Good printer, but is its niche big enough?

I have experience with HP's small desktop LaserJets all the way from the Laserjet 4 to the 400 Pro, with mostly positive results. This unit is a new design, targeted at users who need occasional printing, but don't like the page yields they get from an inkjet. Lasers have a higher acquisition cost, though, so could this thing save you some money in the long run, or is it a device without a market?
My impressions thus far have been very good. It's a good-looking printer, and the pages it prints look great. Photo prints are about what you would expect from a laser - inaccurate midtone reproduction being the biggest problem. The scanner, however, is excellent. It's fast and quiet, much better than the OfficeJet I used previously. The ability to scan directly to a flash drive is a plus, and it saves documents as a PDF by default. Setup is easy, although you do have to download the software from HP's website to your PC.
Cons? Well, it can't do legal from the tray, and the tray capacity is only slightly bigger than most inkjets. The toner cartridges are small too, but if your page count is a couple thousand a month you'll want a business-class unit anyway. Other minor quibbles include the fan noise when it's running at full tilt, and the fact that it goes into "sleep" mode after a while, which turns the WiFi antenna off. This is a setting that you can modify up to 8 hours - but not CANCEL - which is a known gripe on HP's forums.
I still like this printer a lot - it's a good quality product from a reputable nameplate - and recommend it if it meets your needs. Small business owners may want to go up one level in the HP lineup. Home / home office users who prefer or need color laser printing may find it a viable option. I did.

Good value on a mechanical drive.

Runs quiet and much cooler compared to the 320GB WD Scorpio Blue it replaced. No issue with partitioning and loading Win7 on it. Larger cache makes a huge difference, even though the computer I installed it in runs a SATA-II controller.
I have used Toshiba drives for years in my Macs and found them to be excellent quality. They may have slightly lower throughput on average than a Seagate or WD unit, but I've never had to RMA one.
Got this on a special buy deal, which made it an easy sell to the customer over a much smaller SSD. Coupled with a RAM upgrade, I expect the solution to keep them happy for years and the drive will easily outlive the rest of the computer.

need a new printer that uses ink #564, the old printer is a 4622, and I just bought new ink. pls help
If you mean the HP 564 series cartridges, then the HP Photosmart 5520 will take those cartridges. You may be able to find one of those still for sale.
I was never impressed with the page yields I got from the 564 series cartridges, though, so I wouldn't continue to invest in printers that used them.
