You need not travel far to find the perfect Father’s Day gift. In fact, you can pretty much stay put at one website, MicrosoftStore.com.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad
If money is no object, the ASUS Zenbook UX31 laptop offers sleek design and great features, like 6 hours of battery power and Bang & Olufsen audio. Remember, if it’s Dad’s laptop, he gets to choose the music. Starts at $1,449, at the Microsoft Store.

Playful Dad
If dad is more of a gaming guy, the powerful, yet lightweight Dell Alienware M11x is up to the task. This state-of-the-art 11 inch laptop, with enhanced graphics, is perfect for the latest games. Starts at $899.

Calling all Dads
If you are looking for a gift for the father who valiantly offers his kids his phone upgrades, check out the latest AT&T phones.

The HTC TITAN II ($199 with a two-year contract and data plan has a simple to use touch screen, and huge LCD display so Dad can show off pictures and videos of the family vacation to his work buddies. The phone has a built-in GPS, so if Dad doesn’t like to ask for directions, he can check his phone and save a family road trip. At the Microsoft Store.

The super fast 4G Samsung Focus II ($49.99 with a two-year contract and data plan) lets Dad download apps quickly. Twitter and Linked are built in so Dad can stay connected, and XBOX Live lets him stay young.

Just remind Dad when he’s on the family vacation to disconnect for awhile and play with the kids!
