The quality of this diminutive cutie is almost as good as the high-end models, but the price means a compromise on both speed and features.

HP has announced a completely new line-up of computers, printers and handheld devices for the Australian Christmas 2007.

The scanner is the only minor weakness in an otherwise near perfect home all-in-one

Quality, speed and a huge array of features go some way to justifying the price

It certainly isn’t pretty, but with results like these for such a low price the MP180 is hard to ignore

A slight speed boost and a new curvaceous shape keep Canon on top of the inkjet pile.

Plenty of features, but printing and scanning results proved average at best

An excellent all-in-one, particularly when it comes to photo quality, but it’s possible to get more features elsewhere.

Capable of reproducing good photos, but it’s slow, a bit expensive to run and has a poor scanner.

Looking similar to a retro portable radio, the PictureMate has a touch of style to it that is backed up by the overall quality of the product. At a buck under $400 it won’t appeal to everyone, particularly seeing as it’s a dedicated photoprinter, requires its own specialist photo pack and restricts you to postcard sized prints.

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

The Kodak EasyShare Printer Dock 6000 is a tiny photo printer-cum-camera dock for Kodak EasyShare CX/DX 6000 and LS600-series cameras. Although it's designed to print 4 x 6in borderless prints, the dock is capable of a lot more. The abundance of functions this dock can perform boggles the mind. Ranging from slide show streaming, three-hour camera Li-Ion battery charging, multiple print runs and PC file-synching, this printer does it all.

Print, scan, copy and fax with one single device. We put 10 all-in-ones through their paces.

Printing means more than just ink on paper. Find out how careful analysis can save you thousands of dollars.

A great scanner, but the poor printer and lack of networking limit its appeal.
