Tech Gifts Beautiful Inside and Out



Samsung BD-P4600 Blu-ray Player
Most DVD players don't care how they look, with boring black boxes the rule. Not this Samsung Blu-ray model, whose case is a lot more attractive than its name, the BD-P4600. The rounded corners and 1.5-inch-deep case wrap a player that can stream Netflix and Blockbuster videos and Pandora music-and pump out 1080p Blu-ray movies.


Dell Adamo XPS
Dell flew into the teeth of the recession with new laptops that are sophisticated in styling and are, the company says, the world's thinnest. Even opening the slim Adamo XPS is slick, with a finger swipe popping the halves apart. Then the screen starts swinging on an unusual hinge that also lifts the main case for extra cooling.
 

 Panasonic SC-ZT1 Wireless Home Theater
A wireless home theater system seems impressive enough. But these Panasonic speakers are so superthin that they almost disappear. Each of the four SC-ZT1 spindles holds four speakers and a subwoofer, enabling the combination to create a roomful of sound that mimics a 7.1 system
 


Samsung Pebble
Rocks are a popular theme with this year's beauty tech. The Samsung Pebble's case looks like it was sculpted in a flowing stream and comes in a stack of colors. The 1.5-inch-wide Pebble looks natural hanging from a neck on its lanyardlike earbuds. No screen means limited control over playback, but buttons allow switching between shuffle mode and a playlist.
