Here is the review of Dell 1320cn network color laser printer. It is fast printing, sharp output, and cheap! Recommended!

However, the paper feeder was not working few months ago, and I was looking for a replacement printer — a network color laser printer. Yeah, not only network laser printer. I want to upgrade to “color” this time!

However, a color laser printer is not cheap, and even expensive with the network feature. Such printer would cost over RM1,000 (~USD$293).

Why Dell 1320cn network color laser printer?

Luckily, I found a great deal on Dell Malaysia — Dell Color Laser Network Printer 1320cn for only RM499 (with RM500 cash redemption)

Wow! That’s the price of a monochrome laser printer!

You might wonder, “A laser printer from Dell? How is the quality?”. Dell is so confident that they included a Dell vs. HP report to compare Dell 1320C to HP Color LaserJet 1600/2600N. In the report, Dell prints faster and has better colour output than HP Color LaserJet.

Without 2nd thought, I placed the order and received the laser printer few days later.

Pingtest.net is the new project of the popular bandwidth test site, SpeedTest.net. Unlike SpeedTest.net, PingTest is used to determine the “quality” of your Internet connection.

How Pingtest works?

According to Pingtest.net, the quality of your connection is determined by 3 factors:

1. Packet loss: the success rate of data packets to reach its destination from its source. The less loss the better.
2. Ping: the travel time of a data packet between source and destination. The faster the better.
3. Jitter: the variance in measuring successive ping tests. The less the better.

Pingtest rank the your broadband test result with A to F, where A is the best quality broadband.

Benefit of quality broadband

The better broadband quality, the better performance when you are accessing online stream data such as online video, online music, online gaming.

Pingtest result of my broadband

My broadband connection (TMnet Streamyx) got a Grade C. The Ping time is 92ms, Jitter is 48ms, with no packet loss.

How is your broadband quality? Let’s compare!
