Not a great deal or decent affordable technology atm, new iPhones and iPads are massively overpriced, so want neither, the new Xbox is like a half step to the next gen so it’s pointless.
Already got 4K tv.
So as you say just gonna be games really as it is a good couple months for games

I'm struggling this year to put an tech stuff on my Christmas list this year. I need suggestions also, nothing really sticks out to me. Not really interested in all the smart home stuff at the moment, like Alexa and smart thermostats.

So I'm a little stuck with ideas

My MacBook Air and iPad are both 5 years old and could do with replacing but nobody is buying me something that expensive!

Would like an iPhone X but can't really justify the cost.

Will get a bigger TV at some point but at the moment I'm renting and there's a decent enough LG there so no point rushing in to that.

My daughter wants an iPad, in the last 3 years she's had an iPod, laptop and iPhone.
Surely there's no need for her to have an iPad as well

Probably not if she has a phone and laptop.

Will just end up in a cupboard, get her a cheap tablet.

Glad I am not the only one struggling on the tech front! Thinking about the Samsung s3 watch but I cannot think of anything much more other than the ridiculously priced

Well folks......heres a novel idea for ya.....if you don't NEED anything....don't fucking buy anything!

pointless technology & consumerism for its own sake.....a waste of money, time & resources.....

You're just feeding the machine & the landfill.

Stop it.

I wouldn't buy anything for the sake of it, if I actually need things I get them at the time as I'm impatient :)

I'm in the Android camp but in fairness I can see the appeal of keeping it Apple so your workflow syncs and everything works under one account/cloud.

I still use Windows for the same reason, not that I'm a fan of it.
I'd like a phaser .... to go with last year's communicator.
Because smartphones still haven't been invented in the Star Trek universe!

New Xbox I'm thinking , forgot about it and believe it's out already ?
Yes it’s out. I don’t think I will bother with Xbox x or PS4 pro as 1) I don’t have a 4K tv and 2) the games won’t be 7nique to that platform just better clarity. It was just a way to get more money out of gamers. If my PS4 breaks then I will upgrade at that point. Still tempted by the PlayStation VR however
