The 5570 is the latest colour laser to join the established magicolor family. With a quoted top speed of 35ppm for mono and 30ppm for colour, it looks capable of satisfying high-volume workgroup printing and uses Konica Minolta's Simitri HD polymerised toner technology, which claims to deliver superior print quality.

The HP Photosmart C5280 shows how good design can tame an inherently complicated machine. This inkjet multifunction printer has a few limitations and a mountain of benefits , all available for under £100.

The digital age has altered forever the way we take and view photos, not least because of the speed at which the final image can be produced and then passed on to other media.

Often, this price difference is directly proportional to the amount of memory the computer has. This makes sense too. The more memory you have on a computer, the more you will be able to do with the programs and other processes.
