HP Photosmart eStation C510a

 

The HP Photosmart eStation is a credible multifunction printer that performs on par with its competitors and is by all accounts an average, competent device… with one glaring exception that sets it apart: Its detachable Zeen tablet. The tablet works as...

Unique tablet interface offers intuitive UI, helpful printer settings, useful bonus apps ; Impressive photo printing, designated photo tray ; Bright, responsive touchscreen, Wi-Fi for portability ; Photo gallery service for showing off and printing photos

Lack of physical controls on eStation can be disorienting ; Loud ; Expensive – you’re paying for the tablet’s novelties, not an outstanding printer ; No USB port

In general, the HP Photosmart eStation C510a is a great multifunction printer and is especially ideal for family use.

HP Photosmart eStation C510 All-in-One Printer

 

The HP Photosmart eStation C510 includes a 7-inch Android tablet and lets you print via e-mail or mobile apps, but its performance could be better.

Even though $299 for a printer is on the pricey side, HP bundles an 7-inch Android tablet with its PhotoSmart eStation C510 for about $120 more than other all-in-ones. You also get HP's convenient ePrint service, Apple AirPrint support, and a iPrint...

Large, detachable, touchscreen control panel

High purchase price

Review: HP Photosmart eStation e-All-in-One C510a MFP

 

Fast, capable, and overshadowed by its detachable Android-based tablet control panel, this MFP offers a unique extra that may justify its price.

At a time when both tablets and Android are hot topics, however, the Zeen seems to be drawing more attention than HP may have desired. Whether the Zeen helps sell more Photosmart eStation mother ships is uncertain—especially at $400

HP Photosmart eStation

 

AWESOME! The Geek Squad will find fault with its android operating system, and they may come up with other problems they find, but as an average family looking for a cool printer and finding a tablet inside the box, this is great. If you can afford the...

The printer it self is a high quality printer, it scans, it faxs and you can browse the web.. But the E-station EXCELS with the Zeen tablet that comes with it. It has applications like coupons which you can print right from the tablet.It allows you to...

PRICE, it is pricey but if your in the market for a tablet and you can also use a printer, than save yourself the 599$ a tablet cost and buy the printer that comes with this tablet

Don't Buy HP Printers! ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE! Buy a Lexmark!

 

Please do not buy a H.P Printer! I have an H.P Photo Smart E-Station printer. It wasn't cheap, so I thought that it would be great. The printer jams most all of the time. It won't pull the paper through, and even with new ink cartridges, the colors...

Good looking system, and thats about it.

 

I was super excited to get this printer. The excitement didn't last long. The Zeen never loaded the weather. Which wasn't a huge deal, so I decided to live with that. The printer functioned nicely the first few times I used it. After that, when I would...
