Samsung CLP-680ND
The Samsung CLP-680ND has a good feature set and typical speed for a small-office color laser printer. Its overall output quality is a touch above average, thanks to good graphics quality. The CLP-680ND is boxy with rounded corners, off-white with a brown top, measuring 12.3 by 16.5 by 17.8 inches (HWD) and weighing 44 pounds….
Ogio Pagoda Laptop Bag (Medium)
We’ve been travelling with laptops for years—after all, they’re meant to be portable. But a host of other devices have joined them: increasingly bigger smartphones, the so-called phablets, tablets, and ereaders. You can fit all that and more into the Pagoda laptop bag (medium) ($100, list) by Ogio. The Pagoda is a messenger-style bag that…
Toshiba 39L2300U
Not long ago, if you walked into a store with $1000 to spend on an HDTV you’d have to settle for one with a small 720p screen and almost no features whatsoever. Nowadays, that same $1000 gets you a much larger full HD screen, and in some cases, neat features like 3D and networking capabilities,…
Panasonic TC-L60DT60
Joining the ET60 and E60 series of recently announced Panasonic LED-backlit Viera HDTVs, the DT60 series offers good performance, stylish looks, and lots of features, including four sets of 3D glasses, Wi-Fi, and a 120Hz refresh rate. The TC-L55DT60 ($2,199.99 list) I tested features a 55-inch IPS panel that delivers good color quality and dark…
Samsung Intensity III (Verizon Wireless)
Smartphones are great, but let’s face it, data plans are expensive. Not everyone wants to shell out that much cash every month, and there are still some people that just don’t need it. The $49.99 Samsung Intensity III is for them. It’s an old school feature phone with a slide-out keyboard that’s sure to please texting…
LG Cosmos 3 (Verizon Wireless)
The original LG Cosmos came out over three years ago, and a lot has changed in the mobile phone world since then. But not a lot has changed on planet Cosmos, which is still up to the same old tricks in its third iteration. The free LG Cosmos 3 is priced right, but just about everything…
LG Revere 2 (Verizon Wireless)
There’s nothing fancy about the LG Revere 2, a new little flip phone for Verizon Wireless. But if you’re reading this review, you probably already know that. No one is looking at the Revere 2 expecting the same sort of features and performance you’d get from a smartphone. Instead, what you get is a simple, attractive…
BlackBerry Q10 (AT&T)
There’s nothing like the BlackBerry Q10 ($199.99-$584.99 at AT&T). It’s a messaging monster. If you’re one of those “keyboard people,” the Q10 is the answer to your prayers: a well-built, modern smartphone with the best physical keyboard you can get your thumbs on. And even though the Q10 doesn’t lead the pack in terms of…
BlackBerry Q10 (T-Mobile)
BlackBerry’s new Q10 smartphone is almost exactly the same across the big four wireless carriers, but T-Mobile has a compelling argument to put forth: the lowest up-front and ongoing prices for BlackBerry service. T-Mobile’s version also adds HD Voice calling, although it lacks T-Mobile’s Wi-Fi calling tricks. Physically and functionally, the T-Mobile Q10 is nearly identical…
Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (Mid 2013)
Road warriors and jet travellers rejoice, we’ve found a laptop that will last all day and well into the night. The newest Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (Mid-2013) lasted an astonishing 15-and-a-half hours on a battery test that makes most current mainstream ultrabooks and ultraportables cough and die after four to six hours. The fact that…
