Gaming consoles
The successor to the PlayStation 3 is about to launch and start the next console generation with a bang. Featuring a 500GB hard drive that should store plenty of games and downloadable goodies, this is the next step in HD gaming. The system also now lets you play a game while you’re installing it, a feature that was unavailable on the PlayStation 3. And don’t forget the new DualShock 4 controller, with a six-axis motion sensor and touchpad on the top for a unique gaming experience.
If the Playstation 4 represents the next step in gaming, the Xbox One might represent the next step in home entertainment as a whole. Featuring the Kinect camera that allows you to turn on the system and control certain programs using just your voice, the Xbox One is like nothing ever seen. Combine that with the always stellar Xbox Live online feature and one of the most comfortable controllers ever created and the Xbox One will be a huge hit this holiday season.
Tablets
Is it a tablet or is it a laptop? Maybe it’s both! The Lenova IdeaPad Yoga 2 can be unfolded and viewed like a tablet or it can sit at an angle like a traditional laptop setup. The Yoga 2 features a 1.6 Ghz Intel Core i5 processor and a wireless display that enables users to stream movies, TV shows, music or photos from their laptop to their TV using a NETGEAR Push2TV adapter.
The recently announced iPad Air is 20 percent thinner than the previous iPad and weighs less than a pound. Packed with an A7 chip with M7 motion coprocessor and a 9.7-inch Retina display, the iPad Air is both sleek and powerful. It even has enough battery to last 10 hours.
