The Best Tech Gifts of 2022
The holidays are a great time to buy tech gifts for friends and family, whether you’re getting someone the latest smartphone or helping them upgrade their television set. These days, it’s possible to buy tech gifts at almost any price point, from small stocking stuffers all the way up to the hottest toys on the market that run thousands of dollars. If you need some guidance in choosing your tech gifts this year, check out our list of the best tech gifts of 2022 below!
Amazon Echo Dot
This is the smallest and cheapest of Amazon’s Echo devices, but that doesn’t mean it is any less impressive. For just $50, you can ask Alexa questions, play music, make shopping lists and more–anything you need help with. With a range of more than 100 feet away from your home wifi connection and the ability to work in noisy environments or large spaces, this one small device can make your day much easier.
Acer Chromebook R13
Featuring a 360° hinge and two-in-one design, the Acer Chromebook R13 is a versatile laptop that can function as either a touchscreen laptop or tablet with stylus.
Powerful performance, big screen versatility and built-in security features make the Acer Chromebook R13 one of the best tech gifts for this holiday season.
Google Home
It looks just like a regular compact Bluetooth speaker and you can even give it a voice name that isn’t OK Google. It was developed to respond to your voice (i.e., turn off the lights in the living room, or find a particular Beatles song) and is packed with Google Assistant, meaning you have access to all sorts of knowledge without having to lift a finger. For some reason though, I keep mine out on my kitchen counter instead of my nightstand!
New Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone
Available in Black, Coral Blue and Orchid Gray and weights 155g, it has a 5.8 Quad HD+ Super AMOLED display and includes support for wireless charging. One of the most notable features is its design, with Samsung opting for a cleaner aesthetic with slim bezels on the top and bottom. The fingerprint scanner has been relocated to the back next to the camera lens.
Jabra Elite 65t earbuds
Tried and true when it comes to earbuds, the Jabra Elite 65t delivers remarkable sound with a nearly invisible design. Weighing just 7.4 grams, these buds provide five hours of listening time per charge and a comfortable in-ear fit thanks to memory foam tips and three sizes for the included Comply Tx Sport Earphone Tips.
Microsoft Surface Pro 4 tablet with keyboard cover
Sitting on your desk or setting it up as a second screen for your office, the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Tablet with Keyboard Cover is a great accessory for any tech savvy person in your life. With its lightweight and sleek design, you can set this tablet anywhere to work or play. Equipped with a 12.3 inch touch-screen display and Windows 10 operating system, this tablet offers versatility to suit all their needs.

Anker SoundCore Bluetooth speaker

Apple iPad mini 4 128GB Wi-Fi Tablet
