Canon Pixima IP4300

Advantages: Easy to set up, good quality picture and text output.
Disadvantages: Could have better written manual

...Around the beginning of April, I switched on my old and trusted Epson 880 and went to print out a page, nothing happened. Nothing that is, except all the lights across the front of the machine flashing on and off. A quick reference to the handbook took me to the page that read, ?If all lights are flashing, there is an internal fault. Please contact a qualified Epson engineer?. Well it was getting on for 10 years old and had served me well, so I decided it was time for a new printer. I was fully intending to get another Epson, but the sales assistant in PC World advised me that a the Canon IP4300 was a far better buy, and would be far cheaper to run than any of the Epsons. After he showed me some of the photographic results, I was sold and I got to admit, I am very pleased with my purchase. On getting the printer home, I found it...

Trek 4300

Advantages: Lightweight, Durable, Value for Money
Disadvantages: No lock out on the forks, no disc brakes, poor quality chainset

...After a long break from cycling I decided to get back into mountain biking. My budget was limited and I wanted something lightweight and durable. After coming across the Trek 4300 my mind was quickly made up, lovely lightweight frame that wouldn't be out of place on bikes twice the price. A reasonable set of Shimano Alvio shifters and forks with adjustable pre-load. Perfect for what I wanted, something I could commute to work on but also give a good thrashing around the local MTB routes. The bike is versatile, the adjustable pre-load works well and although the forks aren't fantastic, they'll serve you well as long as you're not throwing it off 6 foot drop offs. The only things really letting this bike down are the Suntour SR cranks. Mine were poorly fitted and the pedals had been cross threaded which meant that when I went...

Good photos at a price - don't spend too much on the Coolpix 4300

Advantages: great lens = good image quality, now extremely cheap
Disadvantages: now quite old, poor design, out of date features, slow startup, battery flap weak point, bulky

...I am an enthusiastic amateur photographer completing Photography GSCE and A level, before going on to study biology. I continue with my photography, and over the years have used many digital cameras. I was given the Coolpix 4300, which was my main camera while I was at school. It may not be the best digital compact now, but, I have rediscovered it, as it is useful to have in my bag when I do not want to risk my newer, more expensive cameras to get damaged or stolen. Technical Specifications The spec for this Coolpix does not look particularly good in the current market. It has a pretty standard 3x optical zoom and 4MP (megapixels), and I am currently looking at a Technika in the ?Tesco direct? (like Argos) catalogue, which has 5MP for £29.97. However, megapixels are not as important as they are made out to be ? the human...

Print, Copy, Scan, Fax, what doesn't the HP Laserjet 3380 do?

Advantages: Loads of functions
Disadvantages: Ugly, only black and white

...Introduction As a company we have always bought Hewlett Packard printers. We have always found them to be the most reliable manufacturer on the market and the quality is second to none. As we had historically just had printers in our office, my boss decided that we needed a little bit more functionality and decided to go for the Laserjet 3380. The Laserjet 3380 is a multifunctional laser printer. As well as printing, the device is capable of copying, scanning and faxing documents. The printer is designed to be a single use printer but we have networked it and although in principal this sounds a good idea, we have lost some functionality which I will touch upon later in the review. Find your way around the Laserjet 3380 First impressions of this printer is that its very bulky and ugly. Starting at the top, there...

Kodak CX4300 Digital camera.

Advantages: Light-weight, compact and easy to use.
Disadvantages: You will need to get regargable batteries for this camera.

...to buy rechargable batteries so not to waste money in the long run. The built in 16 mb of memory holds around 45 photos on the lowest setting, and 15 or 16 on the highest. A secure digital (SD) or multimedia card (MMC), which can be found cheap now will help to storage more pics. A 64mb SD memory card will storage 125 high quality pics. The camera really shines when it comes to sharing prints over the internet. with one click of the button, the camera loads the photos to the web with ease. Downloading pictures onto your computer is also a snap. The software that kodak include is really very easy to use and you has an automatic update as well. my opinion is: Though not the most technologically innovative camera on the market, the CX4300 meets the needs of the casual camera user as well as the more experienced user who wants to...

