Top Products of July

For a third month in a row, we’re featuring the most searched products on YouFindIt.ca in a rundown of 10. There’s a definite printer slant this month with a couple of notebooks and a monitor thrown in for good measure.

Konica-Minolta 5250214-100 Printer

Are your printer needs such that you need a REAL printer? We mean, an office-sized, high-quality, 16 PPM (pages per minute) beast? You might want to start your search (and possibly end it) with the Konica-Minolta 5250214-100. It may not do auto-duplex printing, but from the looks of it, it’s a workhorse printer for needs that fit between a full-sized laser printer and a small form-factor desktop model.

Panasonic KX-P7100 Printer

And if, say, you are looking for a smaller form-factor, but nearly as powerful laser printer, the Panasonic KX-P7100 might be worth a look. Unlike the KM, the KX-P7100 only does black and white, but if that’s all you need, there’s little point investing in a colour-photo printer. This will do your black and white faster and with less downtime or ink costs.

Gateway NV51B02h Notebook

If you’ve been following along month to month, you’ll notice a definite trend. Gateway’s NV series notebooks have made it every single month! The NV51 series are no different and boast 6GB standard RAM, HDMI out, a low-power consumption LED screen and 3, count-‘em, 3, USB ports.

eMachines eM355 Netbook

The eM355 may not have the hardware of the NV51, but that makes sense; it’s a netbook. That said, as an Atom processor-based machine, it’s got it 250GB hard disk, 1GB of RAM (plenty if you’re running Windows 7 Starter) and all the bells and whistles that’ll let you instantly get up and running for video chat.

Lexmark 21B0807 Printer

Another printer! But this one has got a black and white speed of 22 PPM and a whopping 4800 X 1200 max DPI (dots per inch). It also takes a whole host of different paper sources, from card stock to iron-on transfers, which makes it a nice choice for a home office.

Samsung Syncmaster 150MP Monitor

The Syncmaster 150MP is a standard monitor. Not HD, but Samsung is known for the quality of its screens, so if you need an SD monitor to run in its 1024 X 768 native resolution, this is still a good bet.

Panasonic KX-P7110 Printer

Seems to be a printer bent to this list. The KX-P7110 is a good standard black and white laser printer, capable of printing to 1200 x 600 DPI. It’s a little on the big side for desktop printers, but could serve well if large document printing is on your list of needs.

Gateway ID49C04h Notebook

Another Gateway notebook, but, for the first time, it’s not from its NV series. The ID series of Gateway notebooks sport a bit more hardware in the graphics department and a, get this, glowing trackpad. Besides that, the ID49 sports a 640GB hard disk, low-powered LED and 4GB of RAM.

HP Designjet 1050C Plus Inkjet Large Format Printer

This is most certainly NOT a desktop printer. The Designjet 1050C Large Format Printer is an industrial design-sized behemoth better suited to printing out blueprints and schematics or large birthday signs the length of your office break room. That said, if you do make a large format birthday sign, you didn’t get the idea from us.

Samsung ML-1520 Printer

Now, if desk space is at a premium, you might want to check out the ML-1520 by Samsung. It prints 15 ppm and stores 250 sheets but in a teensy white shell. That said, if you need to print on larger formats than 8 ½ X 11, you might want to keep looking.
