Apple Reviews

The Extreme Airport Base Station is in theory a step up in speed from the Graphite and Snow stations. Speed is now up to 54Mps, but real-time tests will show much slower speeds and most people will never realize the speed difference over the graphite and snow models because even broadband cannot equal the top speeds of the new station. But, you still need 802.11g, then keep reading.

The new stations come with two Ethernet ports and use the 802.11g frequency in addition to being downward compatible with 802.11b stations, cards, and networks. So, you can have an extreme base station and an older airport card. The speed will be limited to 11 mps, but it works.

The stations come in two models. The more expensive model also has a dialup modem and can be used to DIAL IN into networks when you are on the road or outside your home or office. This is a big advantage over the Ethernet model and should justify the extra [$$] or so. At least Apple lowered the prices to [$$$] and [$$$], but they are still overpriced compared to like models. However, if still have a dialup connection and need a network at home or for a small business, the modem model would be hard to pass up.

One drawback to the Extreme stations are range. They are limited to 50 feet, whereas, the Graphite and Snow stations have ranges of up to 150 feet. The Extreme models can be outfitted with externel antennas (to extend range) from Mac specialists Dr. Bott or others, but this comes with an added price. Unless your computers stay within 50 of the base station you will need an antenna.

Another problem that some people have experienced is interference with phones and microwave signals. Apple recently updated the firmware on this Station to help with the problem. Some early stations also had problems keeping the signal. The updated firmware is supposed to solve this as well.

Overall, these stations in theory are faster and the price is almost the same as the Snow station. However, there have been problems with firmware, interference, and the short range. Problems that firmware should fix (sans the range).

Although, the range is not considered a problem (and firmware won't fix that), but a short-coming. If you need to be on the 802.11g frequency and you love Apple for their easy solutions and setup, get this station.

This station also works well with Windows PCs and Windows users should not shy away just because it has an Apple logo.

Compare with D-link and Linkys 802.11g routers and base stations.

Apple makes cool stuff, no doubt about it. But one of their coolest products is the Airport Extreme system of wireless internet.

Using the Airport Extreme Base Station, in addition to an Airport Extreme reception card in your computer, you can move all around your home or office without the messy clutter of ethernet cables or connection equipment.

Setup is a snap using the included instructions. Within minutes you'll be surfing the web and accessing data wirelessly.

The only setback is the relative sensitivity of the Airport system. It doesn't like being near other computer components or going through walls. But, when push comes to shove, the unit does its job.

Ease of use makes this the best choice for mac users.

Considering that this is an older model from HP (HP discontinued this model and suggest to buy Photosmart 145 as an alternative), this is a good printer. It does pretty well what it promises to do - print quality 4x6 photos. The printer is easy to set up and easy to use. It accepts different types of digital memory cards and is pretty fast in printing - less than 30 seconds to print one photo. The quality of the prints is as good as regular camera prints - your friends wouldn't tell the difference unless you tell them. The one inconvenience with this printer is the non-availability of print preview facility on the printer - you have to note down the serial number of the image (by viewing on the camera) before inserting the digital memory card into the printer. Overall, this is a good printer for the price you get it.

The hp photosmart 130 has the quality of a photoshop. I got it for 150 dollars thinking what the heck. But when I tried it out it was more like wow, this thing is tight. It prints fast, crisp, clean pictures off your memory card. It's very simple. You stick your card in the correct slot, and the printer will read the images. The only bad thing is that the pictures are numbered by the order that they are on the memory card. So you have to know that. BUT, there is an alteritive. You can select a range of pictures that you think the picture might be in, ex:(1-27) and then it will print out little thumbnails of those pictures with a number under it. Then from that you can decide the picture number you want to print. BUT, it is sometimes hard to determin what picture it is that you want because it is so small.

PROS-
-Inexpensive Ink
-Great Price
-Easy to use
-Quality
-Quikness
-Sturdyness
-size

Cons-
-thumbnails are often too small

i got this printer to start a photo studio in my house, and i live out of te city and all the people i took a picture, are happy whit it. i am workin whit this printer so, i tink is one of the best i have. also have lexmark 6170 all in one and works great too. the ink last me a lot. have more than 100 shots and still almost at half. i sold all the pict. and share whit some family , all are in love whit this printer. another thing. i dont use glossy paper. starting using ferrania profesional satin is the best paper for photos. try ferrania and youll remember me.

