Courtesy of the guys at Tech Toys Explained, they have given us permission to reproduce a series of their posts with loads of links to informational sites that will enable you to be an educated and informed Christmas shopper in the tech department. Like they say, never leave yourself at the mercy of the salespeople!
Everybody can’t be an expert on the latest technological gizmos.
Everybody (or somebody in everybody’s circle of family and friends) wants or needs or simply can not live without the latest technological gizmos.
Some of this stuff is just too darned expensive to go out and buy it without at least knowing a little something about it. It’s a bitter lesson to learn by going out, buying some expensive piece of electronics gear, and THEN finding out that it really isn’t quite what you wanted. It also sucks to find out you paid for bells and whistles you can’t even imagine ever having a use for, and that a less expensive model would have served you just as well, AFTER you’ve bought it.

These are not sites selling tech products, they are informational sites that can give you a good basic background knowledge. Specific model numbers referenced may not be the latest hot gadgets and some of this material may be a year or two old, but the information presented is solid and all of these sites also make outside resources readily available.Happy reading!
