Advantages: easy to use, low cost, cheap to run. Disadvantages: none
After purchasing a Samsung ML-1610 black laser printer for £50 a couple of years ago, we decided that as soon as the colour laser printers came down in price, we would get one of those.
We also wanted a multi-function printer, to replace the multi-function inkjet printer that we had. If it could have a fax as well, then all well and good.
After keeping an eye on prices for a while, I was searching one day and came across the SamsungCLX-2160 multi-function colour laser printer.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
Well, it is a copier, printer, scanner. It prints in black and colour. It prints up to 16 pages per minute in black and up to 4 ppm in colour.
The copying peed is up to 16 ppm in black and up to 4 ppm in colour.
Described as "The world's smallest color multifunctional printer". It is ideal for small office or home office use ...
Advantages: Perhaps it will burn well? Disadvantages: Unreliable, unreliable, unreliable...
This printer jams at VERY frequent intervals; in fact I've given up trying to use the paper feeder, I have to feed it a page at a time and give it a gentle push. This happens with any type of paper - plain 80gsm, 160 gsm card stock, sticky label paper - you name it, the CLX-3160 can jam it.
That's the first hurdle. But even when you get the wretched thing to feed, the print quality is EXTREMELY unreliable, particularly with card stock; but blocks of solid colour (eg when you're trying to print out a postage label, a barcode, anything like that) are very often patchy. I've given up trying to measure its failure rate on printing card - it's easier to measure its success rate, which has now fallen well below 50%.
In short, do not buy this piece of garbage at any price. You will regret it. If I could give it negative stars I would. ...
Advantages: Good performance, Good connectivity options, Good webcam, 160GB HDD, Upgradeable Disadvantages: Not very good accessories, Picks up Fingerprints, Weird button under touchpad
After my white Asus Eee PC 1000H got stolen, I decided to replace it with a black Samsung NC10. The Asus and this Samsung are what is known as a netbook. It?s sort of a small, low cost laptop to let you surf the net, while you?re out and about. I bought it off Dixons.co.uk for £322 in December 2009 (had a 5% off coupon) but it?s going for around £310 at the moment in most places.
CHOICES
The NC10 is Samsung's first stab at the netbook market and they?ve done a blinding job of it. I believe it even won an award for it. The NC10 comes in three flavours, those being black, blue and white. I chose the black as it looks prettier. The white one also looks great but I figured that it would start to pick up dirt and go a bit black, especially the keyboard and touchpad. The white version has a matte lid so doesn't pick up ...
