Finding the perfect gift for friends and family is hard, especially when it comes to tech. Whether you’re tech savvy or more of a luddite, with so many gadgets, games and accessories –– and so many online reviews –– it can get overwhelming. Luckily, Northeastern Global News did the hard work for you. After consulting experts in tech and gaming, these are the best gifts for the techie or gamer in your life. From the year’s hottest video games to hardware that will improve your work life to accessories that will spice up anyone’s laptop or PC, there is something for everyone.
It can be tempting to buy this year’s gadget of the moment, but how quickly will it be thrown into a drawer and never used again? This year, Northeastern’s array of tech experts recommended some more practical gifts that will probably get used every day of the new year. No matter who you’re buying a gift for, everyone could use an extra charge. Christo Wilson, a professor of computer science at Northeastern, recommends Anker’s upgraded three-in-one charger as the gift that keeps on charging, especially during the holidays.
