Alpine iDA-X305

Editors' rating: 4

The good: The Alpine iDA-X305's two-way encoder control scheme and QuickSearch function makes it possible to scrub through large libraries in seconds. Add-on modules allow the feature set to be extended.

The bad: The lack of a CD player may be a turn off for many people.

The bottom line: For people who listen primarily to MP3/WMA/AAC audio, the Alpine iDA-X305 offers one of the easiest-to-use interfaces for in-car browsing of digital media.

WildCharger with Nokia 2mm tip universal adapter

Editors' rating: 4

The good: The WildCharger is compatible with a variety of phones and it can charge several handsets at once. It goes without saying that it's a novel product.

The bad: The WildCharger is rather bulky, and extra adapters are somewhat expensive.

The bottom line: The WildCharger is an innovative and effective product. But unless you're charging more than one phone at once, it's not a practical purchase.

Zoom H4n

Editors' rating: 4

The good: The Zoom H4n uses a sturdy, intuitive design, quality stereo microphones, phantom-powered inputs, and includes the capability to record four channels simultaneously.

The bad: The design is bulky, mixer settings aren't intuitive, and the minijack microphone input is awkwardly placed.

The bottom line: The Zoom H4n is a mobile recording dynamo with features that outperform competitors that cost twice as much. It is an outstanding value for musicians and podcasters who demand professional-sounding results.

HP Color LaserJet CP2025n

Editors' rating: 3.5

The good: Impressive print quality; fast output for color documents; high monthly duty cycle; comprehensive driver features and warranty; easy networking setup.

The bad: Slow black printing; no auto-duplexing; can't print directly from USB thumbdrive or digital camera; lacks wireless connectivity.

The bottom line: Although the HP CP2025n is rather slow to print black documents and is missing supplementary features such as USB-direct printing and wireless, the color laser shines in output quality, and the software holds your hand through a somewhat daunting learning curve. The CP2025n also has a high monthly duty-cycle, so we recommend it to anyone hunting for a workhorse printer to complement an equally diligent work environment.

Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q725

Editors' rating: 3.5

The good: Powerful Intel Quad Core processor; 64GB SSD; great speakers; charges USB devices, even when off.

The bad: Gigantic; love-it-or-hate-it design; low-resolution display for a 17-inch gaming rig.

The bottom line: The Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q725's high-performance components are just as fancy as its exterior--and its price tag won't let you forget it.
