5.0 out of 5 stars So far, ver good., November 17, 2001

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.

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.

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.
