Listen to article

AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE announced GPD MicroPC 2 with Intel Core 3 N350 announced Nintendo Direct to unveil Switch 2 games for second half of 2026 iOS 27 Beta Is Out, But You'll Need to Join a Waitlist to Try the New Siri AI Everything Apple Announced at WWDC 2026

For most people, Christmas is the only month of the year when they can get that drool-worthy gadget they’ve been wanting to buy for some time. There goes the 13th-month pay. So, what wishful gadget you got this Christmas?

The iPad just became official so I’m thinking a lot of people will be getting that for themselves or as a gift. The Macbook Air 11.6″ is drool-worthy as well as the Canon S95. Maybe an HTC Desire HD, a Samsung Galaxy Tab or even one of those Archos tablets.

As for me, I’ve settled for this one — a Fossil Duffle Bag.

Not really a gadget but something I can use to carry around all the gadgets I’ll be bringing for the Christmas vacation.

Actually, deciding which gadget to get this Christmas is way harder than any other year I can remember. There’s just too many to choose from.

And yes, I’ve been busy replying to emails and FB messages asking for purchase recommendations. So, what did you get yourself this Christmas?

A Lenovo Z460… I was originally going to buy Acer TimelineX 1830T, but I preferred performance over portability (having pretty much the same price). And I don’t really need the 6-8 hour battery life since there’s almost always an electric outlet from where I am. Besides, Li-Ion Battery will have an inevitable decline in holding charge.
