Some of the best local gadgets and tech deals

MyBroadband’s staff writer has gone on leave, which lead the rest of the crew with the momentous task of picking the best tech deals this festive season, and boy did they – there’s a lot to take in.

We’re sure he is sitting on a beach with his mates, sipping on a Pina Colada, and listening to The Beach Boys’ Kokomo.

Or maybe he’s meandering through the shopping malls, listening to Boney M’s Little Drummer Boy, looking for cool gifts for all his work colleagues who are still slaving away.

Wishful thinking from our their side, we guess.

Here are some of the best tech deals MyBroadband could find.
