Good: The ZTE Source is competitively priced, features the recently updated Muve Music subscription service, and has expandable memory.
Bad: Data speeds are sluggish without an LTE connection, and both the handset's photo and call quality are mediocre.
Bottom Line: The ZTE Source offers Cricket customers inexpensive LTE, but if you can spare a bit more money, pass it over for better devices. [Read more]
    






2014 Dodge Durango

Good: The 2014 Dodge Durango's UConnect infotainment system brings apps such as Yelp into the cabin. The eight speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly. The exterior brings an updated, modernized look to the SUV.
Bad: The ride quality suffers from too rigid suspension, and the available V-8 engine averages under 20 mpg.
Bottom Line: Although not particularly economical, in styling and connected tech, the 2014 Dodge Durango shows what the future holds for SUVs. [Read more]
    






Quirky Spotter Multipurpose Sensor

Good: The Quirky Spotter Multipurpose Sensor is a great idea with scores of potential household uses. The free Wink app that you'll use to control it features an intelligent, elegant design.
Bad: The Spotter's performance was too inconsistent for us to feel comfortable relying upon. The lack of real-time status updates or an event history log within the app is a major oversight.
Bottom Line: The potential for affordable and comprehensive home automation is there, but you're better off waiting until the kinks are worked out. [Read more]
    






Fujifilm X-E2 (with 18-55mm XF Lens, Silver)

Good: The Fujifilm X-E2 delivers the same excellent photo quality as the X-E1, with a more streamlined design and slightly better performance.
Bad: It's still not terribly fast, especially for action, and the feature set remains relatively average. Plus you really don't want to use it for shooting video unless you're very careful about frame rates.
Bottom Line: It delivers great images and is still fun to shoot with, but the Fujifilm X-E2 isn't a no-brainer upgrade over the X-E1 and other cameras outfeature it. [Read more]

Dell Venue 8 Pro

User Rating:
Good: The tiny Dell Venue 8 Pro has a premium look and feel for such an inexpensive system, offers good stylus support, and runs full Windows 8 in something about the size of an iPad Mini.
Bad: A misplaced Windows button throws off the usability, and the 32GB of SSD storage won't hold much. A promised keyboard accessory isn't available yet.
Bottom Line: The Dell Venue 8 Pro comes close to being a great pocket-size mini-PC, but a misplaced button and missing accessories feel like unforced errors. [Read more]
    






Sony KDL-70R520A

User Rating:
Good: The Sony R520/R550 series offers excellent value and very good picture quality among its peers; relatively deep black levels; matte screen leads improves bright-room performance; attractive styling with unique stand.
Bad: Even better values are available; colors aren't entirely accurate; the different Smart TV interfaces can be confusing and a little slow; Screen mirroring didn't work on our sample.
Bottom Line: The big-screen Sony R520/R550 series offers the best value you'll see from the company this year. [Read more]
    

Nintendo Wii Mini (Red)

User Rating:
Good: The Wii Mini is compact and very affordable, and the bundle's price is only a few dollars more than some of its components would cost if purchased separately.
Bad: No online functionality means you won't be able to play downloadable retro Wii games or watch Netflix; it can't connect to HDMI ports, and can't display HD video; original Wii can be found for just a bit more, or even less if purchased used.
Bottom Line: The bare-bones Wii Mini gets rid of many Wii features to just focus on playing disc games, but the stripped-down experience isn't worth the savings. [Read more]
