HP LaserJet P2015D Reviews

The LaserJet P2015D is HP’s solution for high speed printing in medium-sized workgroups. We received the non-networked version of the 2015D. The printer is designed beautifully and exudes style. It uses less desk space than older models with similar specs. The front panel has two buttons and a line of six LED indicators—pretty useful for quick error diagnosis. The printer comes with a deep 250-sheet paper cassette and the capacity can be augmented to 500 sheets via an option-al paper cassette. The output tray can hold 150 sheets, and the manual feed another 50 sheets. If you opt for the ver-sion with a duplexer unit, you can save a lot of paper by printing on both sides. If you want networking, you have to get the P2015n version, as the one we got only featured USB. Installation was simple and the driver CD had a Flash-based tutorial which will help anyone set it up. HP also provides a suite called as the FX tool box—an application to diagnose, maintain and administer any HP printer. HP claims a speed of 26 PPM, but we got 23 PPM—not bad at all. HP claimed a first print in 8 seconds, and they were right. The 35 MB combi-document took 14 seconds to print; because the printer has only 32 MB of memory. The photo-target disc took 17 seconds to print—slow. This printer only delivers speed when the prints are pure text or documents with low quality graphics. The print quality is exceptionally good. Toner density was perfect, spread was minimal and text appeared sharp. Fine details were well reproduced and graininess was absent even at the base resolution of 600 dpi. Graphics are not a laser’s forte and like all other laser printers, the P2015D gives acceptable image printouts. The cartridge is rated to deliver 2000 pages and it retails for Rs 3,265—approximate cost per page of Rs 1.63, which is expensive. At a price of Rs 17,499; we felt it should have had an Ethernet connection and a duplexing unit. Still, it’s a good buy for its good quality and just about acceptable cost per page...

Mercury HT 5800R Home Theatre 5.1 Channel System Reviews

Though this 5.1 channel system has a 5,800 watts PMPO, it has only 25 watts RMS for the satel-lites and 50 watts RMS for the subwoofer. The RMS power gives you an idea about the actual sound output that the system can achieve without distortion, whereas the PM PO output indicates the maximum out-put achievable by the system, albeit with distortions. The wires are long enough,and speaker stands and wall mountings are provided as well. One shortcoming is the ridiculously short power sup-ply wire. The system provides good performance and at Rs 7,000, it offers good value for money. The subwoofer is quite powerful and you can crank up the volume with-out experiencing too much distortion. If you’re looking to own a 5.1 speaker sys-tem, but are constrained by your budget, the Mercury HT 5800R offers a decent enough solution. How- ever, if you cannot settle for anything less than perfectsound, give this one a miss... SPECIFICATIONS : Four satellites at 25 W RMS, one subwoofer at 50 W RMS, w...

Mercury HT-4500 Reviews

The HT-4500 is a 5.1-chan-nel speaker set and each of the five satellites pumps out 6 watts RMS, while the subwoofer is capable of 20 W RMS power output. The black satellite speakers are compact and subwoofer. Also, the cable for the front channel speakers isn’t long enough for the speakers to be placed suffi-ciently far apart. The cable connecting the woofer to the soundcard is of the same colour, which can cause some confusion. The speakers give a good surround sound effect with reasonable clarity for a good home theatre experience and can also be connected directly to a DVD player. The performance in the low and mid frequencies is also good. However, the speakers are not built to listen at full well-designed, though a tad heavy. The subwoofer has the volume and fade controls on the front, which makes it dif-ficult to access these settings, as subwoofers are generally placed near the feet, with the front face ideally facing a reflecting surface. Another inconvenience is the power swi...

Che-ez Spyz Digital Camera Reviews

Spyz is slightly larger than a matchbox and comes in sil-ver and metallic blue. It bun-dles a dog tag and an USB cable, but oddly, misses the battery. The software bundle comprises the Che-ez manag-er, Arcsoft Photo Studio 2000 and the driver CD. The manual explains fea-tures such as sound beeps, LED and LCD displays very neatly. The device can take up to 26 photos in the high-resolution mode of 640 x 480 pixels, and 107 photos in the low resolu-tion mode of 320 x 240 pixels. Other features include a timer and continuous capture that turns the camera into a cam-corder. The Che-ez Manager also lets you convert frames into a movie in AVI format. The Spyz can also act as a Web camera when used with the Che-ez Manager or MS Netmeeting. However, some-times the manager does not recognise shortcut keys such as the [Alt] + [F4] combination for closing the program. The interface is also very basic and below par. The price tag may justify all the features of the Spyz, but the management software...