This was a great printer...Crisp clear graphics and text. But it just recently started printing "foggy" lots of fuzzy text. Then the black stopped printing altogether. The color printed fine but NO BLACK. Not exactly helpful for printing papers. Canon help desk was very quick getting back to me about the problem. Probably a bad print head, but it should be taken to a fixit shop to get checked out. Fixit shop wants $75 just to look at it, which is applied to the first hour of labor if we have it fixed. Print head runs about $45. I can buy a whole new one for that! I would by a Canon again but definately get the extended warranty.

Buy the comparable ink from Carrot Ink.com. Cost alot less. Refilling doesn't not work with Canon. This was my 2nd Canon and refilling the cartridges didn't work with either.

I'm happy with the print quality from this printer for pictures (and the borderless option is great), but I've found that the printer utility software has too many limitations. You can not fine tune the settings to get the machine to print the way you want it too. Even when you select the manual adjustment setting, it often will not allow you to switch to the highest quality settings, etc. Another limitation is that the ink levels have to be reset manually every time you install a new cartridge. With my old Epson printer the controls could easily be adjusted in the software, and the ink levels were automatically read and adjusted by the software...no manual resets required.

My other complaint with this printer is that it seems to make a lot of extra "noises". The actual printing is relatively quiet, but when it's not printing it will sit there and make all kinds of noises like it's processing information or something. My old (4 yr.+) Epson printer was much "louder" as far as the physical printing, but at least when it wasn't printing it didn't make extra noises.

Luckily I got this printer for free thanks to a rebate offer, but had I actually paid for this printer, I would have returned it. I would recommend going with an Epson printer over this one based on the utility software performance alone. However, for novice users who just want to print pretty pictures and word processing files, they'd probably be pretty happy with this printer.

after reading about several different printers, i settled for this one and am absolutely amazed at the awesome print quality!!! I've never had a photo image look better than a film processed picture EVER!!!! Every pic turns out great and you can't beat the price of the ink cartridge.. approximately $7 for black and $18 for color.. THE TANKS LAST FOREVER AND I'M used to paying double for my old Lexmark cartridges... THROW YOUR OLD PRINTER IN THE GARBAGE AND RUN TO BUY THIS PRINTER!! AWESOME!!!!!

let me address this "noise" issue i've read in other reviews.. this printer is extremely quiet compared to my Lexmark z-22... i wouldn't consider it a loud printer at all... it does shuffle when it's done printing a page, but it's hardly noticeable.. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRINTER!!!!!

As an HP-only printer owner over the 15 years I've been using the PC, it was a natural for me to again go to them when I upgraded my 1MP digicam to a 4MP. I've had nothing but great performance and reliability from these machines!

The upgrade to the HP 7150 Photosmart was a no-brainer. I did anguish over whether to go with the Canon i850, as I have worked in consumer electronics for the past 6 years, so I know my way around printers, and know the Canon's rep for quality.

Anyway, the printer was incredibly easy to set up and get running! I set it up for max quality and photo ink, and the first photo was STUNNING! I noticed a few peculiarities that bothered me, though:

- Prints were coming out curled at 4x6 AND 8.5x11. I want my prints to come out as flat as the paper they're printed on.
- In my opinion, the printer is WAY too noisy for my taste. My wife and I work opposite shifts, so I have to print the occasional job while she's asleep --- well, WAS asleep!

Overall, I love the 4x6 paper tray, and the HP name. I'm sorry to say, though, I will be returning the 7150 in exchange for a Canon i850. I will miss my nice, quiet 722C(the printer I'm replacing) - hopefully, the Canon won't let me down...

My HP 7150 prints nice photographs. The quality is very good, but I have had a lot of difficulty getting 4x6 sizes of paper to feed properly.

Also, business letters are important to me and I can't get envelopes to feed properly.

It has been frustrating not having availability of free customer service.

I will probably replace this unit with an Epson in the near future.

