The essential checklist for setting up a home office

A home office needs more than just a chair and desk. What gadgets do you really need and which can be made obsolete? Here are the essentials to get you working comfortably.

Having a dedicated workspace or a versatile study at home is very common. Whether you’re setting one up for yourself or for your little ones to get their homework done, there are essentials to make the room as productive and efficient as possible.

But what tech and gadgets do you really need? We’ve got the checklist you need to get your home office up and running.

A computer and its accessories

This one is fairly obvious, but it all starts with the computer you opt for. A desktop is great for having a larger monitor in a permanent work station. A laptop is ideal for those who plan on taking their work outside the dedicated office space. If you can’t decide, why not have both? 😉

Plugging in a laptop into an external monitor is a popular option for those who use multiple programs at once and would like the convenience of having two screens to work between

It’s simple to set up most laptops and monitors by connecting them with an HDMI cable. You can always ask an expert at a Bing Lee store for more information!

You might even want to opt for a curved monitor for optimised viewing. The clip below is a preview of the amazing Samsung 32″ Curved Monitor.

A printer and ink

Choosing a type of printer depends on whether you’re after the basics (printing) or if you’re looking for an all-in-one design that can copy, print and scan. You can, of course, buy a separate scanner but it is good to note how much desk space you want to occupy.

Another thing to remember is to always have extra ink cartridges and toners in storage. The worst thing is wanting to print out a document only to find that there’s no ink left!

For a busy home office that needs professional, high-quality prints, find out why the jam-free Epson WorkForce WF-7620 could be the printer for you! Just hit play on the clip.

A backup hard drive

This one is vital. Computers sometimes fail us and can result in literal tears. Saving all your important documents, audio, images and video regularly on a backup hard drive is a small habit that can prevent big hassle. Trust us.

Portable SSD storage is a good option for backing up files because it’s generally faster, more secure and durable in build. Check out the compact and light Samsung T3 Portable SSD below!

A wireless network

Keep your home office clean with a wireless network. Self-explanatory, wireless means you’ll spare yourself trying to fiddle around with cables and how to keep them neat and tidy. Internet connection via a router can provide a secure, high-speed link that’s modern and easy to function.

Netgear’s Orbi range is sleek, reliable, fast and easy to use. The video below gives you all its features and tips on picking the right one for your home!

Headphones

Storing a pair of headphones in the office (that don’t leave the office) means that you can watch a tutorial, listen to a podcast or play music as you work without disruption. They’re convenient to have on hand so that you don’t find yourself searching for your everyday pair of earphones.

Wireless headphones are a good option in particular because you can simply pop them in and out of the desk drawer without worrying about tangling or damaging wires. Too easy!

Beats By Dr.Dre and Sennheiser offer wide ranges of headphones with quality sound, comfortable designs and wireless features. JBL E55BT Wireless Over-Ear Headphones are another great pick for long-lasting battery life. Take a look below!

Phone charger

Save yourself the trouble of moving adapters from room to room and dedicate a phone charger to the office. Remember to cater for your work mobile phone or tablet too, if they require different chargers. A USB hub is useful in that case!

History

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

Bing Lee was born in 1906, in Yantai, a port city in eastern China’s Shandong province. In the 1930’s, Bing was a merchant trader in Chinese linen, providing for his wife, young son, and daughter. In 1937, in search of business opportunities, Bing made the difficult decision to leave his family and sail to Australia with the intention of returning with money to support the family.

Bing found employment and lived the Western Suburbs of Sydney, saving money to take back to his family. But in 1939, World War II began. The Japanese occupation of China made it impossible for Bing to leave Australia. He was unable to return home or contact his family. Bing’s wife and children were battling to survive back home. The family faced famine in the area where they lived and had to survive by trading their possessions and living on rations. Due to Australian policy at the time, Bing could not support them financially. There was no way to get the money to them. He would not hear from his family until the end of the war in 1945.

Bing’s family joined a flood of refugees fleeing the devastation of their home caused by Japanese occupation. But the journey was not easy. It took 3 years for them to make it across China to Hong Kong, where they finally boarded a ship headed for Sydney.

The family reunited with Bing at Sydney Wharf after 10 years of not having seen each other. It was 1948. His son, Ken, was 17 and did not remember much about his father. Having been through a long, harrowing separation, Bing was keen to settle with his family and create a better life for them with the many opportunities his new home had to offer.

