With the holidays fast approaching you might be wondering what gift to get that special techie in your life. While tablets like the iPad are in high demand this year, that doesn’t mean that giving laptops as gifts would mean the equivalent of getting coal in the Christmas stocking.

Holiday Gift Ideas: Top 5 Great Laptops To Select
For the Student
The Asus X32A is a pretty decent laptop for the col-
lege bound student. It has a 13.3 inch display, Celeron
1.2Ghz processor, 3Gb DDR3 RAM and a 320 Gb hard
drive. The display is excellent for long study periods
or just plain surfing the internet. It also comes with
a Linux-based operating system that you can switch
to if you find the Windows 7 system too heavy for
the laptop to handle. The Linux system will boost
the battery life and can actually have an “instant
on” feature. For the price of 354 Euros or $476, it’s
not hard to consider this the perfect gift for your
hard working scholar.
For the Frequent Flyer
Frequent travelers will want a laptop that is slim,
durable but still has the computing power for basic
tasks like document editing and surfing the inter-
net. If you’re willing to spend the money the Apple
MacBook Air is the fastest ultraportable laptop you
can find. The entry level $999 11-inch MacBook Air
is affordable but it has a 2 1.6GHz dual-core Intel
Core i5, 2Gb of RAM and 64 Gb of storage. It also
has the new OS X Lion pre-installed. If you don’t
find the limited storage a hindrance, then this is
