Tech Gifts for Non-techies Giveaway!

My mother could do with a replacement for her old desk bound brick of a laptop which has become problematic after the windows 10 upgrade which cause the old wifi adapter to require running the fix it wizard each time the computer wakes to reset the adapter to connect.  Intel isn't releasing a new driver for windows 10 for a legacy abg adapter. 

 

Anyways, a ChromeBook would be my selection, large(relatively) 13.3" ips display for old eyes, and let google handle the technical support.  She doesn't use anything outside the google ecosystem so it would be perfect.

My grandpa uses these really crappy headphones listening to music. I'd rather have him listening with good quality headphones since his hearing is getting worse :(

This is a bit uninspired, but I would recommend an iPhone for non-techies. Everything you need is there and just works. When my mom needs a calendar, a map, email access, whatever it's there. And with iPhone's proliferation any problem that does arise is easily addressed with a Google search. Older models are cheap or even free with contract in the US and work great for non-power users.

A new laptop for my grandparents, as they are always complaining about the one they have now,

it is very slow (take about 5-6 minutes to start before you can use it):

thanks heaps for the giveaway my mum keeps getting confused with the millions of remotes and buttons we have with all of our consoles and tv's and needs something that could contrary to her opinion de-clutter the remote table so i would love to give her a nvidia shield tv because that way we can solve a few problems

 

-neaten up the lounge

-provide a bright easy way to watch her favourite shows

-provide a console for all of the kids and me to play on together this Christmas

My Mom.

    She is single and lives by herself plus not the most wealthy. She always tries to save money anyway she can. One of her ways of saving money is not turning on her heat or AC. It's always an ice box or extremely hot. So I would like to get a Nest Thermostat instead of her basic on or off thermostat. Showing her way to have the heat on more efficiently instead of freezing just to save money. And living in Wisconsin would help her out tremendously.  

 

Thank you! You would truly make her christmas.

and she would be more than grateful for the second generation instead of the 3rd. 2nd generation

This is for my family basically (if I really need to be specific, my dad), our family is not that into tech, the only ones that do is me and my brother, and this gift is to group the family together, all right? So I present/gift I want to give to my whole family is an Xbox 360 (Non Kinect version,  http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-500GB-Console-Horizon-Bundle/dp/B017KIHMQE/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1449740625&sr=1-3&keywords=xbox+360+horizon+2) with Forza Horizon 2. Me, my brother and my dad like cars, and my mom and sister barely know what is a console.....so this is a chance to let them know technology and hopefully they will get into it. I would prefer the Kinect version, so we could play some sports during the weekends with the family, but then it's over $300.....so maybe I will salvage a Kinect from a used game store or something.

 

Thanks LTT and the crew for this giveaway :D

I would love to get my mother the new Apple Tv for her room. I have one at my house and it's the absolute easiest thing to use and it just works like it should. Right now she has the first gen. Chromecast for her tv and she is always having issues, it won't play the video sometimes, it won't connect to her tv out of no where, it always lags, x,y,z. She's pretty deep in the Apple ecosystem so an Apple TV wouldn't take much adapting for her. They don't have them on Amazon so if that is an absolute must then I think she would be fine with this smart tv by vizio http://www.amazon.com/VIZIO-D39H-D0-720p-Smart-Model/dp/B017WM085K/ref=sr_1_53?s=tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1449738529&sr=1-53&keywords=smart+tv&refinements=p_n_feature_five_browse-bin%3A6928153011%2Cp_36%3A8589204011 A little smaller than her 45 Inch TV now but i know she'd prefer it. Thanks and merry christmas.

My dad works 47hours a week and spend the most time in his old car with that old freaking radio that only takes these BAD! FM/AM signals

My grandfather has been using a hand me down iPhone 4 for about a year now. Considering the small size of the iPhone and my grandfathers diminishing sight I think a larger tablet would be great for him to use. Also I will work with the chromecast I got him for his birthday, just another reason to get rip of his iPhone 4.

Would get my parents a Nexus Player. It's a super easy way for them to access Netflix and YouTube. Having a remote is a huge plus for my mum as sometimes using her phone is a bit dickie at times...

My brother really likes creating music, but does so with his apple earbuds! I am buying him a dac/amp combo for Christmas and I think the 250 Ohm Beyerdynamic DT 880 Premium Headphones would be the perfect match.

I really think that my mum would like a UE boom speaker. She loves borrowing mine and I'm thinking of getting her one

She uses a 3.5 mm cable though because the Bluetooth is a hassle.

I want to give my parents a NAS. Here's why:

 

(They currently have an Asus ultrabook)

Parents: "Where are the family photos and videos?"

Me: "did you plug in that hard drive i got you guys a while back?"

Parents: "well, were out in the living room on the wifi"

at this point I start sighing.

 

So I would like to get them a NAS. this should (hopefully) solve most of their issues, and every so often i could also load some new movies on it.

and that way they can access everything from where their ultrabook is in their house.

I want to get my parents a decent set of speakers, cause right now they still use the speakers that are on the TV and they think it "works just fine".
