Verdict: The DCP-L2640DW is the best overall because of its multifunction capabilities, ADF, and higher memory. The HL-L2461DW may suit users who only need printing and prioritize a smaller, lighter device.
Both printers use monochrome laser technology for A4 documents and deliver print speeds of 34 pages per minute with resolution up to 1200 × 1200 dpi. They also share automatic duplex printing, a 250-sheet input tray, Wi-Fi Direct, AirPrint, Mopria, Brother Mobile Connect, and support for TN2500 toner cartridges and their higher-yield variants.
The main difference is that the DCP-L2640DW is a multifunction printer with printing, copying, and scanning, including a CIS scanner and a 50-sheet ADF, while the HL-L2461DW is print-only. The multifunction model also has 256 MB of memory and a two-line, 20-character LCD, compared with 64 MB and a one-line, 16-character display. In contrast, the HL-L2461DW holds 150 output sheets instead of 120 and is notably lighter at 7.1 kg versus 11.4 kg, with smaller overall dimensions.
The DCP-L2640DW benefits users who need to scan, copy, or process multi-page documents. The HL-L2461DW suits users whose work is limited to monochrome printing and who prefer a smaller, lighter device without sacrificing the shared print speed or resolution.
