The honest take: If you print black-and-white documents every week and want a no-nonsense laser MFP without paying for wireless or duplex you won't use, this is a solid pick. The lack of Wi-Fi and ADF is the main trade-off — if you need either, step up to the 135w or 137fnw.
This is HP's entry-level mono laser MFP — print, copy, and scan in one compact box. It's built for home offices and small workgroups that need reliable black-and-white output without the fuss. No wireless, no automatic document feeder, no duplex — but the print quality is sharp, the running costs are low, and it just works.