Affordable land on the outskirts of Western Sydney drew many post-war migrants, and the suburb of Fairfield is where the Lee family would call home for over 50 years. Bing put his savings from working for the last 10 years into the purchase of a local fruit market. Ken, not wanting to leave his father to support the family alone, put his study ambitions on an indefinite hold to work in the family business.

Ken worked hard, but he also found the time to enjoy his new life, socialising and making Australian friends. As the only son, Ken wanted to show his parents that he was capable of not only working in the business but taking it over when his father was no longer able to run it.

THE RISE OF THE BING LEE BRAND

In the 1950s, Bing Lee was at the forefront of the new consumer age. He traded his fruit shop for an electrical repair shop, which he and Ken developed into an electrical retail store which also offered installation and repairs, tapping into a brand new market. Bing put faith in his customers by providing credit to fellow migrants, who would usually not have this option due to their lack of financial history. It provided previously out-of-reach technology, such as television, to the working class of Western Sydney. It was the dawn of an iconic brand. The Bing Lee rise to success was just beginning.

The post-war boom and Bing’s determination to give customers a good deal was the perfect recipe for success. In 1963 the family expanded the business by establishing a second store in Cabramatta.

Meanwhile, Ken was at the beginning of something great in his personal life. He met a young woman named Yenda, the daughter of a well-established Chinese merchant. The family was from the same part of China as the Lee family. They began courting and fell in love. Yenda was familiar with Ken’s passion for the family business, as she had seen her father’s business prosper through his hard work and dedication, so she knew what she was getting into when she married Ken on April 25th, 1959.

BING’S LEGACY

Ken became the driving force behind the growth of the family business in the late 1960s. It was at this time that Ken and his wife, Yenda, began their own family. In 1966 their first son, Lionel was born followed by Greg in 1972. Yenda was busy raising their sons while Ken worked hard in the business. During this time, Lionel and Greg became close to their grandfather, Bing. As their father spent more time on the business, the boys were spent more time with their grandparents. In 1987, aged 81, Bing passed away.

Lionel Lee was 21 when his grandfather passed away. As the first son, Lionel was in line to be his father’s successor. Having attended Kings School, he was well educated, but Lionel knew from the age of 13 that he would one day be the CEO of his grandfather’s legacy. The day after his final HSC exam, Lionel began working full time for Bing Lee. With big shoes to fill, Lionel took the role seriously and continued to work alongside his father to expand the Bing Lee empire. Ken had successfully passed on his work ethic to his eldest son, just as his father had to him. Bing Lee was now a third generation business.

But Ken wasn’t about to leave his son to run the show. He wanted nothing more than to ensure the business stays true to the company’s humble origins of staying low-cost and down to earth. Ken truly enjoyed spending time in the different stores, chatting to staff and meeting customers, even on the weekends. It was his “relaxation” time. And Yenda was always by his side.

THE NEXT GENERATION

Ken was dedicated to his business until the end. In 2007, he passed away at age 77, leaving behind Yenda, his sons, and his many grandchildren. Ken would be proud to see how the Bing Lee brand has continued to expand. With numerous stores across New South Wales, Victoria and ACT, the company has stayed true to its promise of offering great deals on the most trusted brands, providing honest advice and making the latest technology accessible to everyone. Embracing the concept of online shopping has allowed them to open up new markets to nationwide customers, delivering to almost anywhere in Australia.

Bing Lee is famous for trading the ‘Chinese’ way and over the years, it has become its biggest selling point. Before Ken passed away, he was able to do what he had been dreaming of for a long time – to take Lionel, Greg and their partners to visit Ken’s hometown of Yantai. Ken wanted his boys to see where he had come from. As they were born in Australia, Lionel and Greg’s upbringing was a stark contrast to Ken’s, and he wanted his sons to experience first hand his humble beginnings.

Ken wanted to pass down a work ethic that was passed onto him from his father, the late Bing Lee. Understanding where their father came from and the difficulties growing up during the war and famine was a humbling experience for the Lee boys, particularly Lionel, who felt a great responsibility to continue in his father’s footsteps as the eldest son.

BING LEE TODAY

As his late father’s successor, Lionel is proud to see Bing Lee as it is today. After more than half a century, Yenda and Lionel continue the traditions of the company, keeping the Bing Lee philosophy of offering affordable prices and down-to-earth customer service. You can still hear Lionel and Yenda in radio commercials with their humorous banter and trademark slogan. It is that familiar brand, one that people trust to bring great prices and in-store experience that keeps customers returning.

