Summary: Great inexpensive scanner
Review: Had to dump my 4 year old Umax when I was unable to get the latest drivers for Windows XP. I had my doubt's as to what you get in this [less expensive]scanner, but I can tell you I was not disappointed! Was up and running in a matter of minutes and I really like having just the one USB cable to deal with. Unit scans at good rate of speed and the quality of the scans is fine for most applications. Overall, I am very pleased with this scanner and would not hesitate to reccommend it to anyone.

Summary: Just What I Needed
Review: I have had this scanner for about four months now and use it nearly every day with great satisfaction. It is easy to use and gives great results. I love the size of it too as it fits well into a small space.

Summary: Excellent Value
Review: I purchased an N676U for a budget system I built for a family friend. I had the system set up within 10 minutes. Truly easy to setup and easy to use, especially with Windows XP.

The N676U comes with all the hardware and software needed to get up and running, including a USB cable and all the software you need. Even computer beginners should be able to set this up. One BIG plus is that the scanner is actually powered by the USB cable! This is genius in my book (no seperate power cord/ugly power brick required)! I mean, who doesn't already have a mess of cables hidden behind their computers? Like I said, truly plug and play. Plug the USB cable in, install the necessary software, and you should be ready to go.

The scan resolution is relatively low (compared to entry-pro scanners), but then again, this system is not designed for professional graphic designers, it's for casual users who just want to scan pictures quickly and easily. Overall, a great piece of hardware that I would recommend to anyone looking for a quick scan on a budget.

Summary: Windows XP compatible: )
Review: I was a little skeptic when I ordered it, not sure whether it is compatible with Windows XP. To my surprise, it did include a driver CD for Windows XP. Unfortunately, it seesm to be the basic driver, I still need to download the newest TWAIN drivers from their website.

Once setup, this scanner is pretty easy to use and the scan quality is pretty good. The software package that came with it is just so so, but adaquet. Once you installed the TWAIN driver, you can just use your own softwares like Photoshop for more advanced graphics editing.

The whole unit is very thin, looks pretty nice from the outside. The connection between the lid and the flatbed is weak, so probably need to be careful with it. And it makes strange sound when you turn on the computer.

Summary: So far, ver good.
Review: Very easy to install, good bundled software ( no Photoshop LE if you're looking for that), very slim and space saving. It's a quarter of the size of the HP 4100C I'm replacing ( it died after 2.5 years). Inital results vary favorable. The USB power feature is very nice - cuts down on all those power supplies. Considering that these scanners are now only built to last a year or so, this is a good bet.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A very good scanner - can not beat for the money
Review: Very good scanner. Can not beat for the money. True Plug and play (Not like some stuff I have bought that says plug and play and hours later your still in the plug stage)lol. Very slim and not obtrusive. Slick design. Nice quality. Thumbs up.
