Top-rated reviews of the week (pictures)
It may not have been the most product-laden week, but CNET editors still reviewed a few Windows 8 systems -- an inexpensive touch-screen laptop, a business laptop, and an all-in-one desktop -- as well as a pair of snazzy sweat-resistant earphones, the nimble 2013 Cadillac ATS, and Temple Run 2.

There are certainly other apps in the App Store that let you take short video loops, and even offer a similar layout, but Vine for iOS keeps the controls extremely easy and painless, making it a great way to capture short scenes. Read the review.

HP EliteBook Folio 9470m
The HP EliteBook Folio 9470m does a serviceable job of being a good thin, all-around Windows 8 business laptop, but it doesn't rise above the crowd, and it doesn't take any chances. Read the review.
2013 Cadillac ATS
2013 Cadillac ATS
The 2013 Cadillac ATS is a fun, nimble little luxury car that offers an easy all-around driving experience, and while its cabin electronics features are solid, the touch-screen performance proves frustrating. Read the review.
