I prefer the first one as well, it looks much more modern - whereas the second one looks more old school and dated. Also I think the first one would scale to a variety of smaller sizes more successfully than the second one. Plus when I think of "gadget's" these days, I would prefer to see more modern devices - laptops have been around for decades.
A third option would be that you could possibly work the first logo into a "shield" shape as well, that might look good too.
