Every year we make new resolutions regarding a lot of things but what about the gadgets or tech you should get this year? We are here to help you nail the perfect selection with some cool tech.
Rocksmith 2014
Who says New Year‘s Resolutions have to be all about losing weight or getting in shape? Why can‘t they be about combining how to play the guitar into an interactive video game, for instance? That's what Rocksmith 2014 is all about. We've tried it out in our office and think it justifies its claim with great aplomb, with a variety of popular songs to strum your guitar to. This game really gets it right better than most other games in its genre. If you're up for learning how to play a guitar in the new year, we highly recommend you grab hold of a copy of this game — it will make the whole process a lot faster and fun-filled.
Kindle Paperwhite
Admit it, you're not able to find the time to read for pleasure as you once used to. And buying books can either be too expensive or costly to the environment. What does one do to rekindle the love for reading in oneself? Get yourself a Kindle Paperwhite. No, seriously. It's quite cheap, can store over a 1000 ebooks, and lets you read in the dark. What's more, its surface feels just like paper -- textured and not smooth. A sleek, compact device to replace your physical books library. Yeah, that's pretty much it. A great start to the new year, if we may say so. What's better than getting back to reading, right?
Acer Chromebook C720
Tired of using Windows? Think Mac OS X just can't cut it for you? Bored being on Linux for too long? If you answered yes to anyone of those questions. it's time to take the leap to a whole new cloud computing environment —- Google’s Chrome OS. The Acer C720, an 11-inch Chromebook (laptop) with 2GB RAM, 16GB SSD, and all the functional ports and communication options is a great alternative platform-based computer to buy at its price. It's more than equipped to handle everything you throw at it and its OS. So, are you ready to make the switch to an OS that's 99 percent similar to working on a Chrome browser? Something to think about this new year's eh?
Goqii
We never said don't pay attention to your health this new year. How could we? We know very well that health related resolutions are the most popular ones in January every year -- they're often the most broken resolutions. But with Goqii's smartband, a personal tracker extraordinaire combine with a in-built fitness coach that can be tailored to your preferences, getting in shape (and staying in shape) are no longer a chore. And it isn’t terribly expensive, compared to opposing smartbands. Just check it out.
Fujifilm X30
If you aren't a photographer, it's time to pick up this creatively rewarding hobby this new year. Resolve to become better at the art of taking photos, and the way to do that is not with your smartphone camera -- oh no siree. Take a look at the Fuji X30, which sits at the crossroads of a professional and point-n-shoot camera. Not only is it incredibly light, but it packs quite a punch with its specs. Given Fujifilm's track record, we have no doubt the X30 (part of its X Series) is a good performer at its price. You know how it is with new year’s resolutions: being a good photographer is all about buying the right camera, and vice versa. Go get shutterbugged!
