hey I'm just in you for cnet.com this is a first look at the HP Photosmart 7520 II all-in-one so this was a slight upgrade to last year's model that's the 75 10 and it has almost all the same features for 50 bucks more so if you could find the 75 10 at a big discount say like under 100 bucks and don't plan to use the fax machine very much then I'd say go with that one but that 75 20 does have a lot going forward that makes it worth 200 bucks but let's take a closer look this one is a multifunction output device which is basically a fancy way of saying that it has a built-in fax machine copier and scanner in addition to the printer of course HP's recently stuck to a trend of putting touch screens on all their printers in lieu of hard buttons which may take some getting used to but at least they don't do it just for tech sake and you can link the printer to your computer using a USB cable in the back but the best way to do it is through a wireless network because then you can take advantage of all the cloud printing features so what is cloud printing well it's a way to print remotely using any web-connected device now when you set up the wireless connection you have the option of creating an ePrint account and it gives you the printers email address and you can then use to send print jobs over the air so for example if you gave this printer to a student to use in a dorm room you could use the email address to send and automatically print out family photos to keep them updated on what's going on at home there's also other useful features from the touchscreen and wireless connection the home screen lets you download various apps just like you would on a smartphone and hp's eprintcenter is the online hub for more apps you can download more apps and those include entertainment printouts like crossword puzzles and coloring pages for the kids but there's also various apps for news updates weather tickets and much more the big difference in a 7520 over the 7510 is the addition of the dedicated fax machine now the 7510 cut cost by including eFax instead of a phone line that eFax is a software utility that brings fax functionality to low-end models by sending documents over the Internet now the 7520 on the other hand does have a separate phone line but again if you're not going to use the fax machine anyway I suggest doing a search for that HP photosmart 7510 is the same model as the 7520 and probably get it for less you can check out more details in my for review on cnn.com but that's gonna do it for me I'm Justin you you just took a first look at the HP Photosmart 7520 EE all-in-one printer thanks for watching you
