Question

What should I get my tech boyfriend this year?

Dec 21, 2011 4:36AM PST

Hello everyone- please help! My guy is a tech-support analyst and overall tech guru. I want to get him something tech related (was thinking a new netbook) but I also don't want to fail by making a poor choice in regards to specs.

He currently uses his laptop to remotely log in to our home computer as well as his clients computers (when he needs to fix their stuff). His current laptop works great but I know he has been eyeing something lighter and smaller so that it is easier for him to take everywhere. Something with a blue-ray dvd player would be awesome but I know netbooks don't have dvd players, so maybe a small laptop?

Any suggestions would be appreciated, even if it is not a laptop/netbook idea-- at this point, just need some ideas!

Thanks all!

The Girlfriend

Missed the mark by 20 to 80 bucks. Today I see it at Amazon and they toss in a 50 buck gift card.

Don't mind spending a bit more for a quality product, can you post a link to it? Can't seem to find it.
