Reviews

HP ProBook 4310s

If you find that the price is right and you are only planning on doing menial tasks, you could do a lot worse than the HP ProBook.
HP 2159m

HP's 21.5-inch monitor is fairly average for its class — however, in the face of its limitations, the price doesn't add up.
HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One C309g

The Photosmart Premium is a nifty little multifunction with the added novelty of a touchscreen. It does a great job of plain text, but it's a pity about its colour prints.
HP w185

Its limitations mean that the only scenario we can recommend the w185 in is where you need a dirt cheap monitor for extremely basic use, like to throw in a server room. Otherwise if you're looking for quality, we'd look elsewhere.
HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless

The HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless makes a convincing inkjet argument for offices with a high volume of prints. With a function touchscreen, multiple networking options and an astoundingly fast print speed, it makes perfect sense to give this workhorse an Editors' Choice award.
HP Mini 5101

HP's biz-minded Mini 5101 is a successor to the Mini 2140 (one of our all-time favourite netbooks). It looks and feels great, but for a premium-price netbook, we expect to get more features, not fewer.
HP SimpleSave Portable 320GB

HP's SimpleSave portable drive does make backups simple, as long as your file names aren't too long.
HP Officejet 6000

We like the simplicity of the HP Officejet 6000 single-function inkjet printer, but its lack of an LCD screen takes some getting used to. Nevertheless, it performed well and earns our recommendation as a great single-function printer.
