    Posted December 11, 2012 - 2:54 pm

    The Iomega px2-300d is a two-bay NAS box that delivers very good performance, excellent backup and surveillance features, and a helpful LCD that reports on the unit's status (IP address, current time, storage remaining, and so on). Its EMC LifeLine operating system is also one of the more feature-rich ones in the industry. But you should buy this box bare—Iomega populates it with enterprise-class hard drives that jack up the price.

    Pick a pico projector: we review four of the best and brightest models

    Posted November 10, 2012 - 8:45 am

    Pico projectors—the tiniest of handheld projectors—continue to benefit from advances in miniaturization and power management. Although most pico projectors are still a tad too bulky for comfortable pocket portability, none of models in this round will weigh down a briefcase or purse by more than a pound; some weigh less than half that. Each one can throw a bright image on a wall or screen in an average-size room, even in the presence of lots of ambient light.

    Dymo LabelManager 500TS: a touchscreen labeler for business

    Posted July 21, 2012 - 12:03 am

    If you create only the occasional label for files or objects, you can probably get by with one of the many sub-$100 label printers on the market. But if your business-labeling needs are more complex--for instance, you require support for bar codes or for multiple users who use different types of labels--the Dymo LabelManager 500TS could justify its admittedly high price ($200 on Dymo's site as of July 19, 2012, though you can find it for significantly less at some online retailers).
