Epson Workforce 600
The WorkForce 600 is designed for a single user or at most a small group of users. But when you need to print, you probably want to go with a faster, toner-based system with a larger paper handling capacity.
The ink option
Not every company has moved into the powdery world of toner cartridges for printers.
Panasonic KX-MC6040
The KX-MC6040 would keep a small workgroup extremely happy and could produce some amazing text documents with good color.
Lexmark X782e
The Lexmark X782e is the only multifunction printer in the review that could easily drop into a large workgroup setting and satisfy everyone.
Brother MFC-9450CDN
The 9450 prints flawless text, and can be trusted to print your best text documents, even those enhanced with spot color or graphics.
Oki Data C5550n MFP
The C5550n is a fine MFP but probably not for much longer. The market is evolving fast, and the C5550n needs to innovate or be left behind.
HP Color LaserJet CM3530
Hewlett-Packard’s Color LaserJet CM3530 is an extremely speedy multi-function printer in the midprice range. Graphically, it’s the best printer in our roundup.
Colorful language
Multifunction printers are reaching new heights in combining fast, high-quality text and color printing with their features and other functions. The GCN Lab tests eight MFPs suitable for small, midsize and, in at least one case, even large workgroups.
HP Color LaserJet CM2320
The fastidious CM2320 is a decent MFP with a good printer, scanner and fax machine for the price, unless you need it to do a lot of color printing.
The few, the proud, the best
The GCN Lab picks the best half-dozen products from among the hundreds reviewed in 2008, and selects one as the Best Products of 2008.
GCN Lab Review: Olympus Stylus 1030 SW
With a $399 price tag, you won't find a better deal on a tough little camera that takes amazing photos in any conditions you can think of, on land or at ' and under' sea.
GCN Lab Review: Getac PS535E
Many government workers need a computing device in the field, but might not necessarily need a full laptop computer. The Getac PS535E fills that bill nicely.
GCN Lab Review: GD Itronix VR-2
The VR-2 is an advanced vehicle-rugged unit, and probably one of the best in the world in its class.
GCN Lab Review: Olixir Mobile DataVault 2LE Hard Drive
The Olixir 2LE is easily the most rugged drive we have ever tested. In fact, it comes with multiple levels of armor.
GCN Lab Review: Verizon Wireless G'zOne Boulder
There are a ton of interesting things to do with the G'zOne Boulder, so much so that the menus can get a little confusing.
GCN Lab Review: Panasonic Toughbook 19
The toughbook line has become almost synonymous with rugged laptop PC use in government. And the Toughbook 19 continues this tradition in the form of a convertible tablet computer.
Rugged individuals
GCN Lab review: Seven diverse, military-ready devices prove that practically any product can get tough.
Bringing everyone to the table
Microsoft RoundTable's panoramic view gives everyone an equal place in videoconferences.
Moving pictures, on the move
Samsung's Q1U-CMXP puts an emphasis on multimedia applications with its big seven-inch LCD screen and HD-quality audio.
Recovering _rased _iles
Undelete 2009 saves everything that is deleted, keeping it safe for as long as the disk space holds out, which means you almost always have plenty of time to try and recover your files.
