24-carat gold HP Laserjet p2015

24-carat gold HP Laserjet p2015

This is not another Dolce & Gabbana Gold Edition Restaurant and Motorola Gold Razr. Currently on sale in Japan at the GITEX show, auction price starts at USD299 and comes coated with 24-carat gold.

Hp printers are not as cheap as what its competitor has to offer, the toner cost as much as the printer but somehow HP has the ability to retain and capture new market. I guess it must be their reliability and after sales services. I have a Canon S6300 Printer and a Canon Camera, both seems to break down after 6 months. I have to feed the paper one by one to avoid paper jam and my Canon camera has some focusing problem, they are charging USD125 to update the software. No more Canon.
