Reviews

  • HP Color LaserJet CP1215

    The Color LaserJet CP1215 is HP's entry-level printer built to serve small workgroups, but it suffers from frustratingly slow print speeds, a missing LCD screen, and other problems.

  • HP Color LaserJet CP2025n

    Although the HP CP2025n is rather slow to print black documents and is missing supplementary features, the colour laser shines in output quality, and the software holds your hand through a somewhat daunting learning curve. We recommend it to anyone hunting for a workhorse printer to complement an equally diligent work environment.

  • Samsung CLP-315W

    The Samsung CLP-315W is a fancy looking wireless laser printer with a clean design and small footprint, but the output quality is unacceptable and the blisteringly slow speeds will have you searching for other options.

  • Samsung CLP-310

    You don't get blazingly fast laser speeds with the CLP-310, but it does live up to the hype of offering affordable colour laser printing in a small form factor.

  • Dell Studio 17

    The Dell Studio 1735 is a decent laptop which is best for multimedia and casual gaming, but the glossy, hi-res screen isn't suited to general usage.

  • HP Deskjet D2560

    A bare bones desktop printer with a minimum of features and accessories, the HP Deskjet D2560 is really only suitable for printing basic black and white pages. Don't trust it with your photographs.

  • Kodak ESP 5 All-in-One Printer

    Kodak sells the ESP 5 on its cheap printing capabilities. Sadly, in this context, cheap equals not very good.

  • B&W VM6

    The B&W VM6 are surprisingly capable loudspeakers but the compact dimensions stunt their performance.
