HP Tango X

-

$219.99 From hp.com

At the slightly heavier end of the field, the Tango X weighs in at 120 ounces and is larger at 15.31 x 9.69 x 3.58in, though with an integrated fabric cover that disguises it when not in use. It’s the only model on test with no battery option and neither does it have USB. In fact it’s fully wireless, with setup and management performed via the HP Smart app. Wi–Fi direct is supported for use away from a network. Of all the models it’s the most slick to use, with many features whizzed through in a couple of taps of the app, which also allows scanning via your iOS device.

It’s capable of borderless color printing at up to 4800x1200 dpi and results are impressive. You get around 10ppm in mono and 7.5 in color and there are three basic hardware buttons for print, cancel, and info commands. The Smart app is very well put together, and HP offers an Instant Ink subscripti­on program to deliver more ink when you run low.
