Time To “Tech The Halls”

This holiday season, consumers are expected to spend about $135 BILLION dollars on TECH – that’s up 10% from last year. So, if you’re looking to “tech the halls,” here are some options:

 

Taking Advantage of 5G — The hot technology when it comes to new smartphones is 5G, which means faster downloads, faster gaming, smoother video chatting and no buffering.  BUT most 5G phones are very pricey. Here’s the exception – it’s from TCL, the same folks who make affordable large screen LED TV’s.  It’s the TCL 10 5G UW. It’s on the Verizon 5G network, has a large 6.5-inch HD screen and is perfect for watching movies and more. It has 3 cameras on the back and a selfie camera on the front. It’s under $400 and available exclusively at Verizon stores and online.

 

Entertaining Gift Ideas — Since the pandemic started, many of us have missed being able to go to a live concert or music festival. Well here’s a terrific substitute. It’s a video game called FUSER from the folks behind Rock Band and Dance Central. It lets you create your own custom music mixes using parts of famous songs from artists such as LIZZO, LADY GAGA, BILLIE EILISH and many others.  AND since so many of us are isolating, FUSER allows you to move your socializing online. Players can share their creations on social media or even compete with each other in DJ Battles. This is truly a ‘feel good’ gift and is available on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PC.

 

Upgrading Your WFH Setup –We’re using our computers now more than ever, and since we’re dealing with large work files on our home computers or laptops, storage can really be an issue. That’s what this is all about. The WD BLUE SN550 from Western Digital.  It’s an internal NVMe storage drive that’s 4-times faster than traditional hard drives and can help speed up your computer’s performance, especially when multitasking. It’s perfect for those large work files, and especially great for content creators working on graphic design, editing, music, movies and more. AND it’s cost effective, starting at just $54.99 with capacities up to 2TB.
