Good: The Roku 3's excellent new interface and faster processor makes it feel quicker and more responsive than any other streaming box. Over 750 channels are supported, including Netflix, Amazon Instant, HBO Go, Hulu Plus, Pandora, MLB.TV, Amazon Cloud Player, and Vudu. It also has cross-platform search that scours several major TV and movie services to find content. And Roku's nifty new remote has a built-in headphone jack that lets you listen without disturbing others.
Bad: There's still no official YouTube channel. Some services have an outdated interface on Roku compared to other streamers. The Apple TV still works better within the Apple ecosystem. And the Roku 3 isn't a great option if you're mostly looking to stream your personal digital media collection.
Bottom Line: The Roku 3 is the best streaming-video box yet, with tons of content sources, lightning-fast performance and an innovative remote with built-in headphone jack. [Read more]

Bad: The I'm Watch is tricky to set up, is saddled by short battery life and shaky software, and is extremely expensive.
Bottom Line: The I'm Watch smartwatch runs Android and custom apps, but weak software and quirky performance mean you should pass on this pricey gadget. [Read more]

Good: The LG Optimus G Pro packs a sharp and crisp display, a blazing Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor, and Android Jelly Bean.
Bad: The Optimus G Pro's hefty size can be cumbersome to handle and it doesn't come with a stylus.
Bottom Line: Though it lacks a stylus and it won't fit everyone's lifestyle, the LG Optimus G Pro's beautiful touch screen and ultrafast CPU do this handset justice. [Read more]

Good: The Asus MeMo Pad Smart 10 has a rear-facing camera, microSD and -HDMI ports, and solid performance for a budget tablet.
Bad: Can't be upgraded beyond Android 4.1.2; lacks a super-high-resolution display; overall plastic feel.
Bottom Line: Imagine a Nexus 7's innards expanded to a 10-inch tablet and you've got the Asus MeMo Pad Smart 10. Now ask yourself...why wouldn't you want something better? [Read more]

Good: City Safety collision prevention comes standard in the 2013 Volvo XC60. The stereo delivers quality sound and includes a five-band equalizer. Navigation includes lane guidance.
Bad: The cabin tech interface is not particularly intuitive, and there are no connected features.
Bottom Line: The 2013 Volvo XC60 is a comfortable and uncomplicated driving SUV with a very advanced standard safety feature, but data-driven technology is absent from the cabin. [Read more]
