Apple MacBook Air (11-inch, June 2013)
Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: The new 11-inch MacBook Air manages 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]

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.

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.

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.
