Logitech Speaker Stand for iPad
€49.99
Logitech’s Speaker Stand for the iPad is a bit of an all-rounder. It will dock your iPad securely so you can watch it without having to hold it; it has built in speakers to amplify your music and movies; and it charges your iPad while it’s docked. That’s pretty much all you want from a stand like this.
The base is sturdy so it’s unlikely to tip over, and volume buttons are located on the front of the base. The arm rotates to hold the iPad in portrait or landscape mode, and you can change the angle of it too. Best of all, it’s reasonably priced.

HP Laserjet Pro 200 Colour MFP M275nw
From €339
The HP Laserjet Pro 200 is not aimed at your average home user. It’s a multifunction laser printer and copier with HP’s TopShot 3D scanning built in so it’s perfect for small offices or home workers – even regular eBay sellers if you need decent 360-degree images of your products.
It works through a camera built into a hinged arm on the scanner, which helps capture an all-round image of a small object, taking a total of six images per scan to produce glare-free, shadow-free images that also have accurate colour representation.
And it will do the regular office functions – scan, copy and print – in a reasonably sized machine.
HyperDrive iFlashDrive 16gb
€108
Transferring data to or from an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch has just been made much simpler. The HyperDrive iFlashDrive is a small 16gb flash device that comes with two connectors – one that plugs into a regular USB connection and a second 30-pin connector that is compatible with the aforementioned iOS devices.
Team it up with a free app and you can drag and drop files to your heart’s content, transferring files, folders, backing-up contacts and importing photos without ever having to touch iTunes or have an Internet connection. It also works as a regular USB flash drive even when your iOS device is nowhere in sight, with 8gb and 32gb versions.
