot easier with great specs and pricing for the holidays.
Surface Pro 3
Microsoft 3rd iteration into the tablet/laptop hybrid is definitely the best one thus far. Something this powerful probably won't get used a lot as just a tablet but as a laptop, this is a powerful Windows performer. SSD, pen support, 2K touchscreen display, super flexible kick-stand, and a great battery.
Lenovo Yoga Pro 3
Lenovo's 3rd take at the already great Yoga Pro changed the game yet again. It is now super-thin, lightweight, a high-res touchscreen display and sports a new watchband hinge to support the 4 different modes. Still powerful utilizing Intel's M CPU, its also great for media w/ JBL speakers.
Macbook Air
Apple most affordable while still powerful laptop is the MacBook Air. Offering great battery life, SSD storage, + powerful Intel CPUs. Good enough for your internet + productivity needs and can tackle light media editing as well. Super portable and w/ all of the software the Mac OS has to offer.
MacBook Pro Retina
Definitely the most powerful in Apple's inventory of laptops. Arriving in your choice of 13 + 15inch Retina screens, either are powerful enough to handle all of your simple + more complex needs like photo/video editing + music production.
iPad mini 2
While we didn't recommend the latest mini 3 due to the price tag. The mini 2 is still a great buy as it is only missing Touch ID. It boasts a beautiful 7.9inch Retina display, powerful 64-bit A7 CPU, and access to Apple's massive App Store.
Yoga Tablet 2 Pro
Nexus 9
The latest from Google is a high-end tablet that sits in-between the Nexus 7 + 10. It is running pure Android 5.0 Lollipop, it has dual front-facing speakers, lightweight, great performance + ideal for gaming. Ideal for many as this covers many areas.
iPad Air 2
The big brother to the iPad minis. Now even thinner, faster CPU + Wi-Fi, and equipped w/ Touch ID. This is probably the 1st tablet you can get great photos out of w/ its 8MP iSight camera. The 9.7inch iPad has evolved greatly to get to this point.
Nexus 7
Toshiba Chromebook 2
Chromebooks have been steadily improving year-after-year. Out of the many still out on the market, Toshiba has an interesting combination of specs w/ the Chromebook 2. Powered by an Intel CPU, Skullcandy audio, dual mics, and a every port necessary. This is ideal for younger students, parents or anyone who needs a machine just to get on the Internet.
