Being a Graphic Art student, during my first year of university I found myself fighting the urge to buy a scanner. However, even mounting student debts and an overdraft extension could not put me off this bargain of a scanner! Other scanners on the market either seem to have too many needless features bumping the prices up, or they are painfully slow and bulky machines that would not sit comfortably next to a new Mac. I managed to get mine for around £65, and have not regretted it since. It is just perfect for fast but accurate scans of images, without the fuss of useless applications that clog up your memory [it works best straight through Photoshop].

The added extras like the automatic white-balancing save time, and it crops whilst in preview mode. To add to the list of necessities, it is quite light, it easy to clean, and looks sleek in silver and black. It may take a while to install but it's not complicated and is worth the wait when you can get it for under £70. The only aspect have found slightly bewildering is the hinged lid - it struggles with larger items and snaps into place which is quite off-putting, but it's fine if held in place, which you would expect to do if scanning large or awkward shaped items. And the fast speed of the device makes up for this small defect anyway!
