If you're in need of at-home printing but you don't want to deal with the upfront cost of buying a printer or the hassle of purchasing ink cartridges when they run out, then HP is offering a plan that might be perfect for you.
HP's All-In Plan is a convenient service that leases you a printer for a low monthly fee. Never run out of ink or printing supplies. You’re always ready to print with ink and optional paper delivery before you need it. There are several plans to choose from, with each offering a different printer and print allotment depending on your needs. The monthly print allotment is flexible, rolls over and can easily be updated on a monthly basis if needed.
The four recommended plan tiers are as follows:
The "High Volume" plan is marketed as the best value. It includes the HP Smart Tank 7602 all-in-one printer (retails for $470) and up to 100 pages of monthly printing. At $12.99 per month, it's not much more expensive than the "Basic" and "Versatile" plans. The one caveat is that it requires a three year commitment compared to two years for the other plans. Fortunately, HP offers a 30-day trial period during which you have the option to return your printer.
The big question is whether or not HP's All-In Plan is worth it in the first place. We can first break this out monetarily. The "High Volume" plan will run you $12.99 per month for 3 years, or a grand total of $467.64. As mentioned above, the printer you get retails for $469.99. That's about the same cost, but there are other factors to consider.
By buying the printer outright, you could probably find a discount. For example, it's currently on sale at Amazon for $349.99, saving you $120 right off the bat. Also, after 3 years, you'll still own the printer so that you can use it for many years after. If you subscribe to the plan, then you're out of a printer after 3 years unless you re-enroll.
However, by signing up for the plan, you avoid having to pay $400+ instantly, which is replaced by a more manageable monthly fee. You also essentially get three years of 24/7 live support and warranty service, as opposed to just one year if you bought the printer outright. You don't need to pay for ink during the life of the subscription. This is important because ink refills can get pricey very quickly to the point where it's often cheaper to just buy a new printer. You're also not stuck with the same printer forever. After the term ends, you can either choose to continue using your current printer or upgrade to a newer, current generation model.
All things considered, it really depends on your situation. If you can justify the upfront cost, you plan to keep the same printer for more than three years, and you feel comfortable enough sourcing your own ink, then just buy your own printer. If you'd rather stick with the convenience of letting HP worry about the printer along with its refills and maintenance, and you know that you can stay within the monthly printing allotment, then it's worth checking it out.

Longtime Xbox head and Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer is retiring.
We broke this news earlier this afternoon, alongside the news that Xbox president Sarah Bond is also departing the company, with current president of Microsoft CoreAI Asha Sharma taking Spencer's place at the top of the gaming division.
While we've previously shared Spencer's internal email to the company, Spencer has since taken to social media to post a more personal message to the gaming community, thanking those who made his work "full of joy and wonder."
It’s rare in life to know when a chapter is closing, but after 38 years at Microsoft, that moment has arrived for me. I’ve made the decision to retire and begin the next chapter of my life. It’s a milestone that’s given me a chance to reflect on the incredible journey I’ve been…

Here's his public statement, in full:
It’s rare in life to know when a chapter is closing, but after 38 years at Microsoft, that moment has arrived for me. I’ve made the decision to retire and begin the next chapter of my life. It’s a milestone that’s given me a chance to reflect on the incredible journey I’ve been fortunate enough to share with so many of you.
I’m excited for [Asha Sharma] as she steps into the CEO role. She’s joining an incredible group of people; teams full of talent, heart, and a deep commitment to the players they serve. Watching her lean in with curiosity and a real desire to strengthen the foundation we've built gives me confidence that our Xbox communities will be well supported in the years ahead.
Thinking back to my start as an intern in 1988, I never could have imagined the path ahead. I’ve been lucky to work with so many passionate creators, partners, colleagues, and players across the industry; people who challenged me, taught me, and made this work full of joy and wonder.
Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this chapter. This community has meant more to me than I can say.
From here, I’ll keep doing what’s always mattered so much to me: cheering on the teams pushing this industry forward and playing alongside this incredible community. I'll see you online.
Spencer has, as stated, been with Microsoft fo 38 years, beginning in 1988 as an intern and joining the Xbox team in 2001, eventually being named head of Xbox in 2014. At the time, Spencer's task was to set the division on course again after a series of product and policy decisions that had left the Xbox community frustrated. Spencer has been known throughout his tenure as one of the few gaming executives in the industry who was himself openly a gamer, often playing with community members and showing off his various achievements in Xbox games over the years.
Spencer led initiatives such as the launch of Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Play Anywhere, numerous accessibility achievements, and oversaw the release of the Xbox Series consoles. He also instigated numerous studio acquisitions, beginning with Playground Games, Undead Labs, Ninja Theory, and Compulsion in 2018 and capping it off by picking up Activision Blizzard in 2022 for $69 billion. In recent years, he has continued to steer Xbox amid growing criticism of the brand for its lack of strong first-party exclusives, ongoing price increases, and decreased value of Game Pass.
Spencer's retirement will officially take effect on February 23, 2026.
