Recommended Products
Things I genuinely recommend to clients — chosen for being easy to use and good value. I get asked "what should I buy?" all the time, so I've kept each description plain and honest so you can decide what suits you. These are Amazon affiliate links; if you buy through them I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you - as a small business that's really helpful to me.
TechSilver Large Print Keyboard
A full-size USB keyboard with bold, high-contrast lettering — much larger than standard. This link is for the black text on yellow background version, which many people find the easiest to read. A white-on-black option is also available on the same product page. No drivers needed; just plug it in. I've recommended this to several clients and it makes an immediate difference.
Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Gen 10 (14-inch)
A well-specified everyday laptop at a sensible price. 16 GB of RAM handles multiple tabs and programmes open at once without slowing down, and 512 GB of storage is plenty for most people's photos, documents, and downloads. Comes with Windows 11 pre-installed and charges via USB-C. I'm happy to help get it set up once it arrives.
HP Smart Tank 5107 All-in-One Printer
A colour all-in-one that prints, scans, and copies — and connects wirelessly, so you can print from your phone, tablet, or laptop without any cables. Crucially, it uses refillable ink tanks rather than expensive cartridges, and comes with enough ink in the box for up to three years of typical home use. A sensible long-term choice if you print regularly.
NOVOO 14-in-1 USB-C Docking Station
Plug one USB-C cable into your laptop and instantly get HDMI for a monitor, full-size USB ports, a wired internet connection, a headphone socket, and memory card slots — all at once. The laptop charges through the same cable, so there's no extra plug needed. A tidy way to turn a slim modern laptop into a proper desk setup.
65W USB-C Laptop Charger
A reliable spare or replacement USB-C laptop charger. Handy to keep one at work or in a bag, or to replace a lost or failed original. Compatible with many popular laptops including ASUS Chromebooks and Lenovo ThinkPads that charge via USB-C. Do check that your laptop charges at 65W or under before ordering.
RUXELY Right-Angle USB-C Extension Cable (1m)
A one-metre USB-C cable with a 90-degree connector — handy when a straight cable would stick out awkwardly from the side of a laptop or tablet, or when routing it neatly along the edge of a desk. Also useful for a bit of extra reach from a charger or docking station. Small and inexpensive, but surprisingly useful.
