Good: The most practical solution for home console gaming on the go, the Gaems PGE cleverly packs a 19-inch LED screen into a suitcase design. It's easy to set up and works with any Xbox 360 or either of the slim PlayStation 3s. It's FAA-approved for carry-on and comes with everything you need to play (save for a console and games).
Bad: Portable home console gaming has its drawbacks. The entire contraption is heavy and not fun to carry around. It's a niche product for dead-serious gamers and probably not for casual players. If you're playing a darker game, there's a fair amount of light leakage around the perimeter of the screen and the blue hues that glow on either side can be distracting.
Bottom Line: If you can't be without your home console of choice on long trips or any kind of extended leave, the Gaems PGE is the most practical solution for all-in-one home console gaming on the go. [Read more]
    


Cambridge Audio Minx Air 200

Good: The Cambridge Audio Minx Air 200 is an attractive wireless speaker, with an understated design that blends well into most environments. It supports both Bluetooth and AirPlay, plus it can directly stream Internet radio without the need for a separate mobile device.
Bad: The Minx Air 200 doesn't sound as good as other speakers in its price class. Despite the handle on the back, it's not truly a portable speaker, as it lacks a built-in battery. AirPlay setup can be slightly difficult for networking neophytes. And while its jumbo size allows it to sound better than the smaller Minx Air 100, it takes up a lot of shelf space.
Bottom Line: The Cambridge Audio Minx Air 200 is a big, well-designed wireless speaker that supports Bluetooth, AirPlay, and Internet radio, but its sound quality doesn't live up to its lofty high price. [Read more]
    


2013 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG

Good: The 2013 Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG boasts startlingly good acceleration for a sedan of its size, thanks to its powerful engine and our equipped performance package upgrades. It also manages to be quite comfortable thanks to an adaptive suspension, multiple drive modes, and a high level of cabin comfort amenities. The stop-start fuel saver is one of the smoothest that we've tested.
Bad: The Comand interface is showing its age with confusing organization and features that feel tacked on rather than integrated. Mercedes-Benz Apps interface is too slow to be of any use behind the wheel and also poorly organized.
Bottom Line: The powerful, comfortable 2013 Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG feels like a car that's worth its high asking price, but we'd wait for the next generation of its Comand interface before taking the plunge. [Read more]
    


2013 Nissan Sentra

Good: The 2013 Nissan Sentra's inexpensive navigation system integrates Google local search, and the stereo includes Pandora. The continuously variable transmission delivers efficiency and improves the car's driving character.
Bad: The four-cylinder engine leaves the Sentra feeling underpowered. A small touch screen and poor turn graphics reduce the navigation system's usability.
Bottom Line: The 2013 Nissan Sentra serves as cheap transportation for urban areas, and offers connected navigation for greater convenience, but a weak engine and bland styling highlight its mundane nature. [Read more]

Good: Alcatel's unlocked One Touch Idol has a large display, a slim profile, an 8-megapixel camera with HD video capture, and strong call quality.
Bad: The Idol won't deliver faster than 3G service. The entry-level device lacks NFC and has little internal storage.
Bottom Line: With low-end specs and no 4G speeds, Alcatel's One Touch Idol can't compete with the LG Nexus 4. [Read more]
    


Sony Vaio Pro 11

Good: The Sony Vaio Pro 11 weighs less than 2 pounds and uses a fourth-gen Intel Core i5 to deliver long battery life and very good everyday performance. It has an excellent 11.6-inch 1080p touch screen and is competitively priced for its features.
Bad: The Pro 11, like its competition, has a nonremovable battery (though you can add an external battery), few ports and connections, and integrated graphics only. System memory is maxed out at 4GB.
Bottom Line: The superthin, superlight Sony Vaio Pro 11 is everything we expect from an excellent ultrabook. [Read more]
