In today’s worlds small businesses need an affordable and effective color printer. Xerox heard their pleas and responded with the Xerox Phaser 6180N Laser Printer a printer made for small business. It prints 20 color papers per minute. Its tray can hold up to 250 sheets of paper. It works exclusively with Macs. Its resolution is 600X600 dpi (dots per inch).
Pros: It prints wonderfully and truly brings out the color of life. It’s made by Xerox, so you know it’s good.
Cons: It weighs almost 77 pounds, making it a lot heavier than some all-in-one printers. Also the fact that it only works with Macs is rather disappointing as well.
Conclusion: If you’re running a small business that deals with a more graphic orientated aspect of work, I highly recommend you buy this. However don’t waste your money on it if you’re only going to use it to print out reports and tables and statistics. That is like throwing slat into an open wound once you see what this guy can really do.
My rating: 4.5 out of 5

In today’s world we rely heavily on compaction, saving time and space. The HP Officejet Pro L7780 Multifunction Printer offers both you traditional printer, scanner, copier, and fax machine all into one simple to use machine. Overall I must say I’m quite pleased with this printer. It prints about 35 pages a minute, for both black and cmyk modes. The quality of the scanner and copier are suburb. The fax is an added bonus if you have the need for one. Calls over the fax are clear and quite nice if I must say so myself.
Pros: The printer and copier are very fast and accurate. The scanner has pin-point abilities picking up on the smallest details. The faxing capabilities are suburb compared to other fax machines.
Cons: The weight is the major problem with. It weighs close to forty (40) pounds making it very heavy.
Conclusion: It’s a must buy for the work office. My only concern is the weight, but that can be easily solved by just placing it on the floor!

Summary:
For the people that don’t want to spend $600 on the PS3 simply for the blu-ray drive, then they may be looking for alternatives to still get the most amazing picture ever for their movies. The LG Blu-ray Super-Multi Drive with LightScribe is the perfect blu-ray package to play any and all DVD’s you have. It is not only an HD-DVD and Blu-ray player, it is also a DVD burner that has a max of 16x write speed. The lightscribe function lets you make customized labels by etching it onto a special coated lightscribe disc.
Pros:
A great drive for the price, plays HD-DVD’s, Blu-Ray discs, and regular DVD’s, max burn speed of 16x and with the lightscribe technology, it’s also a home DVD creator.
Cons:
Really….none. Unless price is an issue. Another thing is that you’d want a fairly decent machine to run this and keep it cool at the same time.
Rating:
5/5 – Affordable price, great features, a real “all-in-one” wonder.

When it comes to good battery life for your laptop Lenovo delivers. Their newest product the Lenovo Lithium Ion Laptop Battery has a life span of up to 6 hours, which is quite good. The charge time is a mere 4 hours. It works with the Lenovo ThinkPad Notebooks Z60m Series T60 Series. I think we can all agree that the problem with laptops is the battery life. In fact portable devices have had a long line of history of problems with battery life and still to this day we are constantly looking to improve battery life. I’m happy to see that Lenovo has addressed the battery life issue and is constantly trying to improve the quality of battery life for their users.
Pros: battery last 6 hours, charge time is slightly more than 4.3 hours, light weight so it doesn’t add much extra weight to the laptop and comes with a one year warranty cause in a year I’m sure Lenovo will have a better battery out with a more improved life span this time next year.
Cons: well it only works with the Lenovo ThinkPad Notebooks Z60m Series T60 Series, so if you have a different series number you need to look elsewhere.
Conclusion: This is a must buy for anyone with the Lenovo ThinkPad Notebooks Z60m Series T60 Series. With its easy charge time and 6 hour battery life this battery knows how to stay up fighting to the very end.
I give this product a 5/5
