Tech deals about this week, May 4-10

There are many useful law office tech items on sale this week at Staples.  For example, if you need a high-capacity external backup drive, the huge 500 GB Maxtor One Touch 4 is one sale for only $89.98.  I don't recall seeing a name-brand 500 GB external hard drive for less than $100 before.

Printers also abound at sale prices this week at Staples.  The dirt cheap Samsung ML-2510 is only $49.99 after a $50 Easy Rebate.  If you need an all-in-one laser printer, the Samsung SCX-4725FN is only $139.98 after a $140 Easy Rebate.  If a color laser is what you need, you can pick up the Samsung CLP-3000 for only $99.98 after a $150 easy rebate.

If you need a wireless router, they are also on sale this week.  One of the most popular routers of all time is the Linksys WRT54G.  The Speedboost version of that router, the WRT54GS, is on sale for only $29.98.  If you wanted to create a separate wireless network at your office for clients and guests to use without giving them access to your firm's network, you could pick up one of these for that purpose.  It is also useful if you need to expand the range of your wireless network, though this may require using third-party firmware on the router.
