Samsung Series 7 All in One Review

Samsung's $1,100 Series 7 all-in-one tries to balance affordability and functionality but uninspiring performance and display quality concerns take it down a peg.

Barnes & Noble Nook HD Review

Barnes & Noble's Nook HD is a contender on many levels. It's not the tablet for everyone, but for people who devour books, magazines, catalogs, and more, it's a better choice than it's nearest competition.

Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9 Review

The Kindle Fire HD 8.9 is a good tablet for people deeply invested in Amazon's products and services, just like the 7-inch model. But even though the $300 price tag is low, that doesn't excuse the device's performance issues and uninspiring design.

Kobo Arc Review

The Kobo Arc's paired down hardware keeps costs low, and its well-designed Android skin makes interacting with it fun. Yet unlike the Amazon and Barnes & Noble's tablets, owners aren't limited to one store for e-books, apps, or media.

Asus VivoTab Smart Review

You'll be able to do more with the Asus VivoTab Smart than with an iPad since it runs full Windows 8, but not speedily and not without some frustrations with the interface.

HP EliteBook Folio 9470m Review

The HP EliteBook Folio 9470m balances portability and power with long battery life and proves that a business notebook doesn't have to be chunky and ugly. If only it had a better screen, this could have been our favorite new button down Ultrabook.

Dell Latitude 10 Review

The Dell Latitude 10 is a capable Windows 8 tablet that's hindered by slow internal components and a design that isn't in balance.

Lenovo IdeaTab Lynx Review

The IdeaTab Lynx is a middle of the road tablet. It's not great in any aspect, though it isn't all that different from most other Atom-based tablets, the Lynx doesn't distinguish itself or rise above the crowd.

Kobo Glo Review

The Kobo Glo's lighted e-ink display is better quality than the Kindle Paperwhite and the Nook with GlowLight, but the e-reader's other attributes may not be enticing enough to lure e-book lovers away from the big boys.

Samsung ATIV Smart PC 700T Review

Samsung's ATIV Smart PC Pro 700T carries a significant price tag and justifies it with good performance, sturdy build, long battery life, and a nice stylus. It raises the bar for Windows 8 tablets, but it's not as if that bar was too high to start.

Barnes & Noble Nook HD+ Review

The Nook HD+ is for people who want a streamlined, easy-to-use tablet that has the content they want - apps and videos and games - and who want the best platform for digital magazines and books and comics.

Sony Vaio Fit E 15 Review

Sony's new VAIO Fit E series laptops feature solid and basic (but attractive) design and a wide range of configuration options, including a full HD touchscreen. But beware: adding a bunch of expensive components doesn't always make for a better laptop.

LG Optimus G Pro Review

...though it’s still chasing major rival Samsung in many ways, the Optimus G Pro is a major step forward. It's well designed, comfortable, speedy, and boasts a fantastic display.

The Sony Xperia ZL has a beautiful screen, attractive design, speedy performance, and a decent camera. But a small pile of minor problems makes this $630 phone a tough sell.

Kobo Aura HD Review

With the Aura HD, Kobo has released the first HD E Ink e-reader. But is fancy screen enough to make up for its premium $170 price?

Kyocera Torque Review

Cracked screens are common and a good rainstorm would wreck them, but most people seem okay with the fragility of their phones. But if you work in hazardous environments or outdoors, you need a phone that can keep pace. The Kyocera Torque is endorsed by no less an adventurer than Bear Grylls (remember that guy?). […]

Samsung Galaxy Express Review

At the low price of $1, with a contract, Samsung's Galaxy Express is a great bargain that offers the power of a Galaxy S3 in a smaller, less fancy, but comfortable shell.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (8-inch) review

Though the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 is more expensive than other small Android tablets, it more than justifies its higher price with a beautiful display, great design, and wealth of features.

BlackBerry Q10 review

BlackBerry returns to its roots with the Q10 and gets the keyboard part mostly right. But when you design an OS to work well on a big screen, shrinking it to fit a smaller one isn't quite enough.

Windows Phone 8 devices are finally coming to Sprint. The first of them, the HTC 8XT, is a clear descendant of the popular HTC Windows Phone 8X. We liked almost everything about that phone, so you would expect Sprint’s 8XT to be a slam dunk. Sadly, you would be wrong. The design is almost the […]
