Good: The Acer Iconia Tab A501 4G (AT&T) is the cheapest 4G Honeycomb tablet currently on the market. Also, it includes a full USB port and Micro-HDMI.
Bad: The tablet ships with Android 3.0.1, limiting its video compatibility, features, and performance. The A501's screen has a narrow viewing angle, and it fails to earn its hefty weight.
Bottom Line: The Acer Iconia Tab A501 4G (AT&T) is the A500 with HSPA+ connectivity at a very competitive price compared to other 4G tablets; however, its adherence to Android 3.0 limits its appeal. [Read more]

Good: The EcoBoost engine in the 2011 Ford F-150 Lariat SuperCab 4x4 lends plenty of power, and a solid four-wheel drive system has high and low settings. The cabin tech provides data including weather, traffic, and fuel prices. The Sony audio system adds some unexpectedly high-quality sound.
Bad: The drivetrain leads to some slight hesitation during acceleration and the four-wheel drive binds when the steering is at its lock point.
Bottom Line: The 2011 Ford F-150 takes advantage of modern technology and loses none of its practical working capabilities. Nice touches include the EcoBoost engine's power and the Sony audio system's quality. [Read more]

Good: The Nikon 1 J1 delivers excellent video and low-ISO photo quality, plus some aspects of the camera performance lead its class.
Bad: The CX lens system drops manual focus rings on the lenses; you can't use flash above 1/60 sec; and there's no option for an EVF.
Bottom Line: The Nikon 1 J1 is a fine camera, but there's nothing here that screams out "buy it" over similar competitors. It's also on the expensive side for a point-and-shoot upgrader, but has drawbacks for the more advanced user. [Read more]

Good: The HP EliteBook 8560w Mobile Workstation offers excellent configuration options including a color-accurate LCD, comes with great tools for fine-tuning performance and power usage, and has a tough but attractive design.
Bad: Like most mobile workstations, the EliteBook 8560w is large, heavy, and potentially very expensive.
Bottom Line: HP's versatile EliteBook 8560w shows that a mobile workstation can be rugged and a solid performer and still look good. [Read more]

Good: The stylish Sony Vaio F215FX adds stereoscopic 3D and backs it up with powerful components.
Bad: This is significantly heavier than other 16-inch laptops, and at nearly $2,000, it's very expensive. The battery life is disappointing.
Bottom Line: Sony makes some of the best-looking multimedia laptops out there, and the 3D Vaio F215FX is no exception. But you'll have to be willing to pay extra for that sharp design. [Read more]