Now, when you walk through the doors of your local Bing Lee store, you will know the story behind it. Each and every store exemplifies how the hard work and dedication of one man, who set out to create a legacy for his family, became a pioneer in the electronics retail industry. Bing Lee continues to grow as a competitive retailer both in-store and online. It is a substantial employer and throughout the years has contributed to many local causes, charities and events.

Bing Lee – a great the Aussie icon, whose story begins in the Western Suburbs of Sydney, has stood the test of time. Perseverance, dedication and an understanding of what customers need put Bing Lee at the forefront of the industry. So, as Yenda would say, “Come and meet our team!”

The perfect hair dryer for every hair type: Dyson Supersonic

Hair care can get a bit strenuous. Anyone with a hair routine will know that. No matter what type of hair you have – straight, curly, oily or dry – the amount of attention, care and time it requires is probably more than what you can (or want to) give.

If your hair routine involves a hair dryer, you especially know this too well. There’s the strained wrist from repeatedly turning the worn-out brush, the risk of over-drying your hair and causing breakage, and the sheer amount of daylight that passes before your hair is actually done drying.

Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer Bing Lee

Oh, did we forget the external complaints about taking too long in the bathroom or making too much noise? Ugh.

Sometimes the struggle is too much. We give in, and the good ol’ bun comes into play the next day.

Luckily, Dyson has heard our desperate cry and dire need for fabulous hair every day. Introducing… Dyson’s Supersonic Hair Dryer.

Love at first sight

Before getting into the technical parts of why you’ll love the Dyson Supersonic, let’s take a minute to appreciate its simplicity and oh-so-chic design.

With its silver body, you can pick from a white or fuchsia accent. We’ve gone all heart-eyed! And rather than a typical chunky head with a fan, the motor is set within the handle for a balanced shape and weight.

Using four buttons to control and select your drying type, it’s still aesthetically pleasing while maintaining its easy-to-use functionality. The small lights on the head indicate how hot and how fast your setting is. Ultra-stylish!

Magnetising attachments

Dyson has made it incredibly easy to switch out attachments by making them magnetic. No more clicking, locking or struggling when wanting to try out something new. It complements the simple and sleek design perfectly.

The Supersonic comes with three attachments – here it comes – that cares for each hair type. Hooray! (Check out the videos to see for yourself!)

First, there’s the Dyson Styling Concentrator that releases high-velocity, focused air. It lets you style one section of hair at a time without disturbing the rest. It’s perfect for those fancier ‘dos that you want to rock on a night out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CLnZSI8aPs

 

Then there’s the Dyson Smoothing Nozzle that’s ideal for your everyday drying. It’s gentler, using smooth, wide air to dry and style at the same time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NL6fvl-k1mQ

 

Lastly, but definitely not least, there’s the Dyson Diffuser. This is a wider, spout-looking attachment that’s created specifically to dry curls. It’s engineered to disperse air evenly around each ringlet to improve definition – not frizz!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EbRmXbLb8s

 

Oh, and did we mention that the magnetic attachments have heat shield technology? Well, they do. The surfaces will stay cool even during close-up styling.

It’s as quiet as it is elegant

Dread drying your hair at night for fear of waking up the kids? Your hair dryer shouldn’t sound like a rocket taking off. Dyson knows that.

The Supersonic is engineered to produce one inaudible frequency that’s enveloped by what’s called a vibration reduction system. The system involves a rubber mount that prevents the motor from vibrating against the inside of the handle, producing less noise between the motor and the case.

The result means that a hair dresser can dry their client’s hair while still being able to have a conversation with them using their regular indoor voice.

Star performance

Sounds great so far, right? Let’s not forget about the core of how it benefits your hair.

It protects your natural shine by keeping the temperature under control. The air is measured 20 times every second (!) so that the temperature is just right. Preventing extreme heat reduces damage to your hair.

A lack of extreme heat doesn’t mean it will take you longer to dry your hair, though. It’s extremely fast-drying with a focus on high-velocity airflow rather than heat.

It’s taken years for Dyson specialists and engineers to tackle the science of hair but it’s been well worth the wait. Hair care has never been more enticing. Test

PANASONIC Air Conditioners

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgCrmU90a6E

From the moment you walk into your home you want to be comfortable, in both summer and winter and Panasonic’s New range of Air conditioners have a host of features to deliver that comfort.

Panasonic air conditioners are super efficient, thanks to Panasonic inverter. The inverter technology means once the desired temperature has been reached the air conditioning unit constantly adjusts the unit’s output to provide optimum comfort and reducing power consumption.

