Good: The retractable hardtop on the 2012 Volkswagen Eos offers weather protection and fun in the sun. The direct-injection, turbocharged engine produces 200 horsepower, and a dual-clutch transmission efficiently drives the wheels.
Bad: This pricey car has poor weight distribution and seriously compromised trunk space due to the hardtop. The navigation system lacks traffic data.
Bottom Line: Although the 2012 Volkswagen Eos boasts a few unique features, it faces serious competition at its price point. A fun cruiser, its cabin electronics are the same as that of the much-less-expensive Jetta. [Read more]

Good: The LG PZ950 series evinced excellent color in bright and dark areas, along with the even screen uniformity of plasma. The Smart TV Internet portal is well-designed with a solid selection of streaming services, and LG includes a Wi-Fi dongle. The secondary motion-sensitive remote provides a cool, easy-to-use control option. We appreciated the one-sheet-of-glass styling.
Bad: This plasma reproduces light black levels and its screen handles bright rooms worse than other TVs. It showed mediocre 3D performance. Smart TV lacks Pandora, and its search is next to useless.
Bottom Line: Although blessed with solid features, design and performance, the LG PZ950 series can't match the excellent picture quality of other plasmas in its price range. [Read more]

Good: The Nintendo Wii Hardware Bundle (with Mario Kart) has a lot going for it: clean, accessible design; a great library of family-friendly games; a still-iconic controller design that can be used for motion games or more traditional button-based games; Virtual Console library and WiiWare games that offer a unique and affordable collection of classic titles; the Wii Remote Plus controller, updated with built-in MotionPlus; and Netflix streaming.
Bad: Online connectivity is hampered by closed-garden design; graphics and video playback cap at 480p; other than Netflix, the Wii has no other video-streaming or entertainment offerings, and can't play CDs or DVDs; its graphics continue to look ever more outdated compared with rival consoles, and the unique qualities that motion gaming offered are now available in accessories from rival consoles; and, finally, the decision to replace both Wii Sports games with Mario Kart in this bundle may disappoint casual consumers.
Bottom Line: For families and lovers of casual games, the even more affordable Wii still represents the best console bundle value in terms of dollars spent, but it's also the system that's first on deck to be outdated. With the announcement of the Wii U, the Wii is a declining console. Still, its sizable and often unique back library of games is still worth playing. [Read more]

Good: The RIM BlackBerry Bold 9900 has a very polished design, with a svelte form factor, a sharp touch-screen display, and a wonderful QWERTY keyboard. Notable features include a 1.2GHz processor, the new BlackBerry OS 7, 720p HD video recording, and NFC support. Photo quality is excellent.
Bad: The BlackBerry Bold 9900's call quality is slightly flawed. It's also very expensive when compared with similar handsets.
Bottom Line: BlackBerry enthusiasts will love the BlackBerry Bold 9900, but its high price tag will be a deterrent to many. [Read more]

Good: The affordable true dual-band Linksys E2500 Advanced Dual-Band N router is easy to use, thanks to the included Cisco Connect software and the well-organized Web interface. The router is also stylish and compact.
Bad: The Linksys E2500's range is short and its 2.4Ghz-band performance is subpar. The included Cisco Connect utility provides limited access to its features, doesn't work in sync with the Web interface, and requires a live Internet to work.
Bottom Line: Though far from perfect, the Linksys E2500's ease of use, nice design and friendly price tag help make it a very good router for a small home or apartment. [Read more]
