But is it worth all the hype? This detailed review of the HP Tango X will help you decide if this cutting-edge printer is worth giving a try. We'll look at the features, specs, and pricing to help you decide if the Tango X is the right choice for you. Let's get straight into it. 

HP Tango X Product Overview

The HP Tango X is a new line of printers that are specifically designed to bring convenience and ease to your workflow. How does it do that? You might be wondering. So were we before. Well, this is a wireless mobile printer, and it is designed to work primarily with mobile devices. Providing you with an "on the go" type working experience. That does not mean you can't use it with desktops; you can.

Also, the HP Tango X is innovative and has many exciting features, making it great for people who are always up for trying new things.

Design And Build 

The HP Tango X is a portable device with a sleek look and rounded edges. You get three color options to choose from - black, white, and red. It comes with a fabric wrap, which is woven it wraps around the printer, giving it a book-like look. However, we have doubts about its implementation as the fabric wraps make this printer feel a bit unattractive.

With the paper tray closed, the printer measures 3.6 x 15.3 x 9.7 and weighs just 7.5 pounds. This small form factor makes it compact enough to be placed on a desk or table without cluttering the space. 

Connectivity

The Tango X is a printer intended to be used by mobile users on the go. That is why its main focus is on wireless connectivity. The printer connects wirelessly to your home network via Wi-Fi.

It has a USB port, just in case you are not happy with it being mobile. You can import images and files or print directly from a USB drive or flash drive. This printer also comes with Bluetooth connectivity, which means you can print directly from your smartphone, tablet, or computer.

You can use HP Image Assistant to send photos directly from your smartphone or computer, and You can also send documents and files directly to the printer via the HP Printer Remote app. The best thing is that The HP Tango X is "voice-enabled," so you know where it is heading. Being able to command this printer to print from a distance, just by your voice, would make your life a lot more convenient.

Performance And Output Quality

Speed and print quality are certainly not the USP of the Tango X. It can print at a maximum speed of 11ppm for monochrome and 8 ppm for color.

This printer can print on various paper types, such as glossy, photo, matte, and more. It also has an HP paper smart paper capability, which allows you to print on the backside of a paper for creative projects like gift tags, signs, and more. The printer has a maximum paper capacity of 50 sheets; this certainly shows this printer is not a super high speedy printer.

The printer has a built-in scanner, which can scan documents and images at a resolution of 1200 x 2400 dpi (making it an all-in-one printer). The overall specs are good for a portable printer, but the print quality though is okay. It is fine for casual work, but one should not expect anything high-quality.

Price And Running Costs

The HP Tango X printer is available at a retail price of $199. The pricing is good for a portable device. This printer has an estimated annual running cost of $20, based on an average of 15,000 pages printed per year.

The initial purchase cost of this printer is high, which is replicated in the relatively high running cost as well. You may want to consider other models that have a lower initial cost in case you are concerned about the price but similar running costs.

Conclusion 

The HP Tango X is a great printer for a mobile printing experience. It has a sleek design and loads of innovative features that make it stand out from the crowd. This printer has a decent initial purchase cost but a good enough running cost, making it a bit on the costlier side. The Tango X is a great choice if you are looking for a printer with a variety of features, but you may want to consider other models if you are looking for a more cost-effective option.
