Quick Verdict
Great for: homework, tickets, receipts, boarding
passes, and simple color docs.
Why it’s worth it: tiny footprint, quick app-guided Wi-Fi setup, clean
text at normal settings, and very low purchase price.
Keep in mind: entry-level speeds and manual duplex (no
auto two-sided printing); paper trays are small, so it’s best for low monthly
volumes.
