  • It would probably be more appropriate to compare a brother inkjet… But yeah.

    FWIW if you’re reading this and you’re sick of wasting tons of money on ink because you just print a handful of documents in black and white every year … Get a Brother TONER-based printer. I bought mine almost 5 years ago and I’ve yet to have to change the toner or waste a single page on a bad print. When I need to print it just works, no “clean the cartridges” nonsense.

    Toner is just a better printing technology, both for high and low volumes of printing. The only people that win out on inkjet are maybe the rare folks that print like a handful of things every single week.

    Maybe for traveling. However, how many people really are going to buy an expensive electronic device for a few hours on a plane?

    That’s a pretty “upper class” luxury at best. Then, there’s nobody developing apps for it outside of a few streaming providers (maybe).

    Also, I work with multiple monitors all day and play games on those monitors at night, but I still appreciate that I can look away from the content and just “get up and get a drink” or look out the window and watch the birds outside of my office at the feeder.

    Also think about all this effort people put in to try and reduce their screen time… A VR headset is the antithesis of that objective.
