A few tech trinklets to make your Christmas merry!

For the busy workmate
Apacer AH225 Flashdrive. It is often overlooked but flashdrives are the savior of busy gals. Apacer’s has a metallic cap that can hold business cards (or your many scribbled notes) with its built-in clip, or pin them down metallic boards. Not the most glamorous, but definitely the most practical.

For the student achiever
Asus EEE laptop. Yes, girls, that is a working laptop. Four GB of hard drive memory may sound puny, but four slots for USB and memory cards should do the trick. It’s for people who don’t do much except the basics of computing—write, check emails, temporary storage of photos. There’s a webcam there somewhere, which should make break times from writing those nifty school papers a blast.

For the DJ-wannabe-brother
Isound iPod speakers. No wires, no batteries, all music. Plug this lego-looking speakers into your pod and off you go sharing your music to anyone who’ll listen. It’s not the best sounding speakers mind you, but the convenience, the design, and no wires will definitely make anyone happy.

For the fab jet-set friend
Belkin Mouse trap. She’s always on trips but she’s always logged on to the net anyway. Get her one of these mouse traps that keeps all the tech doodads in order and ready to go. It’s also a mouse pad so, that’s always cool. Soft and flexible, it’s easy to pack as well.

For the hipster sister
Targus Citylite Retro II. She’s always been into vintage and retro and ukay finds so getting her one of these Targus Retro II laptop bags is a good idea. It’s made with lightweight material so no to excess baggage. It has padded handles and removable shoulder straps for convenience. It has lining for protection, and extra pouches for extra storage. But best of all, it’s cute!

For your kitikitext amiga
Alcatel Elle No. 3. If she’s not drilling a hole, texting, she’s burning the mobile wires. If your amiga always has her phone on display thanks to a healthy sms life, get her this Alcatel mobile. Apart from withstanding finger-beatings, it can also perform multimedia functions—music, camera, video recording, Bluetooth. Did we mention it comes in three colors? Nice, eh?

Hi my hubby recently bought the ASUS sub-notebook and its really a great gadget. For those on the go or travels frequently, this is a compact, lightweight and practical tool. It’s got the basics for creating documents, presentations, skype,etc.And the great thing about it is that its got wi-fi! I can say its really value for money!
