The HP (Hewlett-Packard) 1TB Personal Media Drive ($93.74 at HP Home & Home Office; the regular price is $125) uses a USB 2.0 high-speed connection to provide portable backups for your important files. With a terabyte of storage, you could back up your entire system and put it somewhere safe for disaster recovery. Or just use it as a convenient way to carry around your media library when you travel.

The Kodak EasyShare Z915 Black 10MP Digital Camera with 10X Optical Zoom and 2.5-inch LCD (available at Walmart.com for $119 with free shipping) has 32MB of internal memory and a Secure Digital storage card slot; it takes 640-by-480-pixel video at 30 frames per second. This is a great, cheap camera to give to the kids or bring on vacations--and it takes surprisingly good photos.

The Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500 Instant PDF Sheet-Fed Scanner for PC ($415.99 on Amazon with free shipping) can scan a 50-sheet stack of double-sided documents at a 600-by-600-dpi (dots per inch) resolution, in color, at 20 pages per minute. It can also turn those scans into PDFs with the included software (Adobe Acrobat 9, Rack2-Filer, and ABBYY FineReader). This is a very handy way to archive important documents and reduce paper clutter around your home or office. And it's much easier to find an electronic document than to search through stacks and boxes of papers!

This Acer Aspire notebook ($349.99 on NewEgg, a savings of $80) has a 15.6-inch screen, 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium, 3GB of DDR3 RAM, a 250GB hard disk, a DVD drive, a built-in HD Webcam, and Wi-Fi. This is a great back-to-school gift for students!
