  • 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.

    Google Desktop 4 beta is less clunky than its predecessor and we love the zippy search and creative Sidebar Gadgets. Still, we're wary of handing over our computing habits to Google's servers.
