I've spent countless hours researching, reading reviews, and testing out new products so that you don't have to! Let me help you buy things.
Here's the best bang-for-your-buck...
Digital Camera
This amazing digital camera from Canon shoots colorful photos in high detail; perfect for making prints. It features a 14x zoom and it can even shoot video. The 3-inch preview screen makes it easy to see photos immediately after you take them.
Laptop
The MacBook Air is just as thin as it is powerful, which makes for a sleek computing experience. Its aluminum frame is extremely lightweight and very durable. This notebook computer is the perfect choice for school, work, and travel.
HD Television
This 46-inch HDTV is perfect for almost any room. The LED backlit display produces a bright picture with gorgeous colors. Plenty of video inputs ensure that there will be room to hook up devices like cable boxes and game consoles.
Tablet
A tablet computer is somewhere between a smartphone and a laptop, creating a unique combination of power and portability. The iPad features an amazing 9.7-inch touchscreen, video calling, email, web browsing, and so much more.
eReader
The Amazon Kindle boasts a revolutionary display that looks nearly identical to a printed book. You can enlarge the text, download new books instantly, and take up to 3,500 books anywhere. This is a reading experience unlike any other.
Printer
There are plenty of less expensive printers on the market, but it's hard to match the speed and reliability of an HP LaserJet. Most printers are difficult to use and break within a year or so, but this HP LaserJet is hassle free and built to last.
Desktop
If you want to edit home movies, make music, or play games, then you need the ultimate all-in-one desktop. The iMac has become a classic choice over the past decade and this latest iteration with a 27-inch screen is absolutely exceptional.
dSLR Camera
Most digital cameras are pretty decent these days, but none of them can match the exceptional picture quality of a professional dSLR camera. The Canon 7D takes unbelievable photographs and can shoot breathtaking cinematic video.
Headphones
A decent pair of headphones is hard to come by, but the Bose AE2 headphones have it all. Deep bass tones support remarkably clear trebles, and the lightweight frame offers enough comfort for you to enjoy your music all day long.
Earbuds
For the best balance of portability and sound quality, the Bose IE2 Earphones are hard to beat. They're smaller and more affordable than over-the-ear headphones, making them a great choice for the gym or for traveling.
Speakers
Bose is well known for their quality audio products, but they're also known for high prices. That's where the Bose Companion 2 Series II speakers are different. At just $99 you can enjoy exceptional Bose quality sound at an amazing price.
HD Video Camera
Many smart phones and digital cameras can shoot video, but if you plan to take more than a few quick clips, its best to step up the quality with a Canon VIXIA camcorder. This camera shoots amazing HD video and is small enough for traveling.