Put the old camera & film in the attic for nostalgia sake! Get a 2 MP digital or higher and print your photos with this printer! The 4"x6" tray is a plus for album & framed prints and the 8x10 tray is fine for multiple prints on one page (called albums). I use desktop publishing programs to create collages of pictures as well. The photo print quality of the HP is magnificent! People who see my photos cannot believe a printer produced them with such vivid color and clarity. I have made "memories" CD's using my cdwriter and imported background music for the "slide shows". The HP software does it all - follow the directions. User friendly and the ink goes a long way! Don't pass on this one - I paid ... only 3 months ago and it's worth much more -it's on sale so run for it! Print only what you like and you will LOVE what you print!

This is a cute little printer. It has what all of the other mini-photo printers lacked. The LCD monitor. I picked one of these up for a client who traveled all over the world and didn't want to buy 20 memory sticks for her digital camera. This little machine does the job. With 4800x1200 line resolution and the fact that you do not need a computer to run it, it is a great pick for anyone who wants quality while he or she is on the move. The one disadvantage (I can't call its inability to print text a disadvantage, it was designed as a photo printer), is the fact that it uses the number 57 color ink cartridge instead of the 58 photo tank. . . The 57 is like 10 bucks more, and the photo tank has longer lasting ink. But overall, for the purpose of mobility, this printer does what it is supposed to do. It is a good piece of equipment and I think that it is pretty sturdy. The face folds into the printer for easy transport and so the print tray doesn't sustain damage in transit. It takes all of the major digital media: Compact Flash, Smart Media, Sony Memory Stick, and Secure Digital. Thus far they do not use the new format used in Fuji Film cameras.

If you have the money, and space is not a concern, consider the HP 7550. It is a fully functional printer and uses the number 58 photo tank in conjunction with the 56 black and the 57 color. If cost, space and transportability are a concern, then this is your printer. My complaints are actually pretty minor in comparison to the quality of the product, they just happen to stand out a bit, I still give it four out of five stars. . . It does exactly what it is supposed to and the quality of the pictures is top shelf!

I purchased an earlier version of this printer last year along with my first digital camera. It is identical to this with one less port for memory cards. My camera was a 2 megapixel Olympus D510 so I did not intend to enlarge my photos beyond 4x6. This printer offered small size and ease of use, which appealed to me at the time. The printer does not need to be connected to a computer to produce high quality 4x6 images - as close to photos from film as you can get with 2 megapixels. I now have a three megapixel camera and the prints are even better.

This printer is so easy to use. Just plug it in, add paper, insert the smartmedia, compact flash, or memory stick into the appropriate slot, select the number of the photo you want to print, press the print button and watch a beautiful photo emerge from the printer. It weighs only 3 pounds and can be easily transported anywhere. I take it on vacation with me (in a soft sided, padded lunch box) and surprise my friends with instant copies of photos.

The are only a few drawbacks for this printer. First, photo paper and ink cartridges cost a lot so your photos will not be cheaper than outside processing. I try to purchase in larger quantities to reduce the cost and I use cheaper paper for less important prints. The second drawback is the inability to view the photo on the printer prior to printing. You'll have to jot down the photo's number from your camera screen. And, of course you can't crop or modify your prints on this printer, but that's not really different from developing photos at the store.

As for durability, as I said, I've had this printer for almost a year, have taken it everywhere, printed hundreds of photos and never had the slightest problem. It's a great little printer!

If you want to print a few high quality 4x6 photos on the spot without a PC, this is the printer for you. I recently attended a family reunion and before the punch bowl was empty everyone had a photo in their hand and a smile on their face. It is very easy to use. Just load any type memory chip and press print, or you can select the photo, adjust the contrast and crop the photo using the color screen. Get near photo lab results in a little over 2 minutes per photos.

