Apple MacBook Air (11-inch, 2013)
Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: The new 11-inch MacBook adds a phenomenal 10-plus-hour battery life; base $999 model finally has 128GB SSD; still compact and comfortable to use.Bad: New CPUs don’t really boost performance over last year’s Air; still lacking SD card slot; 11-inch display’s not as high-res as competitors.Bottom Line: Apple’s new 11-inch Air goes a conservative route in 2013, emphasizing longer battery life and more affordable pricing over any big design changes. The battery boost alone might be worth it. [Read more]    

Vevo (Android)
Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: Vevo has an extensive catalog of premium, music-related video content. Creating an account isn't required, but doing so gives you playlists and more.Bad: Videos restart if you leave the app or receive a phone call. No search button or artist info on video page.Bottom Line: For watching music videos, live performances, and other music-related content, Vevo is arguably the best app on the market. [Read more]    

LG Envoy II (U.S. Cellular)
Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: The LG Envoy II has an extremely easy-to-understand interface and several shortcut buttons to launch frequently used applications.Bad: The Envoy II has a grainy display with a narrow viewing angle, the headset jack is nonstandard, and the power/end button is inconveniently located.Bottom Line: With its low-end specs and mediocre camera, the Envoy II isn't worth buying -- especially since the Samsung Chrono 2 comes in at a cheaper contract price.

Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: Sized for small-to-medium hands, the Canon EOS Rebel SL1 delivers the expected photo and video quality in a comfortable and well-executed design.Bad: It's pretty slim on features.Bottom Line: While the Canon EOS Rebel SL1 is a perfectly reasonable entry-level dSLR, you can get the same photo and video quality in a smaller body for the same money (or less) by opting for a mirrorless interchangeable-lens model.

Linksys PLEK500 Powerline AV2 Gigabit Network Adapter Kit
Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: The easy-to-use Linksys PLEK500 power-line kit supports the new HomePlug AV2 power-line standard and offers sustained speeds three times that of a regular Ethernet connection.

Sony STR-DN1040
Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: The Sony STR-DN1040 is the most feature-packed AV receiver you'll find at this price. There's built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and AirPlay, plus eight HDMI inputs, which is more than any of its competitors. It also sports a truly modern user interface with crisp, high-definition graphics. And the sound quality is fittingly excellent for a premium AV receiver.Bad: It's somewhat expensive and more than what most buyers need. The included remote is cluttered with buttons, sure to put-off nontechies. And Sony's automatic speaker calibration wasn't quite perfect in our listening environment.Bottom Line: The Sony STR-DN1040 is a truly first-class AV receiver, boasting tons of wireless technology and a pretty user interface, at a premium price.

Apple MacBook Air (13-inch, 2013)
Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: New Intel fourth-gen CPUs help the updated MacBook Air achieve amazing battery life. The multitouch trackpad is still the industry's best, and even better, the 13-inch MacBook Air now starts at $100 less than the previous model.Bad: Newer features such as touch screens and higher-resolution displays are still missing. The ultrabook competition is catching up, in terms of design.Bottom Line: Apple keeps the latest MacBook Air updates on the inside, but greatly improved battery life and a lower starting price make up for a lack of flashy design changes.

Office Mobile (iOS)
Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: Office Mobile for iOS has an intuitive interface for making quick edits to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents on the go.Bad: Limited features mean you're not getting the power of Office 365 on your iPhone, so you shouldn't have to be a subscriber to use the app.Bottom Line: Office Mobile is worth downloading if you're a current Office 365 subscriber, but with only basic editing features, this app should be free for all.

Ustream (Android)
Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: A rich community of users (professional and amateur) make Ustream a unique destination for streaming-video content. Camera button and home screen widget make it a snap to broadcast your own videos.Bad: Don't expect high-resolution video with the Ustream app. It's difficult to add users to your Favorites list on the Android tablet version, and there's no way to edit video details on either version.Bottom Line: For watching live video streams and broadcasting your own content, Ustream is clearly a top choice.
