Dads and Grads Gift GuideWe've taken some of our most popular categories and come up with options for those on a budget, as well as those who can spend a bit more.

It's graduation season. That means boys and girls of all ages are set to move up, move out, and/or move on. Of course, this also means it's time to celebrate said graduates. It's time to start searching for that perfect gift. So, what's on the shopping list? A new laptop that can handle their schoolwork? A smartphone so they can call home every Sunday? Maybe both?

We've put together our own little list to help you make your tech gift decisions for your favorite graduate. We've taken some of our most popular categories and come up with options for those on a budget (steals), as well as those who can spend a bit more (splurges). Now folks, remember, when it comes to tech, "steals" is an operative word. That said we've tried to come up with highly-rated products at both ends of the pricing spectrum.