I think I was really awed when I scanned some black and white negatives, and got a positive for it and then adjusted the contrast and brightness, bringing out details that were not evident when I originally took the photo. I have also scanned color negatives, and made prints. I got it primarily to archive my extensive slide collection. I found that one of my slides had a scratch across a person's face. Using the sophisticated tools available with the program, I used multiple scans and the finished copy is scratch free. When using the 4000 dpi scanning setting, be prepared for some really large files. If one plans to get this, and one has a lot of material to scan, getting the largest available hard drive would be recommended. I plan to archive my slides to hard disk drive, then transfer copies as lower sized jpg files to a CD ROM. My only wish was that the program would have a way to put annotations on the copied slides; I am using a separate program to do that. I have found that my scans capture even the tiniest detail of the original slide, and one cannot ask for more than that. Some might think it a bit pricey for a scanner, but it does a fabulous job as a dedicated scanner.
I wished they had provided a complete written manual; the detailed manual is on their provided CD-ROM, in Adobe acrobat format. The Abode program is provided, but it is 153 pages long and takes a bit of time to print. A shortened manual is provided, and covers most of the essentials so a complete manual printed out is not essential.
The software with the scanner is very easy to use and the tools for adjusting the scans are interactive.
If one is using XP on their computer, an updated progam for XP is available..., and is about 15MB as a zip file. I recently scanned a 32 year old Ektachrome slide taken under the worst possible conditions (indoors, incandescent lighting, with the outdoor film). It always had a yellow cast to it, which it normally would under those conditions. Upon recent scanning (to preserve it before it lost everything) it showed embeded dirt and scratches. I used the digital ICE, and it came out sparkling clear, and the drapes which looked like yellowed newspaper became a crystal clear cream white, as it was in the room where I first took the slide. I have also scanned old slides that were badly faded, and restored the color and luster.

After using a Nikon LS-1000 for two years and constantly being frustrated with the scanner's poor performance on slides, I was blown away by the first scan I did with my Coolscan 4000. The colors were right on, the density nearly perfect and best of all, no more processing artifacts thanks to the Digital ICE. I used to have to spend 15 minutes carefully cloning out those little dust spots and other defects on every high-res scan. Now I can concentrate on scanning rather than retouching.

The sharpness of the images are noticeably improved, which I attribute to the ED lens. The color saturation is wonderful and shadow detail is excellent, even on a constrasty slide.

I use a Coolscan 2000 at work and the 4000 is definitely a huge improvement over that scanner. For the [price] difference, the 4000 is the one to own.

The Digital GEM and ROC are worth that price alone if you have slides or negatives in which the color has shifted. It is absolutely amazing this software restores these old images. I had some very red chromes from the 70s that it restored to full color.

While some reviewers have complained about the sharpness of negative scans, I have not found this to be a problem. And Nikon includes the option of using a film holder rather than the negative adapter for scanning.

In short, this scanner is the one to beat. I can't imagine 35mm film scanning getting any better. This one is a keeper, a real workhorse for the photographer who wants to bridge film and digital with a high-quality scanner.

After downloading the Nikon Scan 3.1.2 updated version [the CD version with the purchase comes with the 3.1.0 version] from the Nikon Tech website the communication between my XP OS and my scanner have been flawless. Using Photoshop Elements to manage my images after the scan is effortless since after the 4000 completes its scan there is not much enhancing left to do in Elements. The files can be large [64MB] if you so choose, but the image quality, especially slides, are excellent. My 5x7 and 8 x 11 prints on my HP 990 printer are wonderful. The 4000 is expensive, but the quality behind the Nikon name is there. The ICE and the resolutions make scanning and editing your own prints a great digital color lab.

I've had this printer for a year. I have both a Mac running OS X and a PC running Windows XP. This printer is flawless with Windows XP, but doesn't even work sufficiently with Mac OS X. If I attempt to print from Adobe on my Mac, the printer takes 30 minutes for a single page. If I try to print a web page it will take 15 minutes per page and sometimes print screen shots rather than the web page. The Mac works fine with other HP printers, but the 1200 SE is a complete bust. No matter what software or solutions I try, the HP 1200 SE will not work properly with the Mac running OS X. I'm very dissappointed with this product. HP promised a solution 12 months ago. Apparently, that was a lie by HP and now I have a printer that can't be returned. I will never buy another HP printer as a result of this experience.

After using the HP Laserjet 5L for 6 years, I decided to upgrade to the 1200. I love it. It's fast, economical (tone save function) and expandable if your needs grow. I'm a one person business user, so I elected to add the copier / color scanner. This permits scanning and directly emailing docs. Also, OCR and FAXing directly. Wow!!

As usual, HP is superbly reliable, although supplies are no bargin (I'd never use gray market toner to save pennies).

Some folks complain about no printer cable - go to a retail outlet - no cable there either. It's standard practice, not deception. HP has captured the laser printer market through there very common 11 years mean time between failures of the printer frame (excluding the toner cartridge), excellent quality, and competitive cost per print (~2.2 cents per page with 1200 series), and speed 15 pages per minute. The copies this little guy produces are as good as the local copy shop!

I'd buy HP again without hesitation.

