Reviews

Laser DVBT-MP32 Multimedia Plus

It's not the prettiest PMP on the block, but the inclusion of digital TV support makes the MP32 a great little gadget.
Sony Bravia KDL46WE5

Sony Australia's first crack at an "eco-conscious" LCD TV, the WE5 cuts power consumption through its new HCFL backlight and a Presence Sensor.
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.
Fuji Xerox Phaser 3125/N

Even though it won't set hearts on fire with its bland exterior, the Fuji Xerox Phaser 3125/N will impress with its speedy monochrome laser prints and good print quality.
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.
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.
Samsung ML-2851ND

Home offices and small businesses should take a serious look at the Samsung ML-2851ND's mono laser because of its excellent print speed, text print quality, auto-duplexer, and networking features. It's a little more expensive than the competition, but its chart-topping test results speak for themselves.
