If you pay the same for a high-end HP as you did 2 years ago, you get a very good printer. So, their $900-up printers are not bad to very nice.
The problem is, they are busy pitching >$440 "workgroup" laser printers that are basically junk. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ben Ruset Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 8:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; The Hardware List Subject: Re: [H] Disposable computers The high end HP's are still good. Like everything, most computer equipment is lower "quality" than it was 5 years ago. I have a HP Photosmart printer which has been great. I'd probably still buy one of their laser printers over a Samsung or something like that. The new cheap HP's have built in duplexing which is cool.
