Lexmark Unveils Wi-Fi All-In-One Printers

Lexmark wants users to snip the USB cables tethering them to their printers with its new line of Wi-Fi enabled all-in-one machines, announced on Tuesday. The Lexmark x6570, x7550, and x4850 allow users to print, scan, fax and access media cards all through a conventional Wi-Fi connection.

All of the new printers feature automatic two-sided printing and the ability to use Lexmark’s evercolor2 inks, which the company claims will last 100 years when used on their proprietary PerfectFinish paper.

The $149.99 x6570 can crank out 28 pages per minute (ppm) in black or 24 ppm in full color. For large jobs, it even has a 25-page hopper for automatic copying or faxing with the 48-bit scanner. The x7550 is an upgraded version of the x6570 that allows it to push out 30 ppm in black or 27ppm in color, and also adds a 2.4-inch color LCD screen for standalone use. These features tack on another $50 to the printer’s price tag, pushing it to $199.99.

The x4850 sits at the same $149.99 price point as the x6570, but includes the LCD and faster print speeds of the x7550. However, it lacks some of the x6570’s more business-oriented features like the 25-page hopper and built-in fax capability.

All printers except the x7550 are on sale now via Lexmark’s Web site.

To make sure that you're able to take advantage of this offer, you're going to have to push through with the transaction as soon as possible, while stocks are still available.

Why you should buy the Dell Inspiron 24 All-in-One PC
The primary reason why you'll want to go for all-in-one computers like the Dell Inspiron 24 All-in-One PC is to eliminate clutter on your workstation. With a 23.8-inch Full HD screen built into its body, you remove the need for a cable that connects the monitor to your desktop computer. Every purchase comes with a wired keyboard and mouse, but if you replace these with their wireless counterparts, the only cable that you'll have to deal with when setting up the Dell Inspiron 24 All-in-One PC would be its power cord.

Wi-Fi makes it easy to connect your laptop, smartphone, gaming console, and more to the internet without the need for pesky cables. However, folks with large homes that span multiple floors have probably run into reception issues in rooms far away from the router. Wi-Fi routers work best across short distances – meaning far-flung rooms or outdoor locations might not be able to properly connect to the internet.

Thankfully, you can use a second Wi-Fi router to boost your signal throughout your property and eliminate dead zones. Here's a look at how to extend your Wi-Fi range with another router and the DD-WRT router firmware.
