Strengths: Fast warm up time, print speed is surprisingly pretty fast, easy installation and network ready. Does not take up too much space.
Weaknesses: Noise level is a bit on the high side but its not too bad. Paper does curl slightly but thats no big deal. I was required to manually entered the IP for the print server;IP was not obtained from DHCP
Setup was a breeze; Unpacked everything, pop in toner/drum unit, plug in power cord, connect printer to network via cat5 cable, insert driver cd and within minutes I'm done. Print quality is great even in toner save mode. If connected via network cable, printer can be configured via web browser which is very convenient(just enter printer IP address into browser). Also when accessing/changing printer setting through web browser, it required login/password entry to certain configuration pages. I find this feature a definite plus, especially if there are other users on the network(for security reasons, and prevent unauthorized modification of printer setting). It is very fast when printing and the warmup time only took seconds (2-3 secs). If one does not have a network setup, that wouldn't be a problem because it also have the option to connect to computer via parallel cable or USB. No USB, parallel, or cat5 cables are provided, so make sure you have atleast one of these to connect your printer. This printer is perfect for a small home network. For the price, it is definitely a bargain. I would purchase another one if I ever happen to need a cheap network capable laser printer. Box contents contains: Printer, power cord, toner/drum unit, setup manual and driver cd.
