The top five printers rounded up for recommendation here will fit into any home, home office, or SOHO setup easily. Best of all, we've tested them (or their similar models), so you can be sure of buying one (or more) of them that best fits your needs.
01 THE "SOHO OPTION": BROTHER MFCJ4540DW - $421.90
The Brother MFCJ4540DW. Don't let its dull looks fool you. We liked the Brother MFC-J4540DW so much that we awarded it the Best SOHO printer in our Tech Awards 2022.
First off, it has it where it counts for an AIO. It has an ADF, large LCD for easy status checks and control, two paper cassette trays to hold lots of paper, and a host of connectivity options.
Second, it’s no slacker when it comes to results. While it prints fast, it also prints well with the AIO also proving no slouch when scanning thanks to the ADF. The MFC-J4540DW uses ink cartridges rather than individual ink tanks. According to Brother’s website, replacement high-yield ink cartridges cost S$99 for both black and each individual colour cartridge with Brother saying that they can print 6,000 pages in black and 5,000 pages in colour. The default ink cartridges that ship with the printers can print 3,000 pages in black and 1,500 pages in colour. Despite the higher-than-expected ink replacement costs, the low base cost, good features and high-quality output over other contenders in the sub-$500 range won us over.
02 THE "GREAT FOR SMBS": CANON MAXIFY GX7070 - $889
Canon Maxify GX7070, a highly competent SMB companion if you don’t mind the price. This four-colour Canon Maxify GX7070 ink tank printer can be thought of as the big brother business edition of the Canon Pixma G7070 Ink Tank printer that was our Best Printer of 2020.

AN ATMOSPHERIC ATTEMPT
Taking on a remake of Konami's classic Silent Hill 2 was always going to be a daunting task. Enter Bloober Team, the studio behind other psychological horror titles like The Medium and Blair Witch. While those were solid efforts in their own right, Silent Hill holds a special place in the hearts of horror fans, and any attempt to update it was bound to be scrutinized.
BASIC, BUT COMPETENT
Following the success of the Nothing Phone (2) and Nothing Phone (2a), the company launched its sub-brand, CMF by Nothing, aimed squarely at the budget-conscious.
LENOVO YOGA SLIM 7X
The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x stands out in terms of build quality and design. With a thickness of just 12.9mm and weighing a mere 1.28kg, this laptop is incredibly portable.
COMFY, SECURE, AND OPEN
With the Nothing Ear (Open), the company has focused on elevating the open-fit experience with a stylish design, secure fit, and surprisingly solid audio quality.
The Emperor Of Mankind Approves
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 puts you right in the middle of the Imperium's most brutal battles, and it does so with an unapologetic embrace of its own absurdity.
