In the list below, you will find some products which I've had cause to recommend recently. They are all good products available at a great price. Their suitability for your specific needs is of course something you will need to judge for yourself, or discuss with me!
Laser printers If you are looking for a personal laser printer, all the following printers are excellent and represent great value for money. If you are not sure whether you want a laser or an inkjet printer, read my article on the subject first!
Laser All-in-OneThis is a much more sophisticated model than the ones above, and is only listed here because it is on offer at an amazingly good price at the moment (29/8/11). It is a printer/scanner/copier and fax in one, and has so many additional features compared to the models listed above that you would be best to have a look at the product page and read the details for yourself.
Portable hard disc (for data backup/transport purposes)For most users, a portable 500 GB hard drive is the best option in terms of portability, capacity and value for money.
Internal hybrid Hard discOK, this isn't for everyone, but for some people, this will provide an affordable way to speed up their hard disc drastically.
USB Flash DrivesAlso known as 'thumb drives', 'pen drives' and a host of other names, these can be used either for transporting files or as backup devices. They are usually slower and more expensive (per gigabyte) than hard discs, but much smaller and more resilient.
Cordless Mouse
Cordless mice are very convenient, particularly with laptops, but there is a host of issues to consider. Size and shape, accuracy, range, reliability and battery life, to name just a few. To make things worse, some mice are extraordinarily expensive, such as Apple's Magic Mouse which costs a whopping £59. Here are some good quality cordless mice at more reasonable prices.
Networkiing equipment Powerline adaptors allow you to extend the range of your network where WiFi is not appropriate (perhaps because of the distance, thickness of walls or interference from other access points). It does this by using your home's mains (i.e. power) wiring. Plug one adapter into the wall near the router and connect it to the router with a short network cable, and then plug in additional adapter(s) near each computer and, again, connect them to the PC using a regular network cable. You can make the connection more secure, by pressing the 'encrypt' (or 'secure') button on each adapter. This encrypts the connection which means that even if someone else has physical access to your power circuits (a neighbour perhaps), they would not be able to 'listen in' on your communications.
