Posted: 05 Nov 2011 01:02 AM PDT Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: The HP Pavilion dv7-6b55dx is a nice-looking big-screen laptop with a long battery life and very good performance for the money. Bad: The dv7's screen is low-resolution for its size and its integrated graphics drag down the performance some. Bottom Line: If you're looking for a lot of screen real estate and enough power for work and play, the HP Pavilion dv7-6b55dx is a good place to start. [Read more] |
Nokia Lumia 800 - black (unlocked) Posted: 26 Oct 2011 08:58 PM PDT Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: The Nokia Lumia 800 has a singular design, a stunning display, and a nice driving console in Nokia Drive. Bad: Camera and video quality on the Lumia 800 is poor, despite the fancy specs. A front-facing camera would make the phone more competitive. The Micro-SIM slot is hard to access. Bottom Line: The unlocked Nokia Lumia 800 has an innovative design and gorgeous screen, but the poor camera quality and lack of a front-facing camera are major detractions. [Read more] |
Posted: 17 Oct 2011 11:51 PM PDT Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: The retail-only HP TouchSmart 520-1050y offers solid performance for its price, and has most of the features we look for in a midrange all-in-one. Bad: The lack of an HDMI input is inexcusable, but worse is the fact that you can get the same model for $50 less via HP.com. Bottom Line: HP does shoppers a disservice with the inconsistent pricing between this otherwise decent retail-only desktop and the more affordable, identical model available via HP's Web site.

Posted: 13 Oct 2011 02:32 AM PDT Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: The Netgear NeoTV is a good media streamer that provides a generous and diverse collection of preprogrammed content channels. It works great with an Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection for resolutions up to 1080p. The optional smartphone app is a nice touch, too. Bad: NeoTV has very limited functionality not going much beyond just streaming. There's no expansion port and users can only connect the device to a TV via an HDMI cable. Bottom Line: While it's a capable streamer the lack of any expandable memory and its limited connectivity really limit its universal appeal. It's also priced too high compared to the most recent Roku offerings. [Read more] |
Motorola Droid Razr (Verizon Wireless) Posted: 12 Oct 2011 01:33 AM PDT Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: The Motorola Droid Razr has an attractive, slim, and lightweight design that is also water repellent and scratch resistant. It has a fantastic 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Advanced display, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, Verizon's 4G/LTE speeds, plenty of multimedia features, corporate and government grade security, Webtop functionality, and decent battery life. Bad: The Motorola Droid Razr's large size might feel awkward in small hands; we expected better picture quality from its 8-megapixel camera; and the battery is not removable. Bottom Line: With its razor-thin design, jam-packed features, and blazing speed, the Motorola Droid Razr is easily one of the year's top Android smartphones. [Read more] |
