Comparing the ML-2151N with an HP equivalent, the ML comes in at about half the cost of the HP. Not only this, but HP lists the duplexer and network card as options! Samsung calls these features standard. One thing that impressed me about the ML-2151N was the print quality: the text was dark and crisp. Comparing the print quality of the Samsung to my Okidata and the HP printer at my school, the Samsung comes out on top.
