1. Nintendo Switch

The Nintendo Switch has been immensely popular ever since its launch and it looks like that popularity shows no signs of slowing down. Thanks to many big titles and a great new design, Nintendo’s latest console is on every kid’s wish list this holiday season. Probably for seasons to come as well.

It’s unlike the other consoles on the market. At home, the Nintendo Switch rests in the dock that connects the system to the TV and lets you play with family and friends in your living room. If you want to game on the go, just lift the Nintendo Switch from the dock and you can instantly transition to handheld mode to take it with you.

There are over a thousand games available on Nintendo Switch, so there’s a game for every occasion. Single player, multiplayer, it’s all here. The detachable Joy-Con controller allows for many play styles. One player can use a Joy-Con in each hand, two players can each take one, or you can use multiple Joy-Cons for larger player numbers.

With games like Super Mario Odyssey, Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Fortnite and many more, the Switch seems like a Christmas miracle for fun.

We really love the HyperX Cloud Revolver S Gaming Headset. Not only is it comfortable, but it also has excellent all-around sound and design. Those first two qualities are among the most important considerations when you are gaming for hours on end, while the latter is just icing on the cake. It features excellent 7.1-channel surround sound, through Dolby’s digital signal processor and features a detachable mic.

It isn’t often that you get this kind of sound and comfort in one headset. It also has a steel frame that makes this headset very durable, which again makes it worth the purchase, even though it’s a bit pricey comparatively. It was designed in Germany and it certainly shows. Everything from the outer earcup design to the red memory foam showing through on the inside commands your attention and catches your eye.

It also features next-generation directional 50mm drivers, USB Plug N Play Dolby Surround 7.1 compatible with PC, PS4, PS4 Pro and other devices with USB audio support. It’s also has a 3.5mm plug. It has you covered on nearly all platforms.

The detachable noise-cancellation microphone delivers clearer voice quality and reduced background noise, so you can expect quality in-game chats that don’t suck. It’s also TeamSpeak and Discord certified, and compatible with Skype and Mumble. This headset has you covered.

The HyperX Cloud Revolver S is one of the best gaming headsets out there at the moment. Even though it’s more expensive than the competition at $70.95, you really get your money’s worth.

7. MSI GS65 Stealth Thin Ultra Gaming Laptop

If you’re looking for the best gaming laptop that you can buy this year, you’ll want to turn your attention toward the more than capable MSI GS65 Stealth THIN Ultra-Thin Gaming Laptop. The GS65 Stealth Thin has everything you want in a gaming laptop. It’s all about convenience and portability in a form-factor that’s light and thin enough for your backpack and easy to carry if you don’t use a backpack.

This is a laptop that is powerful enough to play the latest games at high or max settings so it has everything we want for gaming. It features a sleek matte black aluminum body with gold accents, without being too flashy. At 18mm thick, and with 4.9mm thin bezels, it’s a tad smaller than most 15-inch laptops, which is not a bad thing at all.

Other features include an Intel Core i7-8750H, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q GPU, 16GB DDR4-2400MHz RAM, 15.6-inch FHD (1,920 x 1,080) wide-view 144Hz screen, 512GB M.2 SSD storage and it weighs just 4.14 lbs. This laptop also packs in a keyboard from SteelSeries that’s RGB-lit, a responsive touchpad, and a webcam.

That keyboard gives you some nice granular control over your keyboard illumination using the SteelSeries Engine 3. If you light lights on your keyboard this is going to be a real treat for you.

A laptop like this will let you spend countless hours gaming without any of the hangups that other rigs would suffer. It’s a sleek powerhouse that’s built for fun. At the moment you won’t find a better gaming laptop.

9. Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus

The Samsung Galaxy S9 is the best choice around for Android fans looking for a new smartphone. It’s a big phone that offers the very best smartphone features that users want.

The Super AMOLED 6.2-inch display is among the best around at the moment. You can expect great colors and a great viewing experience. You’ll also get a 3,500mAh battery in the Plus model and a camera with dual-aperture capability for some excellent pics.

Even 9 months out from its launch the S9 Plus remains one of the best phones out there. The big highlights here are its ability to take low-light photos and it’s big 6.2-inch curved ‘Infinity’ display. But that’s not all it offers. There’s also the rear dual-lens camera, which gives it some nice telephoto capabilities.

Also, the primary lens can capture super-slow-motion video at 960 frames per second. If that’s not your thing, you can use the 8MP front-facing camera to paint the scene with various AR Emoji props and masks, but honestly, that’s probably the least impressive thing about this phone, just a bonus.

If you are looking for a smartphone for someone special this Christmas, or for yourself, you can’t go wrong with the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus.
