VERDICT HPs LaserJet Pro M28w is small and simple, but limited. Wed rather have an inkjet
IF YOUR IDEA of a laser printer is something too big, hot and noisy to share a desk with, HP’s LaserJet Pro M28w might be a pleasant surprise. It’s a multifunction peripheral (MFP) built around a basic mono laser printer, and the end result is about as compact as a typical home office inkjet MFP. With no vents to spew hot air, and a slow-ish 18 pages per minute (ppm) print engine keeping the noise down, it’s as easy to live with as laser devices get.
Politely, we’d suggest that ‘Pro’ is something of a misnomer for this strictly no-frills device. It has no automatic document feeder for multipage copies, no automatic double-sided printing, no fax modem, and just a basic, uncovered paper input tray. There’s also no front panel USB slot for walk-up printing or scanning with a USB drive, and no fancy control panel, just a set of buttons and indicators with a rudimentary LCD screen.
