Some things are worth waiting for. The year is almost over and all the gadgets that were rumored to be released will soon be on the market, finally. With just a couple of weeks until Black Friday, here are some of the top gadgets we all hope to get.
Asus GX500
This is not a common gaming laptop. It’s only 0.75 inches thick, weighs 4.85 pounds and has an intelligent dual-fan cooling system, making it the ultimate laptop for gamers on the go. As for the inside, the GX500 has an Intel Core i7 processor with the latest Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M graphics and a 15.6 inch screen that features VisualMaster display technology for better clarity. There is still no price information, but it is rumored to be around $1,900.

Cooks can now Stop eyeballing whenever they are trying to measure ingredients while cooking. Go pro, like a real chef, and weigh your ingredients properly. That’s where “Drop” comes in, the smart kitchen scale app can be connected wirelessly to your iPad. Once connected, the app will also help you with cooking, providing recipes and suggestions.

Jibo
We have all been expecting the moment when robots help you do the household chores like in the movies. Well, that time has come.
