CNET Review
The Good: Improved photo quality prints; incredibly easy desktop software installation; tons of editing features; large touch screen; small footprint.
The Bad: Slower-than-average prints.
The Bottom Line: The HP Photosmart A636 is an excellent at-home photo inkjet printer that's both versatile and easy to use. We highly recommend the A636 for its significant photo quality improvements over the last model and an attractive design to boot.