The new i-Auto X  feature enables significantly faster cooling using the new p-tech technology, allowing the compressor to achieve maximum frequency in the shortest possible time from start up.

The new aerowings design incorporates two independent blades that concentrate airflow to cool you and your personal space in the shortest possible time. And better yet, after reaching the set temperature, the aerowings direct the air up towards the ceiling to create a shower cooling effect as the cool air drifts gently down to control the ambient room temperature. This indirect airflow helps prevent the overcooling of people in the room, creating a more comfortable experience.

Econavi is a smart sensor technology which uses 5 detection methods to effectively cool the environment. It does an area search, detects when people are around, how much they are moving around, the amount of sunlight in the room, and the temperature wave. These 5 individual sensors work together to constantly adjust the unit output, giving you the perfect comfort while consuming as little power as possible.

Panasonic air conditioners also deliver cleaner air in your home, with over 50 percent of homes having someone who suffers from asthma, allergies or hayfever. Nano G technology removes and deactivates ninety nine percent of viruses, bacteria and mould in the air and on surfaces around your home.

That’s the New Panasonic range of air conditioners. Cleaner air, faster cooling and energy savings.

FUJITSU Air Conditioner Range

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrhBVdh44JA

Whether you need an air conditioning solution for a small bedroom or large living space, Fujitsu’s combination of technology and design provides an effective and efficient way to keep you and your family comfortable.

Bing Lee carry two ranges, the lifestyle range and the designer range. The Lifestyle range is a stylish, standardised design so all the air conditioners can have a consistent look and feel throughout the home. These are the most energy efficient air conditioners Fujitsu have designed.

The Designer range has a sleek, modern finish, a genuine style leader. The combination of stylish looks and intelligent features makes them a leader in both form and function.

Of course, both ranges share a multitude of features to make your living area cool and comfortable.

The indoor units are stylish and compact, so they can exist in the living area without being obtrusive. Their high energy efficiency means the room can be cooled effectively and quickly.

The human sensor control detects the movement of people in a room and adjusts its operating mode to save energy consumption. It continues with normal operation when the room is occupied, and the energy saving mode kicks into action when the room is left unoccupied for twenty minutes. Normal operation resumes when someone re-enters the room.

Fujitsu air conditioners are all about comfort and convenience. You can tailor your comfort needs at the touch of a button. When cooling, it uses a long reach horizontal air flow to maximise its reach across the whole area. In heating mode, it switches to a vertical floor level airflow to get the heat where it’s needed most.

The low noise mode is great for situations where the outdoor unit is close to neighbours. On nights where you need to use your Fujitsu air conditioner, press the low noise button on the remote to bring the outdoor unit noise down by three decibels, making sure you and your neighbours sleep soundly at night.

Finally, the weekly schedule timer lets you set and forget a daily timer so you can come home to a comfortable environment each day of the week.

That’s the Fujitsu range of air conditioners – energy efficient, innovative and modern.

 

Westinghouse Flexspace Fridges

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dkw_rjDbF5M

For over 60 years, Westinghouse has been designing practical and reliable kitchen solutions for Australian families. The new refrigeration range which has been developed over the last 3 years, has been designed to increase storage capacity of every fridge, from the depth of the base to redesigning the shelf rails, to increasing internal depth that doesn’t increase the external dimensions.

Westinghouse have developed a sliding rail system called Flexstore. Flexstore has a unique sliding rail with storage bins that lift and slide to exactly where they are needed. They are wide enough to hold 3 litre drink bottles and large bottles of milk and are incredible strong.

There’s bottle fingers on the bottom bin so every bottle is secure. There is a family safe compartment that can be locked when needed.

The key to keeping food fresh is maintaining the optimum temperature and humidity conditions, so every Westinghouse refrigerator has intelligent multi-flow technology, which provides an even temperature throughout the compartment, keeping food at optimal temperatures, reducing wastage and saving money.

Many fridges pass cold dry air through the crisper, this turns the fruit and vegetables dry. To control this, Westinghouse developed the flexfresh crisper. The flexfresh crisper circulates cool air around the crisper rather than through it, and is fully sealed. This maintain the crisper’s optimum temperature and humidity and an additional humidity control to adjust the settings when needed. It also has a sliding divider to keep fruit and vegetables apart, for ongoing freshness.

To control the multi-flow air system, there is an electronic touch temperature controller, located at the front of the inside of the fridge for easy access. For times when you need to rapidly chill, there is a boost button to maximise airflow and cool everything quickly.

