The HP Officejet Pro 8500 is one of the best office inkjet alternatives for under $350. Being feature packed, small businesses may be tempted to try this over the latest expensive laser printer.

Backup is a lot like flossing: no matter how frequently you do it, some expert is going to say you should be doing it better or more often. That's why HP's SimpleSave is among the easiest back-up drives to use.

Not quite the consumer/business crossover it aims to be, but there’s a lot to like in this clever mix of old-style business laptop and feature-packed modern machine

Yet another solid HP laser, but it’s beaten by ?rivals in virtually every key area.

Long-lasting battery, enough power to go, and a lightweight design: this has it all in a small package

Durable and laden with features, but let down by average performance and poor battery life

HP’s latest PC blends power, useful business features and a keen eye for detail

A solidly built thin client with a good hardware specification and features, including a classy remote management act

A solid, general-purpose pedestal server with good storage and a classy management act – plus it’s quiet as a mouse

A great printer for the road with a microscopic footprint, but average performance holds it back from greatness.

Lacklustre colour quality, but good speed and value for money make the K8600 a contender if you like blowing things up to A3 size

A tiny, fast personal laser printer with a temping price and great quality.

It isn’t cheap, but plenty of features and top quality propel this printer to the top of the pile

Beautiful double-sided prints, but it takes its time

A light and well-built business choice, but despite the low-voltage CPU the battery life disappoints
