Bad: The LG Optimus Slider is bulky, even as a slider phone. Camera quality is poor.
Bottom Line: If you like a real keyboard on a no-contract, reasonably priced handset, the LG Optimus Slider is a good contender. Just remember its low specs and boxy build. [Read more]

Good: The Sony KDL-HX850 delivers excellent picture quality for an LCD, with deep blacks and plenty of detail in shadows. Blooming was minimal, and both uniformity and viewing angle were very good. The Gorilla Glass front adds both toughness and good looks.
Bad: The HX850 is expensive compared with like-performing plasmas, and color tended somewhat toward blue.
Bottom Line: The Sony HX850 is a smart-looking Smart TV with sparkling picture quality, making it a front-runner for plasma-phobic videophiles. [Read more]

Good: The NZXT Cryo E40 adds movable fans to the usually bland world of laptop cooling desks.
Bad: The smallish size means it's not good for big, hot desktop replacement laptops. The fans need to be positioned carefully to avoid rattling.
Bottom Line: For under $30, the NZXT Cryo E40 provides efficient cooling through its movable fans, and its metal body makes it look like a more expensive accessory. [Read more]

Bad: Fairly expensive; no wireless option (Bluetooth or otherwise); no rechargeable battery (must use six D-cell batteries for mobile use).
Bottom Line: Although it's fairly pricey, the House of Marley Bag of Rhythm is a quality portable boom box that throws out a lot of sound for its size. [Read more]
