Okay, so after YEARS of dealing with inkjet nonsense (looking at you, HP and Canon), I finally caved and got this Brother DCP-L2640DW laser printer. And let me tell you—it’s a game-changer... mostly.
The Good Stuff: First off, setup was stupid easy. Like, 'I-didn’t-even-need-to-yell-at-my-computer' easy. The print speed? Blazing fast. 36 pages per minute sounds like overkill until you’re printing a 50-page doc and it’s done before you can even check your phone. Also, the toner lasts FOREVER compared to inkjet cartridges that dry up if you blink wrong.
The Annoying Bits: Brother’s software is... aggressive. The installer tries to sneak in bloatware like it’s 2005 (looking at you, PowerENGAGE). And the WiFi setup? Took me two tries because the printer apparently naps mid-process. Pro tip: reboot it like a stubborn router.
Final Verdict: If you print mostly black-and-white and hate buying ink every month, this thing is gold. Just be ready to wrestle some software gremlins first.
