Kyocera FS-820 Review

By Ian Bell Updated April 2, 2005

Quote from the review:

“The majority of Kyocera’s product range is aimed at the SME business market, so it comes as something of a surprise to see the FS-820 pitch in at very much an entry-level price point. At this price it goes head-to-head with machines such as HP’s LaserJet 1022 and sits between Lexmark’s E232 and E330. FA Porsche has managed to take some of the square corners off this printer, giving it a curved top and a cutaway front face. The output tray in its top cover and the printer’s front are both coloured a dark slate grey, so it’ll tone in with either a beige or a black system.”

This $100 printer isn’t much bigger than the ink cartridge on your clunky old one

What if a printer could fit in a pocket and print on almost any surface? That’s the question that has more than 12,000 backers pledging over $1 million to push the PrinCube from prototype to production. Less than 3 inches on the longest side, the PrinCube is a one-line color mobile printer. Startup TheGod Things says the palm-sized printer is the smallest mobile color printer yet.

PrinCube is a handheld printer -- rather than feeding a sheet of paper into a printer, the user moves the PrinCube across the paper one line at a time. Because the printer sits on the surface instead of using a paper tray, the PrinCube can print on more surfaces than just paper, including cardboard, leather, metal, plastic, fabric, wood, textured surfaces, and even skin for a custom temporary tattoo.

The best webcams for 2023

Laptop webcams suck. If you're stuck doing Zoom calls or videoconferencing from your home, you'll need a decent external or stand-alone webcam, one that works for your preferred space. The Logitech C920S is currently our pick for the best webcam. It's affordable and provides crisp image quality. But if you need a higher resolution or a streaming-specific option, check the full list below.

Best microSD cards in 2023: top picks for your computer, camera, or drone

MicroSD cards are an unsung hero in the mobile space. They provide extra storage space for your smartphone, but they're also key in tablets, drones, and security cameras. Unfortunately, this feature is falling out of favor in the smartphone space, and most flagship and midrange phones no longer have a slot to insert a microSD card. Even the most expensive phones around, like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and the Samsung S22 Ultra don't have a microSD card slot anymore. You're not even safe if you have an iPhone or iPad, as they've never had microSD card slots.

But all is not lost! Some of the best Android phones and best Android tablets do still support them, and they're still required for use with cameras, security cameras, and drones. But no matter which device you're buying it for, you'll want to get your hands on a microSD card from a reputable brand.
