Tech-Savvy Gifts For Dads And Grads

Posted: 9/7/2011

Shopping for your Dad or grad doesn’t have to be difficult with the wide range of new tech products available.

(NAPSI)—All dads and grads want to have the coolest gadgets, but shopping for tech can be intimidating, with new innovations released every day. Here’s a quick guide to some of the latest and most essential tech on the market.

Powerful Beats

With the digital music revolution, computers are becoming stereos, and everyone needs a killer sound system. HP and Interscope collaborated to re-engineer and enhance the PC audio experience, resulting in Beats Audio. This unique, high-performance audio solution, developed by HP and Beats™ by Dr. Dre™, offers users the optimal sound experience—the way the artist intended it. Beats Audio technology is available on HP computers, including the ENVY 14 laptop and all-in-one TouchSmart 610 desktop.

Beats Audio isn’t just for music. Dads and grads can take advantage of the premium audio while watching movies and gaming. The ENVY 14 is the perfect size for viewing an action flick when traveling, and the TouchSmart 610 hooks up to an Xbox or PlayStation for dynamic sound while gaming. Throw in a DVD of “True Grit” or the new “Green Lantern” video game for the ultimate gift package.

Computer Cooling

One of the most common complaints about laptops is that they get too warm, and no one wants a hot lap. HP solves the issue with its exclusive CoolSense Technology, which automatically adjusts a computer’s temperature according to the surface it’s on. With a built-in sensor, CoolSense detects when a laptop is on a user’s lap and starts to automatically cool down the machine. CoolSense technology is featured on HP laptops such as the Pavilion dm1 and ENVY 14.

Wi-Fi Mice

Wireless computer mice alleviated the need for pesky, tangled cords, but technology has gone one step further, eliminating the need for even a USB dongle. An industry first, the HP Wi-Fi Mobile Mouse connects directly to a computer’s Wi-Fi receiver in an easy, one-time installation. Busy students and hardworking dads no longer have to worry about leaving their dongle connection at home or using up their USB ports quickly. This mouse also offers distance and longevity, usable from up to 30 feet away and with a battery life of nine months.
