Asus Eee PC 1201PNJun 21, 2010 | 10:15 amAs the first next-gen Nvidia Ion Netbook, the Asus Eee PC 1201PN is a bit of a misnomer--offering single-core Atom performance and no automatic graphics switching in an expensive package that underperforms its predecessor.

Panasonic Viera TC-P46S2Aug 10, 2010 | 4:15 pmThe midrange Panasonic TC-PS2 series of plasma TVs still offers very good image quality for the price, though it's not without its performance gaffes.
Vizio VHT210Aug 9, 2010 | 12:15 pmThe Vizio VHT210 sound bar sports an uncommonly compact design and sounds better playing music than the average in its class, but its input options are limited.
Sony HT-CT150Aug 6, 2010 | 3:15 pmSony's HT-CT150 sound bar home theater system sounds great and is way ahead of the competition with its three HDMI inputs; however, its IR receiver limits the subwoofer's placement options.
Toshiba BDX2700Aug 5, 2010 | 1:15 pmThe Toshiba BDX2700 is currently a little cheaper than other midrange Blu-ray players and includes 7.1 analog outputs, but otherwise there's little reason to favor it over faster models with better features.
Sony BDV-E770WAug 4, 2010 | 12:15 pmThe Sony BDV-E770W is one of the best Blu-ray home theater systems we've tested, with excellent sound quality, tons of streaming-media options, 3D compatibility, and wireless rear speakers. The lack of HDMI inputs is the only big omission.
Samsung UN46C6500Aug 2, 2010 | 1:15 pmWhile its picture doesn't overcome the typical disadvantages of edge-lit LED LCDs, the excellent feature set and minimalist style of the Samsung UNC6500 series exhibit plenty of appeal.

Gateway SX2801-01eAug 9, 2010 | 2:15 pmThe Gateway SX2801-01e is just one of several new budget slim tower systems available this season. We're impressed by its compact design and the HDMI port makes it easy to use in the living room.
Apple iMac summer 2010 (21.5 in)Jul 27, 2010 | 3:15 pmApple has elected to keep its iMac firmly grounded as a productivity device. You'll find few home entertainment conveniences in the new entry-level iMac, and you can find larger screens in other all-in-ones for less.
Gateway One ZX6900-01eJul 2, 2010 | 12:15 pmThis Gateway all-in-one has a touchscreen, but that might be the least interesting thing about it. With a 23-inch display, a Blu-ray drive, and competitive performance, the ZX6900-01e offers an impressively capable system for under $1,000.
Apple Mac Mini (Spring 2010)Jun 15, 2010 | 12:15 pmApple's new Mac Mini makes a strong play for the living room with a sleek new design and the addition of HDMI port to output video.

Dell Studio Xps 7100Jun 11, 2010 | 2:15 pmDell configured the all-AMD Studio XPS 7100 squarely at gamers, throwing in a powerful 3D card to offset the slow six-core AMD CPU. The result is a fast gaming PC with well-rounded features for an affordable price thanks to a two-month-long special offer.
Apple iMac 27-inch (27-inch, 2.8GHz Intel CorMay 14, 2010 | 12:15 pmWe're a little late to the Core i7 iMac review party, but that doesn't make Apple's highest-end all-in-one any less impressive. With the fastest CPU and the largest display in its category, we find our criticisms of this system mostly wash away in a tide of pixels and best-in-class performance.
HP Pavilion Elite HPE-190tMay 7, 2010 | 3:15 pmHP's Pavilion Elite 190T isn't the most innovative desktop, nor the best-looking. It does, however, offer Intel's six-core Core i7 980X Extreme CPU, currently the fastest desktop chip on the market.
Maingear VybeMay 7, 2010 | 2:15 pmMaingear's Vybe is the first desktop in our lab with AMD's new six-core Phenom II X6 processor. That chip alone can't save this system from tough competition among mid-ranged gaming PCs, but if the Vybe isn't the best all-around PC at this price, it has some impressive gaming chops.
Asus Eee Box EB1501Apr 23, 2010 | 3:15 pmThe Asus Eee Box EB1501 pricier than Blu-ray players that stream content from the Web, and not as powerful as slightly more expensive slim tower PCs that offer significantly more speed and power.
eMachines ET1831-07Apr 23, 2010 | 12:15 pmThe eMachines ET1831-07 isn't much of a video playback device, but in all other respects, this is a solid budget PC. Perhaps the best deal going for its features, it also outperforms other desktops in and above its price range on general computing tasks.
Nikon Coolpix S4000Jul 29, 2010 | 2:15 pmNikon's budget-friendly Coolpix S4000 offers up a large, responsive touch screen, but its performance will test your patience.
Casio Exilim EX-FH100Jul 20, 2010 | 12:15 pmThe high-speed Casio Exilim EX-FH100 is a compelling compact megazoom camera for those constantly worried about missing a snapshot.
Sony Alpha A500Jul 19, 2010 | 3:15 pmThe Sony Alpha DSLR-A500's quirky design is the only real flaw in an otherwise a solid entry-level model with fast Live View shooting and a useful tilting LCD.
Samsung HZ35WJul 12, 2010 | 4:15 pmSamsung's HZ35W is pretty much an across-the-board improvement from its predecessor resulting in a GPS-enabled compact megazoom worth considering.
Canon Powershot SD4000 ISJun 18, 2010 | 12:15 pmA wide-angle, wide-aperture lens and a high-sensitivity sensor add up to good low-light photos and fast performance for the Canon PowerShot SD4000 IS.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP3Jun 14, 2010 | 11:15 amA basic ultracompact point-and-shoot with a touch screen, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP3 can outshoot the average camera phone.
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H55Jun 11, 2010 | 12:15 pmThe Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H55 is a well-priced compact megazoom capable of taking some excellent photos, just at a leisurely pace.

