Nope. My 55€ Canon inkjet is larger then laser printer from Samsung for 70€.
> Cheap inkjets are cheaper than cheap lasers.
Nope. Cheap lasers are in the same ballpark as cheap inkjets (50€$). The major difference is in toner/cartridge consumption and exchange interval. A laser toner can last significantly longer then inkjet cartridge and isn't prone to damages of no regular usage.

Absolutely correct and this also brings an answer why people choose those inkjets : "ah, I rarely print anything, so I'll have a device to print everything".
But it differs if you calculate the cost of inkjet cartridge drying out/printing problems with non regular usage. Technology on laser toners doesn't have such limitations.
