This Deskjet seems like the ideal SOHO inkjet, but its crummy print quality and high ink costs negate its low price.

Kodak ESP 5250

Price: $109.99 - $159.99
Specs: Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 1200 dpi

The Bottom Line
Kodak's ESP 5250 multifunction printer isn't marred by the errors of its predecessors, but it still needs improvement before it can keep up with the competition. Right now, its pleasing photo quality and satisfactory output speed don't justify the $170 price tag and lack of features.

Dell ST2310

Price: $229.00 - $229.00
Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 23 in, 1920 x 1080, 0.266 mm

HP Photosmart Premium TouchSmart Web

Price: $297.00 - $452.14
Specs: Thermal inkjet, Fax / copier / printer / scanner, Mac, PC, 1 year warranty

The Bottom Line
Aside from the never-ending name, the HP Photosmart Premium TouchSmart Web All-in-One Printer looks good and prints high-quality photos at competitive speeds. We also appreciate the effort put into the downloadable applications for the interactive touch screen, but the innovation is offset by a hefty price tag. Unless Web connectivity and touch screens are a top priority, we recommend checking out HP's other multifunction printers, which still offer high performance but at a much lower cost.

Lexmark Platinum Pro 905

Price: $266.49 - $399.98
Specs: 5 years warranty

The Bottom Line
The Lexmark Platinum Pro 905 is a fully capable all-in-one business device, but its touch screen might throw a wrench in your workflow. The Smart Solutions widgets add virtual customization to the control panel, but we wish Lexmark had retained a few hard buttons as well. As the top dog in the Lexmark printer family, the Platinum Pro 905 does the job, but the HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless does it better.

Price: $309.95 - $349.98

The Bottom Line
The LG Flatron W2486L is a great LED-backlit monitor that few will choose over its main competitor.

The Dell W5300n is a good choice for a busy workgroup with a capable IT staff.

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 17 in - Widescreen, 1440 x 900, 0.255 mm, 8 ms

The Bottom Line
While the EVGA InterView is expensive and doesn't offer much for the recreational user, productivity-obsessed business types will be pleased with its features.

Logitech Speaker System Z320

Price: $48.78 - $60.77
Specs: 3.5 in x 7.8 in x 3.5 in, Active, 5 Watt

Specs: LCD display / TFT active matrix, 22 in - Widescreen, 1680 x 1050 / 60 Hz, 0.277 mm, 2 ms
