Full details →Who the Ghost-Grid Magnetic Dry Erase Whiteboard 36x24 is for
Buy it if: Anyone wanting a magnetic board that will last years rather than months.
Avoid it if: Anyone leaving writing up for weeks at a time -- that ghosts any painted surface.
Who the Brother P-touch PTH110 Easy Portable Label Maker is for
Buy it if: Anyone labelling things that get handled, wet or sunlit, where unlaminated tape fails.
Avoid it if: Anyone making a handful of labels -- the tape economics do not justify the machine.
