Performance is good with a score of 75, but the internal memory could be a hindrance for some users. The design, while functional, receives a score of 70 due to its weight. Features are valued with a score of 85, particularly due to print quality, despite the lack of color. The value for money is rated good with a score of 78, while usability, facilitated by its paper capacity and connectivity, scores 72, even though noise can be an issue in certain environments.Score details
