Best of Tech 2013

It’s been an amazing year in the tech world and we have more than a few favourite gadgets and tech items which we’ve spent time with over the last 12-months. There’s even a few free things on the list since there’s not always spare cash to splash around.

Below are are some of favourite things in key categories. Items (if more than one in a category) are not shown in any particular order. Your own personal preferences need to be considered too – for instance if you need to use a keyboard often with a tablet then choose one with a great keyboard option – or one with a microSD slot if you need to quickly upload photos often.

To get a fuller picture search for the episode/s where we discussed the product mentioned. We’ve taken price into consideration too – so some items are not top of the top of the line, but those representing the best overall value. Prices mentioned are ‘recommended retail’ for all except bargains category, but you can expect discounts on some consumer items of the usual Christmas and Boxing Day Sales (make sure you follow us on Twitter and Facebook to hear about the best specials).

* Gaming consoles – we found it impossible to pick a winner between the two hot new consoles on the market. Both have really impressive hardware but currently don’t have a massive selection of games. While the Xbox One has the benefit of an new Full HD Kinect camera that is also incredible for Skype video calling, the PlayStation 4 appears to be selling better and this may lead to a better gaming catalogue and more of your friends using one (which makes playing online more fun).
