Sager is literally the worst laptop company I have ever worked with. Not only did my computer, the NP4881 break a whopping 5 times in the first year of ownership, but don't forget that you have to mail it in yourself every time, and pay for shipping. Not to mention that it now refuses to charge up a battery AND sager now refuses to service some of the parts of the machine, because they are, in fact, out of stock. STEER CLEAR OF SAGER. IF ITS ONE THING IVE LEARNED FROM MY EXPERIENCE ITS GO WITH A NAME BRAND AND GET THE EASE OF MIND THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO SERVICE YOUR COMPUTER TWO OR THREE YEARS DOWN THE ROAD.]]>Dec 6th 2007 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-for-son/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-for-son/

If they're the computer user I think most boys are, they're going to want to install games from time to time, be able to use some of the same programs that their friends do, and honestly prefer Windows to Linux, as far as I know, most boys aren't hackers.

The eeePC might be good for a geeky type person, that doesn't mind cheap, but most boys will seriously not want an eeePC.

That's the way I see it, in my opinion.]]>Dec 2nd 2007 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-for-son/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-for-son/Also, its perfect to get kids motivated to take notes in school, all my teachers love to see me with my little laptop taking notes, but the only problem is if the class gets too boring and you decide to "take notes" if you know what i mean.
This is good enough for a kid, as long as they aren't a hardcore gamer, but even if they are im sure they will have a system to make up for it]]>Dec 2nd 2007 3:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-for-son/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-for-son/Dec 2nd 2007 4:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-for-son/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-for-son/

Games are subjective, 3 games for you might be more for others.

I actually just made the decision a fews weeks ago to purchase a 360 over a ps3, I just didn't like that I only wanted about 3 games for the ps3.]]>Dec 2nd 2007 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-for-son/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-for-son/Dec 2nd 2007 7:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-for-son/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-for-son/Dec 2nd 2007 8:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-for-son/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-for-son/Dec 2nd 2007 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-for-son/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-for-son/

One of their favorite "art supplies" is a pottery wheel that uses air-drying clay (and makes a great goopy mess). Which is a lot cooler than most of these blinking beeping geegaws.

Dpjax, I'm afraid you're right. Terrorists and product safety lawsuits.

There are plenty of art-related gadgets, if you get past the notion that art is some separate subject outside of everything. A tablet PC? lynda.com training of Photoshop on a MacBook? Just a few ideas.

Gah, sorry I took the troll bait, but damn. I'm big into active things such as biking, climbing, swimming, etc, but you don't see me complaining that Engadget is listing relevant gift ideas to their own blog, that people come to read for that specific context. And I am also not complaining that the massively overpriced gadgets (like $3,000 electric bikes, for instance) aren't listed as "realistic" gifts. ]]>Dec 5th 2007 1:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-for-son/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-for-son/if its the same person you're recommending the Sansa Shaker for a Clix gen2 should be perfectly fine
