Apparently the CLX-3170 is the world’s smallest and quietest multi-function printer. We say apparently here because the last time Samsung told us they had a “first”, it turned out they were twisting the facts to suit the headline of their press release.
In any case, the printer measures in at 415mm x 360mm x 311mm, which does make it quite small. Noise levels are also restricted to 46dB, which is also fairly quiet. There’s also a direct USB interface so you don’t need to connect this to a PC, and it comes in both black or two-tone grey colours.
Does that make it the world’s smallest and quietest? Who cares? It’s definitely small and quiet – and with the price of rent soaring and my generation starting to get annoyed at the volume of “kids today”, those two features are highly desireable in any PC peripheral, let alone a MFP which costs $599.