There are bright LED lights at the back and top to help find items that get lost on busy shelves, and all models have a door alarm to let you know when the door has been left open. The spill-safe glass shelves are designed to improved visibility and isolate leaks, preventing up to a litre of spills from dripping onto shelves below.

It’s easy to keep the new Westinghouse fridges clean, inside and out. The deli and freezer bins have easy to remove clip off fronts, shelf walls have been designed to be easy to wipe, and the Flexstore bins and shelves are easy to remove.

Stainless steel models have fingerprint resistant coatings. To make it really easy to load and unload groceries, in the bottom mount range, all freezer drawers have full extension runners. The top mount range have adjustable door dividers, to organize the freezer exactly the way you want it. Plus, these freezers never need defrosting.

That’s just some of the features of the new Westinghouse fridge range!

BEKO 584L French Door Fridge with Drink Bar

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p7F7H9a_y0

This is a 584 litre French door fridge from Beko that has some great features that help you keep your fridge items organised and extend the life of your fruit and veggies.

So let’s start on the outside of the fridge. This is a fingerprint free stainless steel fridge with clean straight lines, and metal finish handles. Here you can see the mini-bar with soft opening door that gives you quick access to drinks without opening the entire fridge door.

The water dispenser is perfect for the quick sports bottle top up. If you need a drink in the middle of the night there’s an automatic illuminator.

Now as you can see we have the fridge area on the top and the freezer area on the bottom. Now did you know that many fridges have one cooling system for both areas, which means they share the same air circulation? Not this Beko. The cooling system is actually independent for the fridge and freezer areas. This controls the humidity levels better and stops odours getting from one area to another. This means longer lasting fruit and veggies.

Because it’s french door there is a huge wide space that can be used for really wide platters and big pots – great for parties and family events. The glass shelving can accommodate different sized containers by adjusting the mechanism with a push or pull action.

The two doors in the bottom freezer area give you a more organised freezing space. Plus, the multi-zone compartment gives you the option to turn the right hand side freezer into a fridge when  you need the extra cooling space.

The fridge area has active fresh blue light. This technology that Beko uses actually helps the fruit and vegetables, which have grown as a result of sunlight, continue to stay fresh and actually prolongs the life of your fruit and veggies.

In addition to the blue light, the Active Ioniser neutralises bacteria, viruses and particles that cause effluvia in the refrigerator, which creates an antibacterial effect. The circulated air inside the refrigerator is kept clean and as a result food can be stored for a longer period. The active odour filter circulates and filters cool air inside the refrigerator to help eliminate unwanted odours and bacteria to help keep food fresh.

That’s the Beko fridge, family sized, versatile and keeping your fresh food at its optimum for longer!

LG 712L Stainless Steel 4 Door French Door Fridge

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QBHUz-sOIw

Here is a 712 litre French door fridge with 4 doors, from LG.

So let’s start on the outside of the fridge. This is not just any water dispenser, it’s one of the tallest on any fridge, and can accommodate a kids sports bottle – very convenient.

One of the really cool and practical features on this french door is the door in door feature. On this door I just press a button while I open the fridge and here we have a very handy inner panel that holds all of the snacks and drinks that the whole family would want frequent access to during the day.

This door in door minimises the amount of cold escaping from the main fridge area. The shelving in this door can hold standard can sizes, so you don’t have to worry about fitting skinnier drinks there. In fact the shelf height in this section can be adjusted by simply moving it depending on your storage needs.

Now, we close this door, this time open without the button press, and welcome to the main compartment, and let’s open the other door as well. Because it’s french door there is a huge wide space that can be used for really wide platters and big pots – great for parties and family events.

The fridge area has bright led lights which are just as bright as daylight, so it’s easy to find what you’re looking for. Now one thing you may notice is the absence of a ice box on this shelf that would normally feed the water and ice dispenser on the front of the door. LG have smartly integrated the entire water and ice dispensing into the door itself, so you’ve got complete freedom to use the entire width of your fridge top to bottom.

There are a couple of little hideaway spaces where you can store small cold items like eggs, cheese and snacks.

Being a big fridge, you’re going to have a lot of different food types, and to make sure you don’t retain any odours, the pure and fresh deodoriser at the back here helps neutralize odours and purify the air that’s circulating in the fridge.

Now down here is the freezer compartment, and it is split into two doors. This provides lots of organisation and saves you from opening the full freezer area when you only need one item.

As you can see, this French Door from LG helps you stay organised, gives you great visibility for all your cooled and frozen food items and minimises cold air loss with its door in door feature.
