Weekend Open Forum: What do you want for Christmas?

By

On November 6, 2010, 1:15 AM

Alright folks, it's crunch time. There's less than two months (49 days for those counting) until Christmas morning, and we know many of you are scrambling for gift ideas -- we are too. It can be nearly impossible to find the perfect present for that special geek in your life and we hope to ease the process with our annual holiday gift guide. Due to be published by mid-November, the guide includes many of today's coolest gadgets and electronics spanning all budgets.


While that should help you find items for your friends and family, we want to give you an opportunity to tell the world what you'd like for Christmas this year -- whether it's an iPad, a big screen TV or good health and well-being. To get things rolling, we've collected answers from some of the TS staff. Julio hopes to receive a Logitech diNovo Mini and a new HTPC, Steve wants a lawnmower, and Jose plans to spend time at a ski resort with his wife. How about you?

  1. 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.

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

  3. A new car and a new gaming PC

  4. 1) SSD harddrive (hopefully from Techspot)

    2) HTC Desire

    ... and more, but lets keep it sane

  5. For Christmas I want Razer to design a keyboard similar to the wolfking timberwolf!!

    I also want an Artisan Kai mousepad and a Asus Xense soundcard headset combo.

    OH, and throw in a GTX580 superclocked also FTW!!!

  6. new monitor or maybe get half of a laptop paid for.

  7. iPad would be nice...but I´m not really missing anything right now, there are far more important things in life than just material values (:

  8. Tech wise, Starcraft II (Yeah I'm a few months late, I've been broke) and a new mouse, currently waffling between a Saitek Cyborg R.A.T. 7 or a Logitech G700.

    There are other things I *Want* but those are things I'm actually hoping to *get*.

  9. I'd also love to get an early Christmas present and win one of TechSpot's draws, but really that would be bonus to what I want for Christmas itself.

    I LOLed at the first part

  11. A really nice meal with my family would be the greatest gift for this holidays. Off course, a 128GB SSD from the giveaway it should work great as a tech-present xD

    I would love to hang around with my friends that live in another city... but that's a fact! I'm gonna get so drunk on holidays! lol...

  12. @Tomsea: I did win the lottery this week. Did you bring me luck? $30 in a bingo ticket.

  13. Lenovo T410s - the best gift

  14. I would like to have a new electronic device for Christmas, e.g. new Samsung Galaxy Tab

    That would be great indeed.

    I don`t really need anything for Xmas. just good health.

  19. More time? I'd love an extra two to three hours a day.

    Oh, you meant gadgets. Um, a new desktop PC, something gaming worthy but also with lots of hard drive space. I'm running out of storage.

  20. Hmmm... well another 460 GTX would be nice.

    A fast SSD for a boot drive in my main system would also be nice.

    Other than that, a nice day with my family with good food and fun!

  22. A new GPU would be awesome like the 6850/6870 & some games maybe, other then that just a great time for my family and the rest of us .

  23. My wishes to come true =)

    And a couple of games for PC and PS3(including Move so that I'm all set for 'Sorcery' =P).
