After years of using ink jet printers, we got this one with the HP Instant Ink program. LOVE this printer! It is so easy to use from the computer or my Android phone. The scan to email feature is really handy because then I can just forward the scan on to someone. Our old printer would always lose connection with the wireless network and we'd have to reboot it... but this one has never lost a connection. Highly recommend!

What's great about it: Fast, prints 2 sided, scan to email, instant ink compatible, print from mobile device, touch screen
What's not so great: Paper tray doesn't hold much
I would recommend this to a friend!

Enter an automatic ink-purchasing program with this HP Instant Ink enrollment card. Its initial one-month plan provides 50 pages of ink and includes a free supply for the second month, and unused pages automatically rollover for more cost savings. This HP Instant Ink enrollment card has no annual fees, and you can change or cancel your service plan anytime.

We signed up for this plan about 7 months ago when we bought the new Envy 5530. I was a little doubtful about the deal because it sounded too good to be true (and you know what they say about deals that seem too good to be true). Well, I'm now pleasantly surprised to say this one lives up to the bill!
We signed up the day we got the printer and HP mailed us a welcome kit. As promised, they didn't start charging our monthly rate until we put the new cartridge in (which took a couple months).
The new cartridges seem to print better quality than the ones that came with the printer. I LOVE that you can monitor your pages printed on the instant ink website. You can even view past print jobs or scan jobs. HP also sends a “warning email” when you get close to your allotted pages to help you manage the use. We have gone over by a few pages each month and happily paid the extra $1 for more pages. The nice thing is that un-used pages (up to a limit) are rolled over to the next month so you don't lose them.
It sounds funny, but it seems like we enjoy printing more now. What I mean by that is if we want something printed, we just print it. We used to hesitate because it would use too much ink... so we may try and go into the settings and select "draft mode" so it wouldn't use as much ink (which resulted in a poor printout). Or when my kids want to print something colorful like a picture or something I would cringe at the amount of ink it used... I now respond, "go for it'... it all costs the same.
In addition, we are going to save a TON! That's $36 - $48 per year to take care of all our printing needs!!! We used to spend over $120+ on print cartridges and then tried to conserve (as explained above) and just generally didn't like to print anything.
We have enjoyed this service so much now that we set my parents up with the same printer and service. Don't have any negatives to point out at this time. However, I'll update this if I do run across any.

I was a bit hesitant to buy a case because I love the beauty and slimness of the iPad2. However, this case has been a fantastic fit. It is low profile while extremely functional. Has 3 different positions that are all comfortable and useful. I highly recommend this case.
What's great about it: leather, slim, functional, good looking, protective

After reading many reviews, this router consistently received excellent reviews for speed and reliability. It has won several awards as well. So, I went ahead and took the plunge, knowing that Best Buy would let me return it if it didn't work out.
I unpacked the router and had it setup and working in a matter of minutes! The instructions were very easy to follow in setting up my password protected network.
As a "techie", I wanted to dive into all of the setup options. I was impressed with the level of advanced options available. I went ahead and added a password protected guest network. Often, we have 11 devices all connected at the same time and the performance has been excellent.
It has been running smooth now for a few months with no reboots required. I've been happy enough with this purchase to take the time to write a positive review... hopefully you find this helpful in your research.
