Buyer's guide to home office gadgets
Before you buy...
1) Pimp your PC
Once you have your PC set up and ready to go, the next step to hi-tech wizardry is to kit yourself out with some smart accessories for your office. Your fingers will thank you for investing in Logitech's comfy, wireless solar-powered keyboard. Then you'll need a mouse, one that works on any surface (the Microsoft Arc touch is also designed to fold flat). Consider top-quality webcams for superior video conferencing, label making for your WI moments, and printers that can scan or print in seconds. If you're wary of setting up technology, look for 'plug and play' (PnP) devices which attach to your computer via a USB port.
2) Check out new technology
How about a smart pen that records everything you write and hear as digital files, ready to play back your notes as a flash file or a PDF on your computer. A 'cloud' device makes all the files on your PC acessible over the internet. Then there are intelligent storage devices that back up and organise automatically. Even simple gadgets like a shredder and a multi-port charger can cut the time you spend in the office.
