10 Last-Minute Holiday Tech Deals

Don't sweat your holiday shopping list; we've got some of technology's best last-minute bargains.



Some love the thrill of Black Friday. Others prefer to have the pressure of last-minute shopping breathing down their backs. Just because you blew off holiday shopping until a little over a week before Christmas, that doesn’t mean you don’t care—about bargains, anyway.

Well, you are in luck. In case you haven’t heard, the money being spent on consumer electronics is down for this season. That means that retailers will be looking to grab those last dollars before Santa slides down the chimney.

Whether you’re stumped for a great gift idea or just holding out for the best price possible, we have a few suggestions to stuff stockings and get you out of a jam.

1. Philips HTS3544 Home Theater System

During the holiday season, your house is probably buzzing with people and noise. This 5.1 home theater system can fill the void once those creatures stop stirring. The system comes with five super sharp, slick speakers, an 8-inch subwoofer, and an upconverting DVD player. Sure, it doesn’t have the dazzle of Blu-ray, but it’s still a nice price. Aside from a sharp picture, you can expect over 1,000 watts of sound to crank. Other features include a frequency response of 180-14000 Hz, equalizer settings based on content (jazz, cartoons, classic rock, etc.), and USB Direct support. It also includes an iPod dock.
