This week, our editors were busy running around at WWDC and E3, but that didn't stop them from reviewing some awesome products. They got their hands on the new 13-inch MacBook Air, an AV receiver that has a turntable input, and a new tower defense game for iOS that'll get you hooked.

2013 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon
The wagon format of this powerful 2013 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon gives it an undeniable cool factor, while the handling is surprisingly excellent. But the outdated cabin tech is incentive to wait for an updated 2014 model. Read the review.
