Epson Intros World’s Fastest Inkjet

Epson Intros World

Imaging company Epson has announced its new Stylus C120, which the company claims is the world’s fastest inkjet printer, offering 37 page-per-minute speeds for black, and 20 ppm for color printing in draft mode. Of course, Epson is only comparing the C120 to inkjet printers available for under $160—but that’s not unreasonable considering the C120’s suggested price is just $89.99.

“People who are thinking about buying an entry-level laser printer will love the Epson C120 ink jet printer,” said product manager R. Craig Allen of Epson’s Consumer Ink Jet Printers group, in a statement. “This printer has not only the black text speed of a laser but also color printing and photo capabilities at a very affordable price.”

Epson is pitching the C120 to both families with substantial printing needs (think school papers and projects, driving directions, and the odd photo) along with small businesses who mainly print on plain paper but can’t justify a color laser printer for the occasional color document.

The C120 features individual color ink cartridges so colors are replaceable one-at-a-time, and the ink sets are good for both documents and photos so there’s no cartridge-swapping depending on what users are printing. The printer also features photo capabilities, including the ability to correct exposures, face detection, and color correction. The printer supports paper up to 8.5 by 44 inches, sports USB 2.0 connectivity, and is compatible with both Windows and Mac OS X systems.

Trying to buy a GPU in 2023 almost makes me miss the shortage

Two AMD Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards on a pink surface.

The days of the GPU shortage are long over, but somehow, buying a GPU is harder than ever -- and that sentiment has very little to do with stock levels. It's just that there are no obvious candidates when shopping anymore.

In a generation where no single GPU stands out as the single best graphics card, it's hard to jump on board with the latest from AMD and Nvidia. I don't want to see another GPU shortage, but the state of the graphics card market is far from where it should be.
This generation is all over the place

This tiny ThinkPad can’t quite keep up with the MacBook Air M2

While the laptop industry continues to move toward 14-inch laptops and larger, the 13-inch laptop remains an important category. One of the best is the Apple MacBook Air M2, with an extremely thin and well-built chassis, great performance, and incredibly long battery life.

Lenovo has recently introduced the third generation of its ThinkPad X1 Nano, one of the lightest laptops we've tested and a good performer as well. It's stiff competition, but which of these two diminutive laptops stands apart?
