As I gaze at my calendar, the holiday shopping season is upon us. Of course, I have to take care of my wife and daughter first, but I certainly deserve to buy myself some nice gifts. I think I've worked hard enough to earn them! :))))
Anyway, the two things that are at the top of my list are a new laptop and a Bluetooth headset. So I am now asking you folks out there to help me pick out what I should buy. I have my own thoughts, but before I take the plunge, I would like your input. Here are some things you'll need to know before you comment:
1) For the laptop, the most important thing I want is WiFi and Bluetooth functionality. I'm setting a price point at
$2,000, but I will go over (slightly) if I can justify it.
2) For the headset, I'm looking at a price point of $200.
OK folks, there you have it. I would appreciate any thoughts you may have and, who knows, maybe you'll be helping your fellow readers on their own holiday shopping questions!
1. For the laptop, ask yourself what functions does it need to perform? Is it going to be a "desktop replacement" or will you use it as a mobile warrior where it needs to do everything on the road? Is size/weight a big deal to you? Are you walking around a lot with it or driving or is it mostly going to be just sitting on the desk?
$2000 will buy a lot of laptop, so you have wide open choices. Nice present!
