I would buy my Mum the Samsung HW-J550 because she is starting to get really into Bluetooth and the concept of it.

She has a device to play music (phone), but not a device she can play it externally so she can enjoy her classic 80's music. :P

 

Price: $297.99

Thank you :)

My dad is soon going to Peru to visit grandma, but he doesn't own a camera, just his crappy phone. I was thinking of gifting him a gopro session ($199) because it is very easy to use (one button to start and stop recording).

TY LTT!!

I have chosen a pair of heavy bass black headphones from Sony for my brother, because he is a bass lover and doesn’t have a decent pair of bass heavy Bluetooth headphones already. At the moment he has some weird non-Bluetooth Philips headphones.

For my father, it would be this: The Asus ZenFone 2. Very good specs as his current phone is running android 2.4 and cannot browse the web anymore and has put off replacing it for about 3 years. This phone is very up to date and should be for some time:

Well my brother has bought himself a new pc and as he was on a budget he bought an amd cpu and he had no money left to buy himself a new cooler so i would like to suprise him with a liquid cooler so it would be nice if i could get one for free from you.

Hello LTT Community and Staff,

 

First, i would like to wish a peaceful christmas time to everyone and their families!

 

Now! Ich would like to gift a new 2in1 Laptop/Tablet combination thingy to my sister, her husband and her two little kids. They currently use an old laptop of mine which, quite frankly, is barely holding togeather by now.

 

The product I chose is the Acer Aspire Switch 10 E for 219$.

Here is the link to Amazon(com): http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-Switch-SW3-013-1566-Tablet/dp/B015JJNF8K/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1449743831&sr=1-2&keywords=acer+aspire+switch+10

And a local link (DE): http://www.amazon.de/Acer-Entertainment-Convertible-Notebook-Graphics/dp/B00WEDT296/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1450099970&sr=1-2&keywords=acer+aspire+switch+10+e

 

The thing is: We live in Germany. Don't know if parttaking from here is possible.

 

Have a nice day,

Lorunification

Machines take me by surprise with great frequency

Honestly, I'd like to give my parents a flat screen TV. They yet use a CRT TV in 2015 and mahn it is pathetic. The clarity isn't there and it sounds really pathetic. But yet they act as if they are okay with it but would actually love to have a new one.
 

Here is a link to the TV i'd like to gift them: http://www.amazon.com/HAIER-40E3500-FULL-1080P-HDTV/dp/B00TOYJ0CW/ref=sr_1_3?s=tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1449744480&sr=1-3&refinements=p_36%3A-49900

iPad mini 2 for my mom. She has an extremely old Dell laptop that is barely usable. I would like to get her an iPad so she can browse freely instead of getting frustrated constantly because the laptop freezes and becomes a mini space heater.

Why do i always get blue screens? Why not a red one for a change?

My mom uses her phone a lot, but she still has this old phone (Acer Liquid something) with a 480p screen and barely a day of battery life.

She also likes to take photos however whenever I tell her to use the compact camera (Sony something, 1080p) she says her phone's camera is fine. However the photo quality is super bad.

The phone costed 100 EUR (148.34 CAD) and has struggle running 2 apps at a time.

 

She has it like for 4 years now and she keeps asking me to fix it, she really wants a new one.

 

I'd like to buy her a new one, but whenever I want to order one or go to the store and I want to buy it, she always says no.

 

So when I say Linus bought it for her, she can't not take it.

 

I was looking to buy her either of these 2, preferably the Huawei

 

Huawei P8 Lite (White): http://www.amazon.com/Huawei-P8-lite-Version-Smartphone/dp/B00W3WTLHQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449745581&sr=8-1&keywords=Huawei+P8+Lite+White&tag=linustechtips-20

Motorola Moto G (3nd Generation) (White): http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Moto-3rd-Generation-Unlocked/dp/B00ZQVSKS2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449745594&sr=8-1&keywords=Motorola+Moto+G+4G+%28Gen+3%29+16&tag=linustechtips-20

I was going to put my image signature here, but the forum said I couldn't.

Everywhere you go in our house there's storage devices with multiple copies of the same files because we have no central storage location. So I'd want to get a nas and give it to my dad so him and I can set it up and he doesn't have to always come to me to look for files.

I have chosen the Synology DS216play http://www.amazon.com/Synology-Station-Diskless-Attached-DS216play/dp/B016DW0NOG/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1449745179&sr=1-1&keywords=ds216 so we can use a drive we have at home and later expand it.

Note: at time of posting it was temporarily out of stock from amazon so it was showing a higher price but the amazon price was $299.99. If it doesn't become available a similar model would be fine too.

I have started a project to give computers loaded with Edubuntu to Mamplasan Elementary, a local school in the area. We have achived putting a computer in every classroom, but they are building 2 more. I would love to give them a new HP stream laptop for christmas to go in one of their new classrooms. The kids have so much fun learning from comptuers, and it really lights up my day whenever i go to the school and see them using the computers.

 

If anybody is interested in the project, you can check out some videos at techforteachingph.org
