What the HP LaserJet MFP M234d Printer Laser A4 600 x 600 DPI 29 ppm is worth

The HP LaserJet M234d multifunction printer combines mono laser printing, copying and colour scanning in a 7.6 kg unit. It prints at 600 x 600 DPI at a speed of 29 ppm in A4, with automatic duplex printing and duplex copying.

Against the market, its print speed (29 ppm, score 67/100) is sufficient but below the 31.5 ppm median. Its paper capacity of 150 sheets (score 57/100) and its 64 MB internal memory (score 45/100) are limited compared to market medians. On the other hand, its power consumption of 3.3 W in ready mode earns it a score of 86/100, very low.

It connects via USB and supports Apple AirPrint for direct printing, without Wifi or Ethernet. Its overall score of 63/100 makes it a choice for light home or professional use, with moderate monthly volumes (recommended duty cycle of 200 to 2000 pages per month).
