Nikon D5300
Nikon D5300
The Nikon D5300 is a great choice as a general-purpose dSLR. In fact, it's an Editors' Choice. Read the review.
Audioengine A2+
Audioengine A2+
While they'll cost you $50 more that the A2 speakers they're based on, the Audioengine A2+ multimedia speakers improve on an already great product with slightly better sound when hooked up to your computer via a new USB connection. Read the review.
WD Black 2 Dual Drive
WD Black 2 Dual Drive

Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad Air
Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad Air
The Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad Air isn't quite as ultrathin-feeling as Logitech's earlier iPad keyboard cover, but it is an excellent -- if feature-minimal -- Bluetooth keyboard accessory. Read the review.
Dell Inspiron 14 7000 Series
Dell Inspiron 14 7000 Series
Though its components and performance are somewhat average for its price, the Dell Inspiron 14 7000 Series' aluminum chassis, backlit keyboard, and 1080p touch screen give it a more premium feel. Read the review.
Dell XPS 15
Dell XPS 15
The Dell XPS 15 takes on Apple's MacBook Pro with Retina Display in almost every category, even beating it in a few. But for such a hefty investment, a design overhaul is in order. Read the review.
Fujifilm X-E2
Fujifilm X-E2
The Fujifilm X-E2 isn't a no-brainer upgrade over the X-E1, but it delivers the same excellent photo quality with a more streamlined design and slightly better performance. Read the review.
Dell Venue 8 Pro
Dell Venue 8 Pro
The Dell Venue 8 Pro comes close to being a great pocket-size mini-PC, but a misplaced button and missing accessories feel like unnecessary errors. Still, it's pretty fancy for a $300 tablet. Read the review.
Soundmatters FoxL Dash 7
Soundmatters FoxL Dash 7
While it's a bit overpriced, the Soundmatters FoxL Dash 7 is a superslim Bluetooth speaker that sounds very good for its size. Read the review.
2014 Dodge Durango
2014 Dodge Durango
Although not particularly economical, in styling and connected tech the 2014 Dodge Durango shows what the future holds for SUVs. Read the review.
