Carry a laptop and a place to put it
With the Tabletote, you can fit both your laptop and a “desk” in your briefcase. When you’re ready to work, the mobile workstation’s telescopic legs can be extended to create a table 13 inches to 30 inches high, and its work surface can be extended to a length of 22 inches with a fixed width of 10.5 inches, giving you room for both a laptop and a mouse or portable projector. When folded up, the Tabletote is about an inch thick, making it small enough to carry with your laptop. It costs $50 and ships with a document holder and mouse pad.

Savor your sounds without sharing
Your home theater sounds great to you, but perhaps not so great to napping family members or cranky neighbors. Panasonic solves the problem with a pair of wireless headphones that can reproduce two-channel stereo, 5.1-channel DTS surround sound, Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic II via infrared digital audio signals sent from the receiver. The headphones automatically turn on when you place them on your head and turn off when you remove them, conserving power in their built-in rechargeable battery. The RP-WH5000 Wireless Home Theater Headphones can provide 20 hours of listening after a full charge and have a range of up to 30 feet. Cost: $250.