Nikon Coolpix S8000May 26, 2010 | 12:15 pmA nice design and a couple extra features keep the Nikon Coolpix S8000 from being an also-ran compact megazoom.
Fuji FinePix HS10May 25, 2010 | 5:15 pmFujifilm's FinePix HS10 has the look, feel, and controls of a dSLR, with the photos and shooting performance of a common point-and-shoot.
Sony Handycam HDR-XR550VJul 12, 2010 | 3:15 pmThe Sony Handycam HDR-XR550V fares well compared with the competition, though its video could be a bit sharper and the interface less cumbersome. Unless you absolutely need to store a lot of video on the camcorder--which I don't suggest--or have large hands and therefore could benefit from the extra grip the hard drive provides, the cheaper and nearly identical flash-based CX550V is a better deal.
Panasonic HDC-TM700Jul 9, 2010 | 3:15 pmThe flash-based Panasonic HDC-TM700 and its hard-disk sibling, the HDC-HS700, stand out for their low-light video quality and broad set of manual controls. However, while the TM700 is very attractively priced for its class, the HS700 is not, and not worth the price premium unless you absolutely need the hard disk.
Canon Vixia HF S21Jul 9, 2010 | 12:15 pmWhile they're an excellent trio of camcorders, the Vixia HF S21, HF S20, and HF S200 are significantly more expensive than their respective competitors, especially since the S20 and S200 lack electronic viewfinders. If you can forego some of the subtleties of its manual controls, you can probably get what you need with a cheaper camcorder.
Kodak PlaysportMay 28, 2010 | 1:15 pmThe Kodak Playsport is an excellent minicamcorder that can take some rough treatment and capture solid HD video.
Sony Handycam HDR-CX150May 6, 2010 | 3:15 pmIts small size and attractive price might draw you to the Sony Handycam HDR-CX150, but this bare-bones camcorder just barely delivers on the promise of HD quality.
Flip SlideHD (4 Hours, white)Apr 20, 2010 | 3:15 pmThe Flip SlideHD sets itself apart from the company's previous bargain camcorders by incorporating a unique sliding touch-screen.
Flip SlideHDApr 12, 2010 | 10:15 pmThe Flip SlideHD sets itself apart from the company's previous bargain camcorders by incorporating a unique sliding touch-screen.
Panasonic SDR-T50, S50, and H85Apr 6, 2010 | 2:52 pmThe Panasonic SDR-T50, S50, and H85 standard-definition camcorders are worth considering for their manual controls and powerful zoom lens in a very compact body--not their video quality.
Sony Bloggie MHS-CM5Apr 6, 2010 | 2:52 pmThe Bloggie CM5 isn't as compact as competing models from Flip Video and Kodak, but it delivers an above-average feature set and video for the money.
Creative Labs Vado HD 3rd GenApr 6, 2010 | 2:52 pmThough the Creative Vado HD 3rd Gen doesn't do quite enough to distinguish itself from the competition, it does offer some nice improvements over earlier Vado HD models that keep it relevant in the pocket camcorder space.

Sony PSP GoApr 6, 2010 | 2:52 pmThe PSP Go is Sony's sleek, sexy redesign of its PSP gaming system; however, its high price tag and frustrating caveats mean it's not a must-have upgrade for current PSP owners--at least for now.
