Which printer is best for homeschooling? Q: The kids are starting up school again, but I'm teaching them from home. We can't get by without a printer anymore. What's the best one out there? A: Hands down, the Epson EcoTank. It's the printer I use, and I know you'll love it too. They have big, easy-to-fill tanks that come with a ridiculous amount of ink. You can print thousands of pages before you need to refill, and the ink is much more affordable than expensive cartridges. The quality is fabulous, too. Add the Epson EcoTank to your online shopping list at Best Buy, Office Depot, Office Max, Staples and at Epson.com/EcoTankKim. |
How do I choose computers for me and my staff? Q: Well, it finally happened. My old PC just can't handle my new work-from-home life. I run a small business, and I know a few of my employees are in the same boat. Where should I start picking new desktops? A: If you're not a total tech geek, figuring out what to spend your money on is seriously stressful. I could tell you a few models to check out (we use Dell Optiplex and Precision at Komando HQ), but really, you need help finding the right models for you and your business. Dell Technologies Advisors can guide you. They have financing options, too, and can help you get everything set up correctly. Call 877-ASK-DELL or visit Dell.com to find technology that can help your small business. |
Help, I need new headphones Q: My headphones are old and crackly. AirPods are so expensive, but I'm not sure what else to go with. Any suggestions? I don't want to pick up a $20 pair on Amazon and have them die on me. A: Good news! You can get high-quality wireless earbuds at a really great price. Raycon earbuds start at about half the cost of the other big-name earbuds on the market, and they sound just as amazing. They have a built-in microphone and connect to your phone via Bluetooth so you can make calls, too. No annoying wires to get in the way, and they last for hours and hours. Get 15% off your order at BuyRaycon.com/Kim. Use code KIM15. |
