HP 16-in-1 Media Card Reader with PCI Card

Advantages: Portable
Disadvantages: Only Print Standard Photo Size (10x15cm)

...be done of all the pictures in the memory card. After removing it from the box, you can plug it in directly and all the instructions will appear on the display for you to slot in the cartridge and select your preffered language. It is a piece of cake to set it up. There are no big manuals to read. The printer also takes all the media cards (Sony Memory Stick, Multimedia Card, Secure Digital Card & others) that are available in the market. The card reader is in front of the printer. You can see multiple slots for the different cards available.This clearly means that no matter what digital camera you have, you can still use this printer just by removing the media card and slotting it into the printer. It is an added bonus if you have a HP digital camera as it can connect to printer directly via a cable and do the printing directly... Read review

Advantages: Very Upgradable, Cheaply Priced, Very Reliable.
Disadvantages: The nVidia 7500LE is by no means an efficent card, No front case fan.

...the packaging out of the way (before plugging the Compaq in) I had a look inside the case. What you get is a pretty cramped case with all the wires, but also there's 3 PCI slots and a PCIe x16 slot which has the nVidia 7500LE card in there. So after enough rumiging through the case I plugged it in, all worked very well indeed with the Compaq/Windows Vista setup. Now 8 months down the line I have purchased another of these Compaq's and in my opinion these Compaq series are one of the most reliable computers I have ever used. Advantages of the Compaq SR2125UK: -Very upgradable -Good onboard sound -Cheaply priced -Very reliable -Stays cool even though it's a Micro ATX case Disadvantages of the Compaq SR2125UK: -The nVidia 7500LE is by no means an efficent card -No front case fan Overall I gave this computer 5 stars for it's reliability and price....

Advantages: THREE functions all for one technology / good value for money for all THREE functions
Disadvantages: The COPY function gives average results. Ink cartridges are rapidly used up in premium photos

...important to me as I my printing activities are generally based on A4-sized paper media. It can be adjusted to suit printing conditions for anything less than A4 such as smaller paper sizes (especially A5), envelopes or cards At a glance, the HP all-in-one F380 printer features ten, CONTROL PANEL BUTTONS on the far, left of its top layer (see section 4. FUNCTIONS for more details on control buttons). These 'control panel buttons' are represented in icons rather than text, and their order (according to the 'Basics Guide'), are as follows: (1) On (2) Check Paper light (3) Check Print Cartridge light (4) Cancel (5) Copies (6) Plain Paper Type (7) Photo Paper Type (8) Start Copy Black (9) Start Copy Color* (10) Scan *(Note: HP is a US-based manufacturer, hence the American spelling for colour) Overall, THE DESIGN CHECKOUT of this HP DESKJET F...
