BEST printer The OKI C3530 let’s you do it all—print, scan, and fax. And, unlike most all-in-one machines, this one is small enough to fit on a desk! $599, with educational pricing available.

BEST projector With more than double the output of your typical classroom projector, the NEC NP4100 will light up even the biggest room. Whether you’re looking at mitochondria or mega-planets, students won’t miss a thing. $5,500.

BEST netbook These slim Go Netbooks have pebbled keyboards for easier typing. Plus, extended battery life (nine hours!) for teachers on the go. $480.

 

BEST surround sound With a USB interface, the StudioDock 3i lets you record, mix, and play your own music. Use this system with your iPod, too; just drop it into the dock for an instant soundtrack to any lesson. $150.

BEST for busy classrooms NComputing virtual desktops let up to 11 students share one PC, using their own keyboard and screen (not included), settings, and files. $70 per seat.
