Lenovo has many offerings for Windows 8 but if you’re looking for a Windows 7 machine, my favourite is the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, which I used when travelling in Kyushu, Japan in December.

It’s light, slim and the battery life lasts forever. It’s also svelte and fashionable!

Review: Fuji Xerox DocuPrint M255 z multifunction desktop printer

Thursday, February 21st, 2013

The DocuPrint M255 z is a four-in-one multifunction machine that prints (monochrome laser), copies, scans (with OCR), and faxes.

Targeted towards small businesses or the home office, it is priced at S$399 (incl. GST).

Fuji Xerox DocuPrint M255 z S-LED Multifunction Desktop Printer (RRP:S$399).

I used the DocuPrint M255 z for two weeks and found it to be easy to set up, churned out good print quality, and felt faster than its specs suggested.

Although it’s labelled a desktop printer, it does take up the better half of a regular work desk – but that’s no surprise since it’s a multifunction machine that not only prints, but copies, scans and faxes as well.

It’s no bulkier than other office multifunction laser printers that I’ve used from other makes.

The control panel looks busy with plenty of buttons. Once you get the hang of it, the user-interface is actually quite easy to use.

The DocuPrint M255 z is able to print double-sided, saving much time and paper cost. Most importantly to me, that makes it all the more environmentally friendly.

The printer has a fixed drum feature that means that there is only one consumable to replace, further keeping the cost of ownership down.

Print resolution is 1,200 x 1,200 dpi and I had no complaints with the print quality – be it text documents or black-and-white printouts of graphics, illustrations, and photos in black-and-white.

A toner save mode provides the option of using uses less toner per page. Although the printout was slightly fainter, I found that the printout was still crisp, sharp and readable.

One might not even notice the difference if not told that toner save mode is used.

My say:
Designed for small and home offices (SOHOs), the affordable S$399 DocuPrint M255 z churns out good print quality while keeping the cost of ownership affordable for the budget conscious who don’t want to compromise on print quality.

Print speed is up to 30 pages per minute but it certainly feels much faster – at least compared with what I’m used to. It’s like the machines sucks in paper from the feeder and spits it out almost instantaneously, albeit rather vehemently.
