Panasonic KX-MB3020 "Spec Review"

Panasonic is launching a new desktop A4 b/w laser MFP, the KX-MB3020 offering:

- base MSRP of $499 (this is now the lowest priced device in its class)
- 35ppm top speed
- Copy/scan/print/fax
- Scans in color and b/w
- Auto duplex standard
- 520 sheet paper cassette
- Document feeder
- No info released on cost per page
- weighs only 21lbs.

Notes from Art:

At 21lbs. you can be sure that this unit will not last! How long? That's a great question! It is sticker shock to see a system of this speed resell for $499. But can it really handle an average volume of 5,000 pages per month for three years? Me thinks, NOT!, but don't take my word for it go out and get one and see if you spent your $500 wisely. Really, at $499 if the thing broke after 13 months would you pay to have it repaired at $150 per hour? Again, ME THINKS NOT, don't let the cheap price fool you, there's and old saying that the thought of a cheap price is long forgotten after poor performance!..
