You've been getting spammed all day from every online retailer you've ever bought anything from: Cyber Monday Deals! Last Chance! Click Quick! HURRY!!!
Well, don't panic, especially if your holiday list is long with gifts of the electronic and technological varieties. E-tech Expert Bret Hamilton and Lifestyle Guru Amy Goodman say there's still time to snag super deals on some of the hottest holiday must-haves this season.
If you haven't seen some sort of ad for a convertible laptop in the last five minutes, you're probably sleeping. They are ultra hot right now, and Amy's fave, the HP Pavilion x360 is available for special holiday pricing at Office Depot and OfficeMax. How special? $130 off through December 6th. Amy tells us, "The design features a 360-degree hinge for ultimate flexibility and four different display modes, so users can work, watch, play and use on the go to keep up with all of their different needs. Now, no matter which mode you choose, you're taking advantage of the latest in touchscreen technology, Beats Audio, dual speakers and the HP TrueVision HD Webcam to optimize your user experience." And with those super savings you'll get now through December 6th of $130 off, you can pick up this Pavilion for just $499.
And that's not all you can pick up at Office Depot and OfficeMax; it's one-stop shopping for Cyber Monday deals and beyond, not just for tech gifts, but also for all of your Copy and Print Services, including personalized gifts like these great calendars and photo books for your colleagues, family and friends. Amy adds, "Plus, take advantage of their In-Store Mailing and Shipping services that have night and weekend hours, too. So that's the ultimate in convenience." And don't forget to go Elf Yourself, their super fun app that lets you insert you and your friends into dancing elf videos that really capture the holiday spirit. You can download this free app onto your iOS and Android mobile phones. Check out OfficeDepot.com for more info.
Next up, let's talk TV. You love the picture on the one you've got? Great. Then, according to Bret, this holiday is your chance to make your TV sound as good as it looks with the LG LAB540W SoundPlate. "Here's how this works," explains Bret, "It's an all-in-one streaming home theater system. Compact size, but a huge sound. And best of all, it connects to just about any TV with no wires [and] no mounting other than just plugging it in the back; you don't have to screw any holes in the wall." And what it gives you is sleek slim big sound coming from a 320-watt 4.1-channel sound system and a wireless subwoofer that's all about that bass. Bret adds, "You've got 4 speakers; they're actually built in to the included - check this out - 3D Blu-ray player. So now you're watching your DVDs, you're watching your Blu-rays...you want more video? Smart TV apps are built in. You've got Netflix, you have access to Amazon, you have access to Hulu Plus. You want more than that? Well, now that you've got a great sound system, why not listen to your music? Bluetooth is in your phone, Bluetooth is in your tablet, so why not take advantage of it and stream all that audio content directly to your LG LAB540W SoundPlate?" And you can do all that for as low as $599.
And what about impressing that hard-to-shop-for person on your gift list with something tech-y? "Now, you are going to love this," says Bret, "Here's a gift for somebody you have no idea what to get them but you know they own a cell phone; it's from our friends at Halo. How many times do you get through the day and you look at your phone and you have one bar left? You're like, 'Uh-oh, now I'm going to run out of power.'" The solution? Halo's charger that works with any phone - ANY phone. Sure, it comes with the cables you need, but Bret says you can also top off tablets, cameras and even portable gaming systems. "Give it to the kids so they can never say, 'Hey, my cell phone died, that's why I didn't call you back,'" says Bret, "They can keep it in their locker, you can keep it in your purse. Throw it in the glove compartment -- great for emergencies, great for when you run out of power in the middle of the day." And to check out all of the really cool colors and designs from Halo, just visit Halo2Cloud.com. You can get a set of two for as low as $50.
So you can exhale now...there's still time to score great deals on great tech gifts, which makes for a holiday shopping experience that's as happy as the holidays themselves.
