No CNET review. Any experience with this?

I got the Konica Minolta 1600W color laser printer for $50 two weeks ago at Fry's. It was $189 in store on sale for $139. Online for in store pick up was $99 on sale for $49. I placed the order on line and the confirmation email said their were none available. I thought it was strange that they allowed you to place the order but the confirmation email said there were none available. So I went to Fry's, found the printer, took it to the register, and showed them the web site confirmation (but not the email saying there were none available). They sold it to me for $50 and when I checked the web site at home, it was no longer available. Some people say it was a pricing mistake. So I got a color laser for $50 and it prints very sharp and colorful images, unlike the ink jet it replaced.

Nice move #2. My brother multi-function (490cw) inkjet has pleased me, but I don't print a lot of pictures. I don't know what your toner costs would be, but the LC61 inks for my printer are dirt cheap. Just bought two black cartridges, and a color set for $14. I know, not laser. But for inject, and wireless, it does a really nice job.

I guess the point I wanted to make is figure out the printing costs before buying any printers these days.
