Summary: Which Printer Should You Choose?

Choose M15w Black & White Laser if you need:

  • A print-only device weighing 3.8 kg with substantially smaller basic dimensions.
  • Lower power use at 210 W while printing, 2.2 W in ready mode and 0.4 W in sleep mode.
  • Wireless printing through Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct, with AirPrint, Mopria and the HP Smart App.

Choose 4103dw Laser Multifunction if you need:

  • Printing, copying and scanning, plus a 50-sheet ADF and a 2.7-inch colour touchscreen.
  • A 40 ppm print speed, compared with 18 ppm for the M15w.
  • A 350-sheet input capacity and print resolution up to 1200 × 1200 dpi.
  • Replacement toner yielding up to 9,700 pages and 512 MB of print memory.

The 4103dw is the best overall choice for functions, performance and capacity. The M15w may suit users who only need printing and prioritise a smaller, lighter device with lower power consumption.

What Is the Difference Between HP LaserJet M15w and HP LaserJet Pro MFP 4103dw?

Both printers use monochrome laser technology, support A4 printing and provide Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, AirPrint and Mopria. Each also includes USB connectivity and supports several media sizes and types, including plain paper, envelopes and labels.

The main difference is that the M15w is a print-only model, while the 4103dw provides printing, copying and scanning. It also adds a flatbed scanner, a 50-sheet ADF and a 2.7-inch colour touchscreen. Its print speed reaches 40 ppm versus 18 ppm, while input capacity rises to 350 sheets from 150 sheets. It also offers 1200 × 1200 dpi print resolution instead of 600 × 600 dpi, produces the first page in 6.3 seconds rather than 8.4 seconds and includes 512 MB of memory compared with 16 MB.

The M15w benefits users who need basic printing in a 3.8 kg device with 210 W printing power use. The 4103dw suits document workflows requiring copying, scanning, greater speed and capacity, and replacement toner yielding up to 9,700 pages. According to the supplied data, the M15w is available from EvoLink in Syria, while the 4103dw was unavailable when this comparison was created.
