10 Gifts for the Geek Who Has Everything
ScotteVest Jacket
Like everyone else, geeks own their share of jackets. However, most of these jackets just have a couple of pockets that aren’t large enough to hold a gadget as large as an iPad. Enter ScotteVest, a company that makes a line of high-tech jackets and vests that have plenty of large, internal pockets to keep all of your devices safe and dry, even in the worst weather.
Better still, most have an internal wire path that allows you to route your headphone wire up to your neck. LAPTOP Editor Mike Prospero was able to fit a ton of gadgets into the ScotteVest Sleeve 7.0 ($160) and its 23 pockets.

These are all great gift ideas, but I went a different direction for my Geek who has everything. I initially didn’t know what to get my son; I thought he already had every gadget known to man. Thankfully, one of my coworkers at DISH gave me the idea of getting a DISH Sling Adapter. Once I connect that to my DISH Hopper DVR, my son will be able to stream any live program or any recorded program from our DVR to his phone. He is a big pop culture TV and Movie buff, so I know he will love being able to access that stuff at any time.

About the keyboard, if the one receiving the gift is a gamer, don’t buy him/her a Unicomp Ultra Classic (it is not good for gaming since it can’t detect more than 2 key presses at the same time, it is great for typing though). A great keyboard for gaming and typing is a RK-9100 with Cherry Blue switches, or a Razer BlackWidow 2013 with Cherry Blue Switches. A great keyboard for skill-based games (but not so good for typing) is a Corsair Vengeance K60 with Cherry Red Switches.
