To help you find something at different price points, here are 11 gift ideas, ranging in price from under $3 to just under $400 at the time of this writing. How about we make this a collaborative post? I’m always searching for gift ideas, so when you’re done checking out the list, give us your gift suggestions in the comments.

As a not-so-closet techie (or tech-geek, if you will), I find myself instantly attracted to all things new and shiny — even when the polish is not altogether there yet.

And so here is my take on the current state and usability of the Google Chrome Operating System and how to check it out for yourself…
