Good: The Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8's super-slim, unique design makes it easy to hold. It's also only $250.
Bad: The tablet's low-resolution screen is dull and the heavily modified operating system is downright ugly.
Bottom Line: Though it feels well-built and has a handy kickstand, the Lenovo Yoga Tablet's poor performance makes it hard to justify even at its low cost. [Read more]

Good: The OCZ Vector 150 offers fast performance and includes a desktop adapter bracket as well as hard-drive-cloning software. The drive comes with a five-year warranty and now supports hardware encryption.
Bad: The Vector 150 doesn't outdo its predecessor in most categories, including storage capacity, pricing, and performance. The new drive doesn't offer anything new compared with other SSDs.
Bottom Line: With fast performance and a good warranty, the OCZ Vector 150 is a great SSD for first-time adopters. It's not a worthwhile upgrade for the original Vector drive, however. [Read more]

Good: The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is a performance monster that speeds through Web sites and UI navigation at a frantic pace. Its screen is impressively sharp and its body amazingly light for a larger tablet. The Mayday feature gives personal and near-instant customer service. Some small but smart UI additions lead to a simple, welcoming experience.
Bad: The remote video viewing feature won't be ready at launch, and ad-free versions still cost an extra $15. The 16GB of space runs out quickly when storing HD movies, and there's no built-in storage expansion. Lack of Google Play access means many apps still aren't available. The buttons on the back are sometimes hard to find.
Bottom Line: With everything that was great about the HDX 7 and more, the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 isn't just a great value, it sets the standard for a media consumption tablet. [Read more]

Good: For $50, the Fitbug Orb counts steps, calories, and syncs data wirelessly to phones. The fitness tracker is also light, comfortable, and stays put on your wrist. You can also wear the Orb on a bundled clip.
Bad: The Fitbug Orb lacks a display, is complicated to set up, and its button is small and hard to press. You can't use the Orb's mobile app to log meals, and it has limited Android compatibility. Sleep mode is tricky to engage, and wireless PC syncing costs extra.
Bottom Line: It's hard to beat the Fitug Orb's low price, but for $10 more, the Fitbit Zip has more features, is easier to use, and is ultimately a better buy. [Read more]
