Lexmark's X83 All-In-One should really be called the Most-In-One; it's a colour inkjet-based multifunction that combines a flatbed scanner, a printer, and a photocopier in one box.
Little cousin to Toshiba's new Tecra 9000, the AU$5280 Portégé 4000, announced last month, also comes with integrated connectivity for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless networks. But although Toshiba wrapped the Portégé 4000 in a smaller chassis with different components and stamped a lower price tag on it, some will still find it too expensive for their tastes. What you get for the money, though, is a lot of easy connectivity in a light package.
The LaCie PocketDrive is one of the most versatile portable hard drives around. It combines support for USB, which is standard in newer systems, and FireWire (IEEE 1394), the high-speed choice for power users.
If its elegant design, ultra portability and versatility doesn’t lure you in, then the superb performance of the Portégé 3480CT should. Suitable for intense use or for those on the go, this notebook is a standout in the portable PC market.
The 42-bit, 1,200-by-1,200 DPI Canon CanoScan N1220U (AU$299) commands attention for its slim, stylish design. The unit is unbeatable for scanning in tight, confined places and can even scan on its side via a plastic stand that holds the scanner upright.
If the thought of networking makes you cringe, don't worry; 3Com's wireless network solutions can save you the hassle of all those cables.
A new addition to Hewlett-Packard's fairly new HP 2000 series of business inkjets, the 2250tn proves to be an improvement. Its two stacked paper trays and large size show it means business and it also includes an internal printer-server card so you can hook it up to Ethernet, Token Ring, and LocalTalk networks.
My name is Palm and these are my favourite downloads. Though it's barely four years old, to millions of users the Palm handheld is more than an organiser: It's enlightenment. We've tossed our little black books and notepads. Said sayonara to planners crammed with business cards and Post-it notes. Our Palm gives us instant access to phone numbers, e-mail, memos, and a calendar. It's the glue that holds our lives together in the digital age.
