To choose gifts to this day is always difficult (the girls will agree with us). And best option that always works is to try to give useful things that the recipient would have bought himself, but his hands did not reach. Today we tried to make a selection of just such devices.
Notebook-transformer KREZ Ninja
Tablet and laptop remain, perhaps, the most versatile gifts for any holiday. The surprise will be doubly pleasant if you give both devices at the same time. For example, a thin ultrabook-transformer KREZ Ninja can quickly turn into a tablet, which is convenient and at the table, and “weight”. Display with a diagonal of 11.6 inches reveals 360 degrees and locks in any position.
With its compact size and reasonable price tag “stuffing” of the transformer is very productive. It’s built based on the Quad-core Intel® Atom™ x5-Z8300 and equipped with 2 GB of RAM, and a full battery lasts for 10 hours.
By the way, this gift will be happy and active military personnel. Unlike thick notebook, KREZ Ninja can fit even in the officer’s tablet, and it weighs only 1.3 kg.
