Thanksgiving is already here and Christmas is just around the corner. We know you’ve been waiting weeks for it and it's finally here - our top 5 favorite tech gifts of 2014!   1. iPhone 6

The new and improved iPhone 6 or 6+… it’s “bigger than bigger.” Apple has done it yet again by offering us the biggest and thinnest iPhone yet, equipped with a new Retina HD display. The iPhone 6 display measures at 4.7 inches while the iPhone 6+ display measures at 5.5 inches. The new generation of iPhones offers a new A8 chip and an M8 motion coprocessor. The iPhone 6 starts at $199, and the iPhone 6+ starts at $299.

             

2. Galaxy Note 4

Don’t like the idea of the new iPhone? You should check out the new Galaxy Note 4. The display measures at 5.7 inches and offers a Quad HD Super AMOLED display. The new advanced S pen improves your digital handwriting and allows you to copy and paste text from any page to create more seamless content- you can even view multiple applications at once. This phablet retails at $299.

                   

3. iPad Air 2

The new iPad weighs less than a pound. The updated display fused three layers into one simple layer, providing you with a better viewing experience equipped with an anti-reflective coating. While the iPad Air 2 is thinner, don’t let that fool you. This little tablet gives you 10-hours of battery life. Want to know what’s even better? The Wi-Fi is 2x faster than previous generations. The iPad Air 2 retails at $499.

 

                 

4. Galaxy Tablet S

The tablet offers a 10.5-inch display with twice the resolution of an HDTV and auto adjusting brightness levels. The Galaxy Tablet S offers multiple users to create a personalized and private experience. Like the Galaxy Note 4, the tablet allows you to view multiple applications at once. The best feature is it's ultra power saving mode. The screen changes to black and white and other apps not in use are closed, so you can still use your device. The tablet retails at $499.

                       

5. Nexus 9

The Nexus 9 tablet features a soft grip back, front-facing HTC BoomSound™ speakers, and a 64 bit processor. The Nexus 9 runs the latest Android software - Android 5.0 Lollipop.
