The Essential 5: the Style Conscious Geek (list/sponsored)
The phrase is work hard, play hard. However, we prefer look good, play hard. To perform this feat you’ll need more than the latest smartphone and a cool pair of shoes.
Nexus 7
Google’s newest tablet, the Nexus 7, is jam packed with features, along with computing power. It’s not too big, or too small thanks to its 7-inch screen. Android 4.0, or Ice Cream Sandwich, ships with the device, which is Google’s best so far.
Samsung Galaxy S3
The Samsung Galaxy S3 might be the best Android smartphone on the market today. And it’s not just the 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display. You can thank Google’s OS (Android 4.0), NFC, an ultra fast dual-core processor, a microSD card slot, and a body that measures just 8.6mm thick.
Diesel Jeans
Diesel makes some of the finest jeans on this green Earth. Their fit, style, and variety are unprecedented.
Canon S110
The S110 is Canon’s flagship point and shoot camera. The S100 was great, but this one adds WiFi and a touchscreen to the mix making it one of the best point and shoot cameras in the space. Other features include a 12-megapixel camera, their DIGIC 5 processor, a 24mm wide angle lens, and 5x optical zoom.
Jackspade Bags
Men have long relegated their overnight underwear and gear into backpacks and pullman suit cases. Hardly a stylish approach for any discerning man. Jackspade bags, while not cheap, are made with care, should last the test of time, and are fit for any man of any ilk.
