The Bottom Line: The Color LaserJet CP1215 is HP's entry-level printer built to serve small workgroups, but it suffers from frustratingly slow print speeds, a missing LCD screen, and other problems. Your $299 will go much further with the Dell 1320c, another color laser with faster print speeds for the same price.

The Bottom Line: The Dell SX2210 is a well-priced 16:9 monitor with high performance and enough features to satisfy most.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 22 in - Widescreen, 1920 x 1080, 0.248 mm, 2 ms

The Bottom Line: The Lenovo L215p is a high-performing, low-priced 16:9 monitor with some useful features.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 21.5 in - Widescreen, 1920 x 1080 / 60 Hz, 0.248 mm, 5 ms

The Bottom Line: The HP Officejet J4680 offers more features at a cheaper price than most of its competitors, and small offices and home professionals will appreciate its print quality as well. Unfortunately, its negatives far outweigh the positives: your office productivity will take a major hit because of sluggish output speeds and faulty paper handling. For a better rounded all-in-one printer, we recommend picking up the Lexmark x7675 Pro or investing an extra $90 in the HP Officejet J6480.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 1200 x 2400 dpi

The Bottom Line: The Explorer Mini mouse features Microsoft's new BlueTrack sensor technology, which makes for smooth scrolling across almost any surface. Travelers listen up: unless you're left-handed, we're sure you'll appreciate its portability, ease of use, and innovative design.

The Bottom Line: It skimps on a few features, but the Samsung SyncMaster P2370 is a stylish, low-priced 23-incher with very good performance.

The Bottom Line: The Dell G2210 offers stellar performance and an energy conscious interface at a low price.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 22 in - Widescreen, 1680 x 1050 / 60 Hz, 0.282 mm, 5 ms

The Bottom Line: The plain-looking Dell G2410 offers stellar performance and an energy conscious interface at a low price.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 24 in - Widescreen, 1920 x 1080 / 60 Hz, 0.277 mm, 5 ms

The Bottom Line: Although the HP CP2025n is rather slow to print black documents and is missing supplementary features such as USB-direct printing and wireless, the color laser shines in output quality, and the software holds your hand through a somewhat daunting learning curve. The CP2025n also has a high monthly duty-cycle, so we recommend it to anyone hunting for a workhorse printer to complement an equally diligent work environment.

The Bottom Line: Kensington resurrects a dying breed with the SlimBlade Trackball, but the potential of its unique shortcut buttons devolves into a mess of clumsy extra functions and awkward movements that restrict productivity.
