In Pictures: The 2012 geek gadget gift guide

While others dream of sugarplums, here are a dozen gadgets that the true geek is hoping to see under the Christmas tree this year

Logitech Touchpad T650

Although we can't in good conscience recommend Windows 8, if you get Microsoft's newest operating system, do yourself a big favor and pick up the Touchpad T650 trackpad to go with it. That way, you're not uncomfortably reaching out to the screen in front of you -- a possible ergonomic risk. Instead, you use Windows 8's gestures on a desk surface, where your hands already are planted for the keyboard and mouse, similar to how a Mac user would use Apple's $69 Magic Trackpad.

Product: Logitech Touchpad T650 Price: $80
