HWM Singapore|December 2019
‘Tis the season to be giving, but fret not, we’re here to help with a gift guide for that very specific type of techie in your life.
There's Something For Everyone (If You Happen To Fall Into This Particular Group Of People)

THE GRUMPY DAD

The Grumpy dad has found out he's no longer hip (except for a hip replacement) and even his dad bod is out of style. where he used to be cutting trend, he is now left behind and wishes technology could help him keep better control of his work, life and his family.

Can technology help him keep track of his kids online and spy on who they hang out with? can it connect him to his hobbies and help him relive his glory days?

IN HIS POCKET

XIAOMI NOTE 8

Android will only do for the man who doesn’t quite understand how everything works but loves the free games and apps. besides, pokemon go is still playable and is something the whole family can play together. For a device there is none better than the Xiaomi Note 8.

ON THE GO LENOVO THINKPAD X1 CARBON

it’s not the latest, but like him, it keeps working. nothing fancy, just a simple device provided by work to get the job done. younger colleagues may demand a fancy new MacBook but the sturdiness and brick-like quality of his workhorse can’t be denied. besides, the red button brings back memories of IBM.

ANKER POWERCORE SELECT 10000MAH PORTABLE POWERBANK WITH DUAL 12W OUTPUT PORTS

Simple and with enough USB ports to keep his devices powered, the Anker powercore select 10000mah portable power bank has enough juice to power even high-end smartphones like the Samsung galaxy s10 and the iPhone Xs more than twice over. all of the power to keep your mobile devices going in a package that can still fit into a pocket.

ASUS ROG SWIFT PG35VQ

Of Embracing Escapism And Confronting Reality

As you embark on the journey that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth offers, there’s a moment that distinctly shifts the narrative’s atmosphere: Aerith pauses to take in the in-game scenery with a sense of wonder, which stood in stark contrast to the earlier parts of the game, where the flower girl, alongside other FFVII key companions such as Cloud and Tifa, navigates the cramped slums and towering corporate skyscrapers of Midgar.
