Reviewed on June 14, 2006The HP Color LaserJet 1600 printer is the same printer as the HP CLJ 2600n with fewer features. Unlike the 2600n, the 1600 is not network ready and can be connected only via USB. Finally, the CLJ 1600 printer is compatible only with Windows-based PCs; the 2600n works with both PCs and Macs. Because both models use the same processor and memory, performance and print quality should be the same, so our assessment of those aspects of the 2600n stand for the 1600 as well. With its basic features and smaller price tag (about $299), the HP CLJ 1600 is better suited for home office environments.TAGS:tray, printer, HP, memory, PC
Reviewed on July 20, 2007Its features set is oddly unbalanced, and better all-in-one inkjet options cost just a bit more, but the HP Photosmart C5280 is a good bet for casual home users on a tight budget.TAGS:tray, HP, printing, printer, memory card, photograph, USB, CD, DVD, PC
Reviewed on September 18, 2007The HP Photosmart A826 snapshot printer offers an attractive design, is easy and fun to use, and works better without a PC than any other snapshot printer we've reviewed thanks to its huge touch screen, but we wonder who will spend $250 for a dedicated photo printer.TAGS:PictBridge, stylus, memory card, HP, printer, Epson, touch screen, photograph, camera, PC
Reviewed on October 9, 2007Long on design and short on features, the Samsung SCX-4500 multifunction laser printer is best suited for light home or office use. Unless you're willing to pay for a showcase printer (two words we've never seen next to one another), your money will buy you more features and faster task speeds elsewhere.TAGS:laser, printer, Samsung Electronics, laser printer, print, control panel, scanner, button, Apple Computer, PC
Reviewed on June 30, 2006With the Iomega StorCenter Wireless NAS drive, you get storage, backup, and so much more, all at a reasonable price, though we don't quite see the need for wireless capability. This NAS drive should please both SOHO users and home users who want a drive that works and plays.TAGS:Iomega Corp., NAS, Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, backup, printer, CD, PC, hard drive, Microsoft Windows
