Detailed Review

The HP LaserJet 1020 Plus comes with a processor of 234MHz, which should provide you decent performance. However, 2MB of on-board memory can be an area of concern if you are a very frequent user. However, it is enough to get most everyday tasks done in high quality.

The fact that it is a monochrome printer makes it very compact, since it needs to fit in only one toner cartridge. The recommended monthly cycle for both letter and A4 sizes is up to 4,000 pages, which makes it more suitable for basic home and office use.

In terms of speed, it can generate up to 14 copies per minute, which is quite good too. The emission pressure generated by the HP LaserJet 1020 Plus printer is only 49 decibels, making it almost noise-free. There is a USB port that claims to have a response time of 10 seconds, ticking another box for efficiency. The device comes with a one-year warranty as well.

It is certainly not the best printer in the world but it definitely gives you more than what you pay for. A perfect fit for basic tasks, it is a perfect value-for-money product.
