HP Envy 110

HP Envy 110 review

HP only slaps the Envy tag on its luxury products that come at a significant price premium, but which also offer design features to leave you drooling at the mouth.Most of the products in the Envy line-up are premium laptops, but a few printers have made the grade. The latest is the Envy 110, which is an all-in-one model that will set you back a hefty £250. It's not often you come across a printer that you can say looks truly gorgeous, but that's very much the case with the Envy 110. Standing just 102mm high, the printer is not much taller than most flat-bed scanners. It's finished in a tasteful combination of glossy white and matte cream, with brushed metal highlights on the scanner lid at the top and paper feeder at the bottom.Best of all, the panel that holds this model's 3.5-inch touchscreen display is motorised. When you start a print job, it automatically rises up and the paper out tray folds out into position, ready to accept the printed results. When you hit the power button to turn it off, the paper tray folds away again into the body of the machine and the screen panel automatically folds down flat against the body. Impressive stuff. The front of the printer houses both a USB port and a memory card reader, so you can print snaps directly from USB keys or memory cards.
