Samsung CLP 300 - not worth buying

Advantages: Small laser printer
Disadvantages: Unreliable

...I always had and ink jet printer. But at work I used laser printers and I loved them. Unfortunately they have been far too big for home use. I am not sure why but I always have been convinced that a laser printer is somehow better- the speed, the quality, just everything. How wrong I was!!! A couple of months ago I saw the Samsung CLP-300 on a website and it looked brilliant. Well, everything looks brilliant if someone wants to sell it. Anyhow, for me it looked good enough. But I did not want to pay £150 for a new printer. So, I had a look in ebay. And there it was my Samsung CLP-300 for £100. Well, I bid on and got it for £112 in the end. The CLP-300 claims to be the world's smallest and lightest colour laser printer. Well, at least at that time. It?s measurements are 390 x 344 x 265 mm, which is pretty small for a laser...

Colour That Doesnt Run

Advantages: Good Price, Small Package
Disadvantages: Small paper tray and no manual feed

...I have had a colour ink jet printer for years, and this has serviced me well, however I always used to get annoyed with the smudging that can occur whilst the ink is drying. Also when using a printed envelope the address would run if it was raining when the postman was delivering or on the way to the post box. I had always wanted a colour laser printer but they had always been put off by the price of the printers and the ongoing cost of consumables. However I was in my local PC World one weekend and spotted the Samsung CLP-300 for what I considered a reasonable price £150, so I picked one up. -----------The Specification----------- The CLP-300 claims to be the world's smallest and lightest colour laser printer! I am not sure if this claim is correct but the printer does come in a small package measuring in at 390 x 344 x 265...

I say yes

Advantages: Speed, cost and quality
Disadvantages: Nothing I can think off at the moment

...This is a great printer. Beware that there are two types: The CLP 300 and the CLP 300N. The 300N is for networking. This means you can print to this printer from more than one PC if you have more than one PC in your house or office. For home use it is a waste of money because I do not print that often to justify networking. The quality is great and really amazing and the speed is mind blowing. If you need REAL photo quality printing, this is not for you because on closer inspection you will notice defects - Especially if you are a photo printing connoisseur. There is only one button - The on-off button, nothing else! Easy to use for the "not so computer literate", but could be disappointing for those who likes to tinker a bit. I also own an inkjet photo printer which is great when it comes to quality. The advantage of the laser...

Pleasantly Surprised

Advantages: Price, Simple change of toners
Disadvantages: Relatively slow print speeds, Toner costs

...Normally I am not the greatest Samsung fan after my little episode with its <a href="http://www.ciao.co.uk/SamsungP10XTD1600FingerprintReview5680459">P10 laptop</a>, but here is my story for this. Being a graphic design student, I needed a printer that would print out designs on just about any sort of paper quickly and beautifully. I'm glad that CLP-300 didn't disappoint me...not yet anyway. Being the world's smallest colour laser printer, and winning the reddot design award in 2006, I really had hoped for something not to disappoint. Initially, it was definitely the price that caught my attention to this printer; as cheap as around £130 or so and you can already get CLP-300, this machine looks very simple and built from ground to make this printer so low-cost. Not to mention other attractions such as OSX-compatibility (woohoo...

Review of Samsung CLP 300N

Samsung CLP 510 a good robust machine

Advantages: automatic double sided printing, cheap colour laser printer
Disadvantages: very heavy, toner expensive

...I was told not to use a colour laser printer under a £1000 for high quality colour prints. So my expectation was not high. Why did I buy it? I print a residents newsletter once a quarter about 6 sides and 450 -500 copies, besides personal printing items. Being a laser I am worry about the right type of paper for printing so I have not yet a year in used it for glossy photo paper. I was able to print card but had to feed in using the manual feeder as I wanted to double side it. I have been amazed at the speed I can print the newsletters even with two or three photos included. and the print quality is very good. As with all printers I have learned not to trust toner empty messages, provided I watch it print at that point at least 500 pages can be printed - that is a saving. It is so easy to change the toner, and even in...

Snap Happy Samsung!

Advantages: Great camera at a great price.
Disadvantages: None at the price, you get a great item for what you pay!

...I bought this camera in ASDA at the incredible price of £75 in a gorgeous chrome silver colour (pictured). I am probably one of the most indecisive shoppers around, so when it came to buying a digital camera, I was thoroughly confused by the choice and newly released technology, meaning every week a new camera with more mega pixels and better zoom and a toaster built in was released! This certainly does not making chosing easy! Well, thanks to the advice of the very helpful assistant in ASDA, I was able to finally decide on the Samsung ES55 and have no regrets! Ok, so how do you chose the right camera for you? It's all about accepting there is SO much variety but making sure you know what you want, that way you can really trim down the choice. Also, pick a reliable brand and as I have been informed, Samsung are one of the best. I had...

Review of Samsung ES55

Compact, good quality laser printer

Advantages: Compact, good print quality, easy set-up
Disadvantages: initial pre-heating is noisy and takes 30secs, small paper tray, no both side printing

...My main printer used to be an HP 995c inkjet printer. I had it for more than 6 years. Trying to save on ink, I ordered remanufactured ink from inkcycle. 51645A (No 45) at 5£ each is cheap but print quality was terrible. I could not even read the text printed on the paper. Don't buy from inkcycle, the quality of their remanufactured ink is terrible. So I decided to make the switch to a laser printer, in June 2009. I wanted a color laser printer, because it is necessary to print some documents with colors (maps, etc). I was surprised to see that many color laser printers come at affordable prices. Size and weight was an issue for me so I went for the smallest ones. My shortlist, based on smallest weight was: - HP CP1515n (18kgs) - Canon iSensys LBP 5050n (19 kgs) - Canon iSensys LBP 5100 (18 kgs) - Samsung CLP 350N (15kgs...

Review of Samsung CLP 350N

Samsung but smaller

Advantages: Very compact and lightweight, excellent value for money, great design with brilliant screen
Disadvantages: No dvd drive but this is to save on weight and you can pick up an external one for reasonable

...Having previously had a laptop my wife recently decided to buy a new computer for herself as she felt she was not taking her laptop with her due to size and weight and so decided to opt to pick up the Samsung NC10 netbook. So you may have noticed that this is a netbook and be wondering what this exactly means...a netbook is a smaller, lighter weight laptop that is simply designed to handle internet browsing, e-mail and office software. The question I was asked by my wife before she picked this little gadget up was would this be able to play games? The answer is yes but of a limited variety as this is not designed with the same level of specs in as a normal pc or laptop (you would also need to purchase a cd or dvd drive for if you are looking at playing games that use a cd). Now down to the actual netbook itself...the Samsung is...

Samsung SGH-P300

Advantages: It's tiny !
Disadvantages: Could do with an "OK" button in the middle of the nav-pad...

...Well, having seen this about on t'internet for a while, when my O2 contract was up for renewal last week, this was the one I had to have ! Having once been a dedicated "Nokia only" man, my mind is definitely opening having recently owned and used a Samsung E710 & D500 so I was certainly optomistic about this one. It arrived on Friday afternoon in a lovely box containing the following items: - SGH-P300 phone itself - Leather flip case / additional battery - Stereo hands free headset - Wall power charger - USB connnector cable - User manual - Software CD The phone is absolutely tiny, the same size as a credit card at just 86mm x 54mm and only a little bit thicker at 8.9 mm. Being this thin means, I guess, that carrying it around in my back pocket (oh so tempting) is really not a good idea just in case I sit down and snap...
