Christmas is almost here… Do you have a few gifts still to find? What about presents for your tech savvy family members?
Here are four Windows 8 inspired holiday gift ideas.
But before we begin, remember that Windows 8 for electronic download is only $39.99 via windows.com.
Surface with Windows RT
With a widescreen HD display, Surface provides a larger view of your TV shows and movies. When you want to put it down, Surface’s integrated kickstand is there when you need it and disappears and doesn’t get in the way when you don’t.
There are two options – Touch Cover or Type Cover. Touch Cover is a unique and innovative pressure-sensitive keyboard that’s 3mm thin and doubles as a cover that protects your screen. It’s available in a variety of colors so people can express their personal style. Type Cover adds moving keys for a more traditional typing feel that’s only 2mm more.
Surface also comes with a full-size USB, enabling connectivity with literally hundreds of millions of devices, as well as a microSD card slot for adding almost limitless storage. Prices start at $499.

The IdeaPad Yoga 11 has 10+ hours of battery life so it can power your activities throughout the day. Prices start at $799.00-$899.99.
