It's that time of year again: snowflakes are falling, sleigh bells are jingling, and the days you have left to pick out the perfect holiday gift for everyone on your list are flashing by like dividing lines on the highway to Grandma's house. Never fear, though. Whether you live and breathe technology or you're just shopping for someone who does, we've assembled a perfect list of tech-savvy gifts to take the pain out of shopping (if not the credit card bill that arrives afterwards).
$399.99 USD Asus EEE
If you want to give the gift of mobile computing, but this year can't quite squeeze a thousand-dollar gift into your budget, the Asus EEE may make a perfect compromise. This petite two-pound laptop will go anywhere, and allow users to surf, type and chat until their heart's content, with a price tag significantly smaller than almost any other new notebook computer. Its intuitive operating system also makes it appropriate for kids. A tiny 7-inch screen and extremely limited 4GB hard drive won't make it much of a gaming or work machine, but for less demanding users, the price and portability can't be beat.
