4. Plantronics Voyager Pro
Plantronics Voyager Pro, $99.99
Plantronics’ latest Bluetooth headset is all business. That’s why it makes a perfect gift for a recent grad who is poised to become a hardworking dealmaker. People who talk on Bluetooth headsets much of the day (and it is a necessity for many lines of work) tend to agree that those cutesy, stylish Bluetooth headsets can be unreliable, uncomfortable, and unintelligible. The Voyager Pro’s style cues hearken back to the days when all hands-free headsets had the allure of bulky hearing aids and made the wearers look like telemarketers, but don’t be dissuaded—this thing works better than the waifish headsets that are popular today.
The Voyager Pro hooks its big battery-holding earpiece behind your year, and sticks a lengthy boom toward (but not touching) your mouth–but it is comfortable. Plantronics has done plenty of studies to account for nearly every ear size and shape. The unit ships with multiple earbud tips, as well. Your actual ear cartilage bears much of the strain, rather than your inner ear, which typically feels fatigued after wearing an in-ear headset. And that big battery piece? It translates into unrelenting talk time (Plantronics expects users to get 6.5 hours).
This headset’s biggest draw is Plantronics’ AudioIQ brand of noise-canceling technology. No matter where your graduate is standing, he can be sure to be heard–and to hear the other half of the conversation.

A bit late. Everyone I know has graduated.
No high-school school or middle school years have ended, and no quarter-system universities have finished the semester yet. Semester system universities held graduation, mostly, last week. I don't think it is too late to be thinking about graduation gifts at all.

No, ur wrong, everyone I know graduated 5 years ago. Duh.
My graduation gift is $1000 rent with a tenant who will do her best to kick me out.
Can I has your gift instead?
Here are my thoughts.
On the AIO PC: It's nothing more than a laptop without a battery. Nothing can be upgraded. Consider getting a Laptop instead. On the plus side, it is stylish.
On the HP Printer (from personal experience): Every HP printer I've used have had horrible problems loading paper. Consider Lexmark or Canon.
On the Panasonic Camera: Nikon's Coolpix and Canon's Powershot can be found at similar prices and are (generally) better cameras.
I must admit though, the N10Jc looks pretty cool

Hey Quantumrand,
Thanks for you advice. What if I asked for you to find me a computere under $500 with a tiny footprint (no tower) and a bigger than 17-inch screen. Would you be able to do that? That's where I think the cheapie AIOs come into play.

Better as a wrist support pad. I have 3 PC's and I can only use this one 1 of the them. Really? I have to buy 3 separate Replicas for my PC's? In this economy? No thanks

There is a multi-PC version of the Seagate Replica, we just didn't review it: http://shop.seagate.com/store/sgat [...] .125882200
All I know is that the best gift buy would be great if I wasn't worried about other luxuries such as food, clothing, & shelter.
