Gift ideas for Dads

posted by admin

Fathers Day is less than a month away and now is a great time to find some great ideas on the new tech gadgets for Dads. The hottest new items are netbooks that offer most of the functionality of laptops but just in a smaller package. For Fathers that are into surfing the web and staying in touch with their friends and family via popular sites like Facebook or Twitter the netbook is a great idea since it will give them the connectivity to the web and makes it very portable. Most of the netbooks that are available come with a 10″ screen and weigh just under 3 lbs. These present great options to those that want to get connected while they are traveling but are not really into the small phones that allow web browsing and texting.

At buy.com they have a wide selection of netbooks on sale like this Acer Aspire. This one idea that I am considering getting for my father since he loves to get online but is tethered to the PC and feels that laptops are too bulky and cost too much. This presents a great options since he and my mom can use it while they are traveling across the state or just around town. They can load some of their favorite programs and all their digital pictures of the kids and grandkids. The added bonus for my mom is that now she can have a 10″ picture frame for the digital pictures when they are not using it to surf the web.