A solid "introductory level" laser printer that has features normally found on much more expensive machines. I've used an HP Deskjet 500 for years and finally got tired of the incredibly expensive inkjet cartridges and of the "refill kits" that usually either don't work at all or end up leaking all over the inside of your machine. The laserprint technology is definitely the way to go in terms of ease of use, cost per page and print quality. I will never go back to inkjet.
I have been using this machine for about four months and have no complaints whatsoever...it works perfectly every time.
The only warning I would wish to extend to users is that in the event you have difficulties installing the included software, try rebooting your machine without drivers running and then running the install....this software seems to be highly sensitive to that, at least it was on my WIN 98SE machine.
Other than that, the machine was easy to set up and is a breeze to use, completely dependable in all respects.
...

This is my second HP deskjet and I'm pleased with the printing quality of both (the other is an 895Cse). I bought the second printer because I have two computers in separate locations.

After using the 990Cxi for a few weeks, if I had to do it over, I think I'd buy the 970. I don't use the automatic paper sensor option very often (how often do you switch papers? and oh by the way, manual switching involves 3 mouse clicks), I use the wireless printing option even less so the only thing left is speed. for $100 more, Hmmmmm.

The last little Gem that you'll discover is the cost of the replacement (color) cartridge for the 990 (or 970 - same one). At Costco or Sam's Club they are $50 for the large (c6578a) ones.

Still, the printing quality is excellent even on plain paper. With photopaper you can't tell the difference between real photos and the printed copy. Photo Ret II (or the newer III) is the way to go.

Having said all of that, I still like these HP printers.

I just hooked this printer up last week after receiving it as a gift, purchased right here at Amazon. The free shipping made it the best price on the net at the time of purchase a couple of weeks ago. Win XP found a driver right off the bat, but you should install the latest driver from the HP web site as I did for the best performance. Smooth Installation!! I have an HP952C that I have been using for a couple of years now. The output of this HP990CXI is basically the same as the much older 952C for photos printed in 1200x2400/best mode on photo paper. (952C now only costs around $125.00 if you look around) It uses the same model ink tanks as the 952C.

This printer really stands out on the output speed. Don't believe the speeds you read in ads or even on the box. Those speeds are in draft mode output. I print most of my text in draft mode now with this 990CXI on (standard copy machine paper)and you would have thought it came right out of a laser printer. I could not believe that! Very nice job HP. Speed and quality even in draft mode, but that is for black and white text only! Any other printing you do should be set to normal for great output but there goes the ppm output speed. It falls to a much slower rate. I have been a digital photo freak for a few years now. The only way to print great looking photos on either of these printers is to use photo-matte or photo-glossy paper. The speed is noticeably faster than the 952C when set on 1200x2400 / best output. But not an extra $160+ worth of speed over the 952C cost. I prefer the matte paper as it dries quickly, never leaves any finger prints from handling the pictures and just looks better in my opinion.

CON: The 990CXI is suppose to automatically select the printer paper for you. Paper, best settings etc. for the print job at hand. This printer FAILS HORRIBLY in doing so. Horrible, Horrible, Horrible.. This printer driver and or printer gets an "F" in that department from me. May be a new driver when released will cure this set back, but I would not bet on it.

Besides the above mentioned complaint, this printer is an excellent choice for the home or small business user that demands superior quality in their printing needs. I gave this 990CXI a 4 out of 5 star rating due to the fact that the paper selector does not work and I did not have to pay for it. If I had to pay my own money for it I would have gave it a 3 out of 5 stars. Why pay hard earned money for something that does not work as advertised?? I would wait a year or so for the price to fall $100.00 less than it is now before I spent my hard earned money on this printer. The price will fall quickly, as they always do in the computer industry. If you want to be able to say that you have the latest and greatest speed wise (sold as not networkable, but it can be done with extra hardware) printer HP has to offer, this is for you. Hope this review helped.. From a fellow techie to you. Happy Holidays!!

Well I've had this printer for over a year, along with another I purchased for a gift and they have yet to let us down. I don't print very often but when I do I am still amazed at the quality and speed (considering the price point). The ink cartridges also seem to last a good while. My only complaint is uncertainty about the amount of ink remaining; Sometimes the HP Toolbox is just wrong. I'd like a definite way of knowing how much ink is remaining, but other than that I am still happy with this puppy.

