Laser guided tech gifts for everyone this Christmas
For gamers…
Whether you're climbing pro-level leaderboards, exploring virtual worlds or just having fun racking up headshots, the right accessories link you seamlessly with your screen. This holiday season, Dell's presenting a carefully curated collection of tools and peripherals to delight casual and serious gamers alike.
The class-leading AW-510K keyboard shaves precious seconds off your reaction time and looks great doing it in Alienware's signature sleek style, with per-key RGB lighting for unrivaled customization options.
The specs are just as impressive, with a full array of Cherry MX Red mechanical switches, low profile for hair trigger actuation times, a comprehensive macro toolkit for pulling off complex commands at the press of a switch, and dedicated media keys so you can control your soundtrack without pausing the action.
The accompanying AW610-M mouse is one of the smoothest, most precise instruments you can buy, and features seven fully programmable buttons. Whether you go wired or wireless, it's the battlefield extension your right arm's been waiting for.
When you're coordinating killshots, communication's crucial. Logitech's Lightspeed gaming bundle pairs a high spec, dual wireless gaming headset and matching mouse.
Lightweight and comfortable, the G435 headset features both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and delivers deep, immersive sound with its 40mm drivers, compatible with a wide range of surround sound standards, from Dolby Atmos to Windows Sonic.
Partnered with the G305 ultra-fast wireless gaming mouse, you have a class leading combo delivered at a 50% saving over buying both separately.
For creators…
Never before have there been so many ways to create, share and express yourself. And never before has such high quality recording and broadcast gear been so easily available. Here are some top picks for the artist in everyone.
Capturing footage at 60 frames per second and up to 1080p HD quality, the Logitech StreamCam Plus can switch to vertical 9:16 footage, ideal for Instagram Reels and TikTok, with just a flick of the wrist. And with auto-focus and auto-exposure you're free to concentrate on your content.
The advanced accompanying Logitech Capture software rounds out the package, with everything you need to professionally edit your piece right there in the box.
The Blue Yeti X looks as good as it sounds, with timeless Art Deco design notes, and customizable LED lighting. Ideal for YouTube stars and podcasters alike, the mic's adaptable to a wide range of environments, from solo commentary to roundtable discussions.
Form follows function and all the controls you need are right at your fingertips. Logitech's 'For Creators' software package gives you all the tools you need to make the most of this class leading microphone (the weapon of choice for Twitch and YouTube star Dr Lupo).
Digital masterpieces need a portable, speedy, spacious and secure place to call home. The WD Passport drive ticks all these boxes and more in style, the 208 gram form factor sitting snugly in your hand.
The 4TB of storage will store more than 500 hours of HD video, password protected for security and compatible with Windows, Mac OS and even Google Chromebooks via speedy USB 3.2 connectivity. The bundled My Passport software can automatically back up all your critical files and it even comes in a range of colors.
For entrepreneurs…
Does your cousin have a side hustle? Is your grandma an undiscovered knitwear genius? Whatever and wherever you do what you do best, Dell can help you take care of the details and focus on making the most of your talent.
Security's a priority for us all, whether at home or in the office. Google's class-leading Nest Cam lets you keep eyes on your workspace 24/7, streaming 1080p HDR video to your phone via the ubiquitous Google Home app.
The sleek design comes in a choice of understated color schemes, and it’s flexible enough to put anywhere. You can even use the Nest cam to chat back and forth with remote colleagues, making this perfect for distributed offices.
Epson FastFoto Scanner Printer
Digitize photos and critical documents in moments with the Epson FastFoto system. Operating as fast as one photo per second, this'll make short work of even the most expansive paper archive.
Both sides of the photo or document will be automatically captured and uploaded to your Dropbox or Google Drive account, so you can access your photo library or document archive anywhere, even on your phone.
For students…
Studying is hard. So do what you can to make it as easy as possible for the students in your life with this welcome range of tech accessories. From tools to help students focus, to comprehensive productivity suites, and accessories designed to make studying simple, Dell has a great choice of gifts for anyone in a higher education situation.
You can't put a price on peace and quiet. Bose's top of the line wireless earbuds offer bespoke noise canceling technology, measuring the acoustics of your ear canal to deliver perfectly optimized performance.
Ideal for distraction free studying, wherever you are. And when it's time to relax, sound quality is blissfully crystal clear.
The wonderfully compact Canon Pixma all-in-one will happily fit into the snuggest of workspaces. At less than six inches high and just 15.9 inches wide, this is a miniature marvel as well as a powerful and flexible workhorse.
The 1.44-inch color screen makes scanning, copying and printing a breeze, and your new Canon is as comfortable chatting to Google Home and Alexa as it is to Internet of Things (IoT) devices, so you can explore its many tricks and features from the palm of your hand.
Microsoft Office Home & Student Edition
The original suite of office software is still the benchmark against which all its rivals are measured, and the most widely used standard across both home and office.
Well established productivity standards like Word, Excel and PowerPoint are here brought bang up to date with cutting edge features for seamless online collaboration and OneDrive integration for effortless and secure file backup.
