Very compact and incredibly cheap for an A3 all-in-one, but speed and print quality are only average

Interesting design and plenty of features, but it takes an age to produce mediocre results

A dreadful scanner and an overall lack of features make the low price a moot point

This is one of the most complete office multifunction printers we've ever seen. but the MFC-885CW can’t overcome its price or quality issues.

An uncompromising monochrome laser that gets the job done with speed and precision.

Quick, cheap to run and an abundance of features – a worthy award winner

Youll have to excuse the pun, but the MFC-9200c is far and away the big brother to the MFC-4600. There is no comparison in terms of size, and it efficiently uses that space to provide more features than its competition.

It’s not quite an office grade product, but the MFC-7840W is a great choice for a busy home office.

Lightning quick, top-quality prints and the running costs are as low as the price tag

With a performance reflecting its relatively lower price, the Brother didn't score as well in most printing tests. The photo print in particular took over four times longer than many of the other printers, and its quality was inferior in comparison. Text quality was also poor, particularly on the smaller 6pt font where visible banding occurred.

As most of the devices we tested consisted of inkjet units, we were interested to see how the laser printer in the MFC-4600 stacked up. Relatively lacking in features, the MFC-4600 is geared toward productivity, performing well in our speed tests.

We’ve examined the data from more than 8000 readers to reveal exactly what sort of reliability, customer service and satisfaction you can expect in 2007.

The initial purchase price of a printer can be difficult to see past when you're making a buying decision, and it's tempting to simply go for the cheapest available - but inkjet printing can be deceptive.

From personal printers to home office colour, we put 12 lasers through their paces. Some are lightning fast; others produce dazzling colour. Some are tiny, and some are surprisingly cost-effective.

The British Government has been trialing an unusual program designed to keep tabs on problem families by installing CCTV cameras in 2000 homes, and plans for 20,000 more on the way.

Security and privacy advocates argue that RFID tags could make it easier for hackers to target our private information, as RFIDs permeate every facet of everyday life

Whereas a couple of years ago Canon might have described this as a mini camcorder, it now describes it as a compact multimedia DV camera. Certainly by comparison with the others in this month's labs it's not mini, however it does manage to pack a lot of features into a relatively small package. It is an upright camera rather than the longer, squatter shape of the MVX250i and weighs 43 grams less than its bigger but cheaper brother.

Superb print quality at consistently high speeds, and it’s packed with useful features too.

The Daily Telegraph once again places the equation of 'computer game = kill' in the spotlight.
