  Product Reviews: HP Laserjet 2840 All-In-One
  By Jason Saundalkar
  
  Review summary: Printing our text and image PDF document for instance, the HP took 186 seconds to get the job done, which translates into a speed of 1.9ppm (pages per minute) - the slowest time we recorded in this test. It was also the slowest model in our 20-page monoch
  
  Verdict: Though it's capable of producing quality prints, the 2840's niggles cripple its print performance making it unsuitable for demanding environments.

  By Lisa Cekan
  
  Review summary: Stylish design and versatile networking can't save HP's poor-performing color laser MFP.
  
  Pros: Built-in media card readers, Extensive software bundle
  
  Cons: Slow print speeds
  
  Verdict: The media card slots and the extensive image software make the 2840 attractive for offices that print lots of photos, but its pokiness and mediocre image quality will incline many prospective buyers to steer clear.

  Pros: High-quality output for a color laser. Four-function all-in-one for printing, scanning, copying, and faxing. Includes Ethernet connector. Fifty-page ADF.
  
  Cons: Exceptionally slow performance for a color laser.
  
  Verdict: Hewlett-Packard got almost everything with the HP Color LaserJet 2840 All-in-One. Output quality is among the best we've seen for a color laser at any price, and the scan, fax, and copy features cover all the important bases.