Review of Kodak CX4300

Long-lasting laserjet

Advantages: excellent quality printing, reasonable speed, ease of use
Disadvantages: multi-feeding paper

...We bought our HP Laserjet 6l nearly six years ago. At a time when most of our computer-literate friends were buying colour desk-jet printers, we weighed up the kinds of things we wanted to print, and the cost, and decided that a black-only laser printer would actually meet our needs better. ? What we wanted it for ? We bought it shortly before Christmas, so that we could print our annual family newsletter on it. Six years ago, photocopying was quite pricey. Taking into account paper, cartridge usage and even a little for wear and tear, we calculated that a laser printer would produce double-sided pages for about a third of the cost of photocopying, meaning it would pay for itself over a few years. In addition we could choose to print exactly the number we needed, plus a few extra if necessary later on, rather than having to...

Hello DGL-4300

Advantages: Fast, secure and great for gamers
Disadvantages: A bit complicated to set up for the novice

...Well after struggling with my Linksys router for the last 2 years, and it's constant crashes and disconnects, I stumbled across this router. It claims to be aimed at the computer gamer, with easy options to allow you to play your favourite online games. I found the appealing, as most routers are terrible when it comes to online gaming. I'm sure the gamers reading this will be used to dealing with port forwarding, and running out of space in the router to config, when setting up your games. Well this problem is made a whole lot easier with the DGL-4300. It even has a pre installed list of game setting in the router config screen, so all you have to do is select the game, and all the forwarding is done. When I first saw this router, it was listed in most online shops at well over £100. However, I managed to find it on Misco...

Laserjet 4050T

Advantages: Fantastic Print Speed, Backward compatible consumables
Disadvantages: High priced consumables

...I took delivery of a Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4050T this week to replace a very hard worked LaserJet 4000TN which we have had 18 months and is now about ready to collapse. The New Laserjet 4050T uses the same toner cartridges as the 4000, and accepts the old JetDirect 10/100 network card. (Enabling the unit to just have the card installed and it runs even using the old 4000 series driver.) The unit also provides wireless printing access for mobile users; enhanced document management like private printing; easy internet printing for general office users, as well as solutions for barcode, MICR and virtually any paper handling and finishing needs. The HP JetSend enabled FIR receiver eliminates the search for cables and drivers. 1200dpi at full engine speed. 16ppm print speed. HP WebJet Admin for remote management help reduce power...

A 10 for the HP Laserjet 1010

Advantages: very fast, 8mb memory
Disadvantages: quite big

...Ok so finally deciding to opt for a mono laser rather than another colour inkjet I decided to go online and shop for the newest and funkiest on teh market. I ended up at PCworld- being the kind of person I am, shopping online just isn't good enough sometimes when you want to touch and feel the product! After bending the poor ear of a very unsuspecting sales assisstant he recommended this one as it was the newest out. His other option was sumsung similar version in the same price bracket.. I have to say though the Samsung is prone to paper jams- and how do you know this? I hear you ask- well teh trusted sales assisstant had on at home ( as did his sales assisstant friend) and they both said although the Samsung is £10 cheaper it's jus not as good. So here are the specs: Main Specs Product Description HP LaserJet 1010...

The Pro & Cons of HP Color Laserjet 4700dn Printer

Advantages: Easy install and setup, reliable, fast speed and capable for network pritning .
Disadvantages: Expensive and cannot print in A3 size, difficult in loading paper .

...reduce the lifespan of the other three color toners. Conclusion It is an idea for LAN printing in a business office with a wide range of media selection, reliable quality and faster speed. However, if you required for print media in A3 size, then it is not for you. It is also not a good idea for personal or graphic designer, as it is expensive in price and also not the best choice for the hi-resolution graphics due to the 600 dpi limitation. Although it seldom got jammed, but if you are not fixing the media correctly, it may be a problematic and need to call technician for help. The correct selection of media type in the printer properties option will reduce the problem and make your printing smoothly.
