    There are lots of things I want, but some more realistic things include:

    New mouse

    ...and that's as far as I have thought so far.

    I'd like the girl in that picture, plus the screen, and minus her clothes. Oh yeah and 6990 or w.e they're gonna call it would be nice too.

    I don't celebrate Christmas, but if I could wish for something right now it's the success of my current work place. It's the best job I've had in some time (and I've always worked at interesting companies, so that's saying something).

    On the tech level, I'm waiting for AMD Bobcat. That won't arrive in time for Christmas, as I understand it, but I can wish that it arrives soon and is everything I hope it would be. That is, that I'll be able to buy really small, light and inexpensive laptops that can actually have reasonable performance for both CPU and graphics (unlike Atom ones).

    If I just got the 27" monitor from the giveaway I would be very happy :=)

    I want a Sony Vaio EC series laptop. Customized, of course.

    A faster computer and some bigger screens for work. I can upgrade my home PC all I want!

    Julio, I think for Christmas you should offer a freelance spot on your writing team. Or an article entry for the site.

    I would love to have a new Android phone and World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. :D

    Yes, agreed! Idk how I forgot to mention that on my list. Unfortunately I think it's a tad bit too much to ask from blizzard, after all WoW is their real money maker. :(

    Seeing as I just bought myself parts to build myself a new desktop rig (much thanks to reviews/shootouts for the help), only other thing I feel I'm missing at this point is a nice mediumish-sized HDTV for my room.

    What I like for Christmas?
    1.) A new PC that's really awesome!
    2.) Xbox 360 and 10 free games!
    3.) COURAGE to tell a girl I like her
    4.)Money would be cool too.
    5.) still thinking about it. :)

    But I'd really like to get number 3 for Christmas. :)
  14. onzfeat Newcomer, in training Posts: 28

    quad processor for folding...
  15. Benny26 TechSpot Paladin Posts: 1,514   +35

    As some would say. You already have number 3, you just need to switch it on (or have a beer or two. That works for me! lol) :)

    I want Pioneer HDJ-2000 Pro DJ Headphones. But damn they cost a lot =( , so i guess a mouse pad for 10$ would be awesome lol
  17. omega00 Newcomer, in training Posts: 37

    I want the winning ticket for Powerball... but obviously I'm dreaming. More realistically, I want a brand new computer, an iPad..... and world peace.
  18. DSparil Newcomer, in training Posts: 35

    I want the 27" monitor that Techspot's giving away.

    2) HTC Desire

    ... and more, but lets keep it sane :)