I own about 3 Orb drives now, and find them very useful. I have both the USB and SCSI ones, and I find them, for the most part, equally fast. Sometimes the USB one gets slow, but then I disconnect it and reconnect it and it works fine. I use them on a daily basis to synchronize ALL my work files (about 1.2 gigs) using Laplink, then I take the small Orb disk home and work from the Orb disk while at home. It sure beats carrying around an 8 pound laptop every day. I run it on Windows NT, Win98 and Win ME computers. It is certainly much cheaper than ... Jaz 2GB disks, and since a rewriteable DVD costs about ..., it is fairly comparable in price to them as well (although some RW-DVDs can hold 5+ GB). One important catch: NEVER use the eject button on the front of the drive to eject the disk as it can corrupt the data--always eject the disk using the right mouse click-->eject option.

I have been for several weeks a very proud owner of Orb (Castlewood Systems) external drive USB with a room for back up of an amount 2.2GB! I mean, I can really now back up items on the same disk that would have required several 100MB disks or even 250MB disks, not to even mention timy 3-1/2 squirts. And the beauty of it? You don't need a SCSI connection or parallel connection - it's a very convenient USB connection. Having more USB goodies, I have it connected to multi USB hub. Count the bytes & you'll discover how cheap it is in dollars per bytes to have Orb 2.2 GB. Well, I cannot praise it enough but I have to congratulate Castlewood Systems! That company surely made my day in a big way! Carl Hodek

I use my ORB 2.2GB (USB model) bought in 2001 in England to back-up my laptop's hard drive. I found it very easy to install under Windows 2000, the O/S detects the drive automatically which appears as a removable hard disk in Explorer.

Performance is good, I usually back up around 700MB in 20-25 minutes, certainly I don't feel it to be too slow. I have travelled internationally several times with my ORB and a few disks without experiencing any problem.

The main issue I had was buying other disks in England in 2001 when Castlewood was supplying the US market first and most shops across the ocean ran out of stock. I wish those disks were more widely available, they are impossible to find in Mexico for example.

I did a lot of due diligence before buying the IRIS Pen II Executive Scanner, including all the other pen scanner products on the market. I was initially a little put off by the fact you had to attach it to a computer via a USB cable to work. FWIW, I am using it with MacOS X 10.2.6 and a iBook.

I have had it for over a month now, purchased in July 2003, and I LIKE it. I have primarily used it to scan text from photocopies of journal articles. These are clearly not the highest quality text material from which to scan, but nevertheless, the IRIS pen handles them acceptably. By that, I mean, I get around 85% accuracy. This clearly means, I have to go back and retype things, but still, I am able to capture large quanities of text to use *in a very rapid fashion*. Like one of the previous posters, I do tend to use it like a highlighter.

As a word of instructive advice...it may be difficult to figure out how to hold the pen. Just try different positions and your hand will develop 'memory' in holding it correctly, such that it captures text.

I guess my overall experience is neither the 100% success that others have had, nor the despair that a few have faced. I would certainly buy this product again.

This is not so much a review as a heads up to the reviewer (Roy Herron) who said it was useless to him because he scans on colored backgrounds. You can adjust for background color on the Executive model just for this purpose. You said you bought from a seller, so I'm guessing that you didn't get all the documentation with your purchase. So, call ReadIris Tech Support (1-(561)-921-0847) and they can tell you how. I use mine for scanning barcodes when packing books. Makes it easy to keep track of what's in each box.

If you're looking for a fast and accurate handheld scanner, I strongly recommend the IRIS II Executive.

I first bought the Quick Link Pen from Wizcom and got incredibly frustrated by that product's slowness and ridiculously poor accurary. I ended up returning my Quick Link Pen and getting the IRIS II Exec instead.

The Iris II Exec is incredibly fast and more importantly incredibly accurate. I can scan faster than I would with a highlighter and I rarely get mistakes. I'm a Biochem Grad Student and I scan a lot of words that wouldn't seem easily recognized, but the IRIS II works like a champ.

Even though, the Iris II Exec is not portable, it's accuracy and speed make up for it in leaps and bounds. The company's claim of 99% accuracy is pretty on the money. I type 80 wpm and scanning with this pen is far faster than typing.

If you're looking for a Handheld Scanner, this is by far the best choice.
