This review is from: Brother MFC-8680DN High-Performance Laser All-in-One Machine with Networking and Duplex (Electronics)
After getting a Macbook Air and finding out that my HP OfficeJet 845xi was not supported (what does that say about HP), I decided to buy a Brother MFC-8680DN and what a pleasant surprise -- I took it out the box, plugged it in and it worked, no questions asked. Recently, I changed my network and it caused problems connecting to my MAC laptop -- I called Brother and got brilliant support and what a pleasant surprise -- they directed my support call to a tech specialist that specialized in both Brother and Apple -- what a pleasant surprise -- HP is done selling me printers.

Great print speed (32 ppm!), very good print quality. Legal size flatbed scanner. A workhorse of a machine for a small office and a really great price (though I did find it cheaper at my local Costco). Reasonably priced refills on the 8,000 high capacity copy toner cartridges mean that the cost-per-copy is superior to most other brands.
This is a solidly built machine, not a flimsy feeling hunk of plastic like some other brands I might mention (HP, Xerox Phaser series, Samsung). This was my second Brother printer to replace a different brand (this one replaced a substandard Xerox Phaser multifunction machine, and my HL-2170W replaced an HP Laserjet 1020). Brother is doing it right, and in my opinion, is the best small business printer/MFC manufacturer these days. I've shopped around for a long time and tested a lot of machines before buying, and Brother was the best I saw.

Brother 8680DN Review,

I bought this all in one to replace a high end HP that I bought 8 years ago. Installation took less than 15 minutes and that includes loading the driver. The main reason I choose this unit was the ability to scan to a PDF and have the file either emailed to me or deposited into a file on my computer. I took about 15 minutes to figure out how to configure the email but once I located the proper set-up screen it was a snap. The network feature works seamlessly with all four of our laptops (one is a MAC) and only required 5 minutes to install the driver. Print/Copy functions are easy and fast. I haven't tried the duplex yet but I consider that a bonus. The printer came with the high volume toner cartridge (8000 copies) compared to the standard HP 1000 copy starter cartridge. Price at Costco was just $349.
