Good: The ThinkPad T420 has several things going for it: performance, plenty of ports, excellent battery life, and a very comfortable keyboard.
Bad: The design of the bulky, business-oriented T420 is positively Stone Age. It's also priced well above similar consumer laptops. No HDMI, no USB 3.0.
Bottom Line: The Lenovo ThinkPad T420 is as straight-up and unassuming as a business laptop can be on the surface, souped up with faster performance, long battery life, and a flexible selection of ports under the hood. [Read more]

Good: The TiVo Premiere Elite can record on four tuners at once to its 2TB of storage. TiVo continues to offer a best-in-class DVR experience, plus a top-notch suite of streaming-video services including Netflix and Hulu Plus.
Bad: Cable cutters and satellite subscribers will be disappointed that the Elite works with digital cable and Verizon Fios only. And even if TiVo does work with your cable provider, you won't be able to access any pay-per-view or VOD content. The Elite is $500 plus $500 for lifetime service or $19.99 a month, which is much more than the alternatives. And there's still no built-in Wi-Fi.
Bottom Line: The TiVo Premiere Elite might be a luxury, but it's definitely a luxury worth paying for. [Read more]

Good: The Kodak Office Hero 6.1 All-in-One Printer's ink tanks cost less than the competition's, and connection options include Wi-Fi, Google Cloud Print, and Kodak's own Email Print service.
Bad: The device can't print directly on blank discs and the fixed-angle display may inhibit the view for some users.
Bottom Line: If you're not in a rush to receive your prints, the Office Pro 6.1 makes a worthwhile sidekick with several cloud printing options, a generous 200-sheet paper input capacity, and a 35-sheet autodocument feeder for hands-free scans on the upgraded 2,400dpi scanner. [Read more]

Good: The JBL OnBeat is a fairly compact iPhone/iPad audio dock. It offers decent-enough sound for its size and a pass-through USB connection for computers that allows you to sync a docked iPod/iPhone/iPad with iTunes on your computer.
Bad: The iPad can't be rotated to landscape mode when docked; speaker sounds a bit thin.
Bottom Line: If you can look past its inability to dock iPads horizontally, the affordable JBL OnBeat is a decent little iPad/iPhone speaker dock that's well-suited for nightstand use. [Read more]
