graduation day time of reflection time of hope and the time to really cash in on your parents before they realize what a total disappointment you'll be and for parents you're probably shopping for a graduation present right now and the question you should really be asking yourself is what can i buy them that they won't immediately pawn on eBay I'm Donald Bell and this top 5 i'm counting down the best tech gifts for grads starting off at number 5 the JBL charge bluetooth speaker this thing just came out a few weeks ago and it jumped right on to our list of the top five bluetooth speakers $150 gets you some big sound in a compact package 12 hours of rechargeable battery life and a USB port on the side for keeping your phone charged comes in a bunch of different colors which means you'll probably pick the one that your kids hate of course a Bluetooth speaker isn't going to do them much good if they're still getting by with a crappy phone so coming in at number four is the HTC One this is one of the most stylish android phones you can buy and it is crammed full of some serious tech quad core processor 1080p screen android 4.2 and some killer camera features especially if your grad is setting off on a job hunt you can't send them out there with that old iphone with the cracked screen give them a fresh start but if you really want to set them up proper get a new car a number three pick on this list and see 2013 subaru XV crosstrek your kids driving an old beater it's just a matter of time before they going to ask you for a reliable set of wheels and that's just what this is you can drive off the lot for 22 grand it's a safe car especially if you get them that safety cone orange color this one came in but when it comes to bang for your buck nothing is going to make them happier than a new TV number two on this list is the visio III 20 iao say 32 inch led-lcd TV that is a crazy good value at three hundred dollars it's also a smart TV so you get direct links into netflix you to hulu amazon even Skype excellent picture quality for the price if my 20s are any indication this is probably going to be the TV they own for the next 10 years finally for the number one tech gift for grads I'm saying laptop our editors pick here is the lenovo ideapad y500 whether your kid is graduating from high school or college chances are their current laptop is around four years old and after that last term paper they probably never want to see it again this one from the Lenovo is powerful enough to do anything you want whether it's games or video editing or patting your resume it will keep them going for at least another four years so there you have it five great pics for any young graduate or even the old ones for more suggestions check out our complete list over on cnet com I'm Donald Bell thanks for watching
