So here is a short list of gadgets from the Consumer Electronics Expo 2013[1], new to the consumer, that is sure to stir up some excitement!

3. Oculus Rift – Think 3D is a fad and not here to stay? This virtual reality helmet creates a completely immersive 3D world where the wearer feels like they can walk around in their favorite video game or movie. This new gadget made an appearance this year at CES 2013 but is expected to take flight in 2014.

4. Nvidia Project Shield – A cool Android-based hand held gaming console for PC gamers who want to be mobile. Gamers can stream their PC games over Wi-Fi and enjoy an immersive experience on a portable console.

5. Lenovo IdeaCentre Horizon PC – Have you ever wondered about eating breakfast and reading the newspaper on your kitchen table? At the same time? As far as new gadgets 2013 are serving up, this 27-inch desktop PC when flipped horizontally can be used as an interactive table. Launch the Monopoly app it just got that much more intense now!

-->

Do you own a nice watch? Something that you can proudly where into that meeting you have next week. I believe that a watch outlines your personality and also tells a little something about that person.

I have composed a list of the “Top 2 Watches for Men: Under $500.” This list will help you chose the best tech savvy watch that will present your personality to who ever spots your funky watch.

1: The Citezen Proximity Eco-drive Bluetooth: This watch is a really cool one. It looks sporty but also holds a lot of technology for a watch in its price range. This wonderful watch has a Bluetooth function that alerts you when you get a phone call and if you get a text message or email. All for only $371.95!

2: Skagen: This is a watch brand from Denmark. They are known for their sleek and sporty design. The watch is extremely thin so it is a really easy watch to wear under your suit cuffs. They also use materials like titanium which is hard to find for this price range of watch.  Skegans are prices from $150-$400 the one pictured is $350.00.

What was your first watch? Where did you find it?

Fun gadgets can be tricky, we can help pilot the Tablet Wars!

This post is not about tablet reviews, instead a simple comparison guide that can help ease purchase anxiety and make you get the most out of your tablet. They might not be the newest tabs on the block but they are definitely still cool electronic gadgets and worth the investment.

The Google Nexus 7 Tablet is impressive because not only is it small (7 inches), it packs quite a punch. It sports a quad core processor capable of delivering lightning quick app launches and seamless multi-tasking. It has a very user-friendly price point at $245, making this product a definite bang-for-your-buck device. A drawback, however, and being a minor one in my opinion, is that it does not offer a rear-facing camera. But check out any cool gadget gift site and you will certainly find it in stock.

Shifting gears to Microsoft, their new Surface Windows 8 Tablet is the newest on the market and can definitely hold its own with the big boys. It is a tablet and a computer at the same time capable of running multiple apps seamlessly. This is totally a fun gadget and more useful than just games and videos. The Surface also comes with a case that doubles as protection and a fully functional keyboard! It does have some drawbacks however; this particular tab is double the price of the Nexus 7 at $499. You cannot download third party apps from the app store, but aside from that it is designed to compete against the iPad and the Samsung Galaxy Tab. If money is no option and you want a more complete computer experience, than the Microsoft Surface Windows 8 tablet will fulfill your every need.

Depending on how much you are willing to spend or the experience you are looking for, both products can be found on any cool gadget gift site ready to deliver as promised.
