Some sellers are pricing this hard drive at over $100. Just yesterday, I bought one from another seller for $80. Now it's reduced to $50. Ain't that always how it goes? Don't miss out on this handy solution for your non-portable data storage needs.

4GB Zune
(Credit: CNET Networks)OfficeMax, BuyDig, and other sellers are offering Microsoft's MP3 player at around a 30 percent discount this week. It's the size of a cigarette lighter, it's easy to use, and it's particularly well-priced at the moment. The bottom line on this item, from CNET Reviews' analysis: "While the full-size Zune is a better value, the solid-state flash memory used in the 4GB and 8GB versions make them better suited for physically active (or clumsy) users."

Magellan Maestro 3100 GPS
(Credit: CNET Networks)Santa himself uses a bit more advanced version, but this should get you over the river and through the woods to Grandma's house with no problem. The Maestro 3100 is a basic portable GPS system, offered today at a 50 percent price reduction--and free shipping--at BuyDig. This unit's sleek simplicity is one of its best assets, since you'll do all your interface on the touch screen, never getting distracted from the road by trying to figure out which of several buttons to push. The 3.5-inch screen, though not the largest on the market, is crisp, bright, and easy to read.

For those who are iPhoneless, for moral or fiscal reasons, wouldn't it be cool to use the same headset for talking on the phone and listening to music? And what if it muted the music for the duration of the call? You wouldn't have to switch devices when you're walking along engrossed in the Brandenburg Concerti and your broker calls to say sell, sell, sell! You won't have to undo one set of headphones and reload a second pair just because your mamita calls you in the midst of Fat Joe's 1993 classic, "Shorty's Gotta Fat A**."
This, my friends, is technology at its most socially important.
Today Woot is offering this modern marvel at an 80 percent discount. See below for details.

HK SoundSticks II PC speakers
(Credit: CNET Networks)If you're like a lot of urbanites, your PC or laptop is also your media center, home theater, and audio system. If your apartment is 120 square feet and you're paying $1300 a month in rent (hello San Francisco!), you want to save space and dollars, so an array of conventional speakers may not be an option for full-on audiophilic indulgence.
Harman Kardon to the rescue. The HK SoundSticks are legendary among computerists, design fans, and aficionados of ultraclear sound. And with this "II" version, they work equally well with a PC or a Mac. You'll sacrifice a teeny bit of the deepest bass, but other than that, these are among the top performers in small-size sound.
Several online sellers have them deeply discounted from their original price of around $200. We picked the lowest for your purchasing pleasure.
