Summary: Which Printer Should You Choose?

Choose M15w Black & White Laser if you need:

  • A print-only device with a lower weight of 3.8 kg and smaller basic dimensions.
  • Lower power consumption at 210 W while printing and 0.4 W in sleep mode.
  • Environmental credentials including ENERGY STAR, EPEAT Silver, and Blue Angel.

Choose MFP 136W Black & White Multifunction if you need:

  • Printing, copying, and scanning in one device, with a flatbed scanner and a 40-sheet ADF.
  • A higher print speed of 20 ppm compared with 18 ppm.
  • Up to 1200 × 1200 dpi print quality and 128 MB of memory.
  • A replacement toner yield of 1,500 pages compared with 1,000 pages.

Decision: The MFP 136W is the overall winner because of its multifunction capability, higher performance, and greater toner yield. The M15w may suit users prioritizing a smaller, lighter print-only device with lower power consumption.

What Is the Difference Between HP LaserJet M15w and HP LaserJet Pro MFP 136w?

Both printers use monochrome laser technology for A4 output, provide a 150-sheet input capacity and up to 100-sheet output capacity, and support IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, AirPrint, and Mopria. Neither model includes an Ethernet port.

The main difference is that the M15w is print-only, while the MFP 136W combines printing, copying, and scanning, with a flatbed scanner and a 40-sheet ADF. It also prints at 20 ppm instead of 18 ppm and reaches up to 1200 × 1200 dpi instead of 600 × 600 dpi. Its 128 MB memory, 600 MHz processor, and 1,500-page replacement toner yield exceed the M15w's 16 MB memory, 500 MHz processor, and 1,000-page yield. In contrast, the M15w weighs 3.8 kg rather than 7.46 kg and consumes less power while printing, ready, and sleeping.

The M15w benefits users who mainly need wireless black-and-white printing in a compact, lightweight device. The MFP 136W better serves users who also need document copying and scanning, along with higher speed, memory, and toner yield.
