Need a few tech gift ideas for this holiday season? Provided that you’ll content yourself for products released by either Microsoft or its partners, the Redmond company has a range of suggestions for you. Just make sure to watch the video embedded at the bottom of this article featuring Microsoft’s Ben Rudolph.

In just 4 minutes and 24 seconds, Rudolph showcases a collection of great tech gifts, including Windows laptops and PCs, Windows Phone 7 devices, and games for Kinect for Xbox 360.

Of course, users can always turn to the web or visit actual retail stores ahead of making their final decision on what to buy this holiday season, but the video is a great place to start if all you need is an idea for a gift.

“Hot on the heels of our Holiday PC Showcase events, I had the opportunity to do live-via-satellite interviews with over 20 national & regional TV and radio stations from all over the country,” Rudolph revealed.

“I talked with show hosts and news anchors about my thoughts on the hottest tech gifts for the holiday season, which not surprisingly include great Windows PCs like the Samsung QX410, Toshiba Portege r705, Sony VAIO J and Dell Inspiron duo, the brand-new lineup of Windows Phones, and of course, Kinect for Xbox 360.

“I also spent some time explaining how to make sense out of the huge variety of tech toys hitting the market this season by using Bing Shopping, and in particular, Visual Search.”
