Christmas would not be Christmas without us burning a few movies off the TV which means we need a DVD drive that’s fast, reliable and more than does the job.

DVD drives have largely replaced CD-Rom, CD-R and CD-RW drives in all but a few entry-level PCs and notebooks. Many systems still offer DVD-Rom drives as secondary drives – used for playback of discs only – while a growing number have a DVD writer or rewriter for burning your own DVDs as the main system drive.

DVD burners can be divided into internal and external drives. Internal drives are cheaper than their external counterparts, but require a level of knowledge so you can install them yourself. You can opt for one of the external offerings which can be hooked up simply via USB2 or Firewire.

Most drives are multi-format, meaning they can write to all key media types, so make sure yours supports DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R and DVD-RW discs. Newer double and dual-layer drives can write to new discs which can store 8.5GB
versus the 4.7GB capacity of existing discs. This is useful for backing up your DVD movie collection or chunks of your hard drive on a single disc.

The dual-layer drives cost little more than single-layer drives, so are a good investment. The same cannot be said for the cost of dual-layer discs though. At Thriftycomputer we have some great bargains in DVD read-writer drives at incredible prices.

Christmas is a time of year when our spending on electronics counts the most. Without trying too hard spending on gadgets adds up fast. Some of the most popular gadgets we shell out on are:

Cell phones - we want them sleek, cool and full of functionality. From LG to Nokia and everything in between. We need them to be unlocked (so we can choose the carrier) and as affordable as possible so they do not break the bank.

Bluetooth Headsets - Excellent for sound quality on the move. These are good for those who want a hand-free approach to their cell phone call options and a futuristic look to their style. Choose from a variety of options from really low-cost to slightly higher cost ones. Whichever one you decide to go for remember you want a Bluetooth headset that’s light to carry around on your ear, robust, reliable with great fidelity and the kind of battery life that would make Jack Bauer’s appear to be for beginners.

Gamepads & Joysticks - Christmas would simply not be the same without them. As the festive season comes it is time to take to the digital world with a vengeance and enter worlds where whole armies rule and entire civilizations are lain to waste. For that to happen however you can’t have our gamepad or joystick letting you down at a crucial moment. With some of the industry leaders at hand Thriftycomputer can ensure that you will have a splendid gaming Christmas without fearing your equipment will not live up to your skills.

Speakers - Christmas is also a time for music and here you need speakers that look good, produce the perfect sound and still deliver on price. Here you are spoilt for choice. Digital technology has delivered big sound in small packages and you can get anything from surround sound Logitech systems to great speakers for your laptop.

Webcams - finally, in our digital world there is no need to be isolated when at the click of a button you can visually connect with people from all over the world, right from your laptop or PC. There are many models to choose from and, as you’d expect from the leading online retailer in cost-effective electronics, the prices are far below what you’ll find elsewhere.

Blackberry used to be the must-have device of choice for yuppies, execs on the move and office warriors who could not bear to be away from their email but this is no longer the case, particularly when you really need to feel that you have the office connectivity even when you are away from your desk.

The Blackberry Pearl 8100 is a legendary phone in its own right combining the sleek, elegant lines of a cell phone with the functionality that has given Blackberry complete control of the business office crowd.

Until now the few detrimental things you could say about a Blackberry had a lot to do with its size (that QWERTY keyboard took some getting used to and made the phone unusually large and wide) and the fact that the moment you got one you were shackled either to a company or a single carrier whose tariffs you did not agree with.

This is where we come in. At Thriftycomputer we are experts at budget-busting solutions that give you maximum freedom with your purchases. This is why each of our Blackebrry cell phones is unlocked, freeing you from the tyranny of the locked cell phone and allowing you to choose the carrier of your choice when it comes to how much you want to pay.

If you do have a Blackberry cell phone and want to know how to unlock it you can follow our step-by-step-guide on How to unlock your Blackberry phone.

As we are heading towards Christmas and there is a need to stretch every single dollar Thriftycomputer bargains in electronics and PC accessories, MP3 players and, of course, unlocked cell phones.

Because we try hard to put value for money in everything we sell all you need to do is go through our merchandise and pick up the perfect Christmas present for yourself or someone you love.
