And since you’ll be using that notebook for a while, it better be a mighty capable one. Whether you’re shopping for a lucky relative or friend or perusing for yourself, this shortlist of laptops and Ultrabooks is a great place to start. Our resident laptop expert Dana Wollman, along with others from the Engadget team, break down the best systems for all budgets.

Who doesn’t want a new smartphone? Even if you love the handset in your pocket, there’s bound to be a newer, higher-specced device calling your name.

Weighing your e-reader options isn’t as difficult as, say, deciding on a new smartphone. There are fewer models to sift through, for one, and your allegiance to Amazon or B&N could further narrow things down. Still, you have a range of options in every camp — from barebones devices meant for reading and nothing else to full-fledged tablets with the higher-end specs to match. Below, we make the case for some of our top picks.
We’re not sure how many of you will be lucky enough to receive a spanking new notebook for the holidays, but just in case you’ve got one on your list (or are shopping for someone else), we’ve got a newly updated laptop buyer’s guide full of suggestions. Whether it’s a convertible Ultrabook you’re looking for, or a regular Ultrabook, or maybe a gaming machine, we’re here to be of service.
