“The printer follows the current HP PC group design in that it
is largely black with silver accents. It looks much more modern
than the current line, though is still a little boxy compared to
Samsung, which leads the class in design. It is a 3-in-1 design,
which means it prints, scans and faxes.”

“But what sets the HP printer apart is a large iPhone-like
display on the front that runs atop a Linux-based platform that
connects it to the cloud. Using an HP TouchSmart-like interface,
this operating platform is then connected to a variety of
software-as-a-service and/or cloud-based applications, which add
more functions.”
