If you’re all about value, then mosey on up to T-Mobile’s Nokia Lumia 521. For $150 off-contract (or $130 if you manage to nab it from Walmart) the Windows Phone 8 device brings on solid performance and Nokia’s signature apps for a bargain price. Its biggest drawback — besides the obvious step-down in screen and…
NOAA Hi-Def Radar (iOS)
NOAA Hi-Def Radar delivers great-looking animated radar maps to give you a better look at weather systems close to you, but it’s missing one important feature. Having a traditional forecast in front of you is useful, but being able to see the path of an actual storm is sometimes the feature you need most. You…
Canon EOS Rebel T5i (with 18-135mm STM lens)
No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you: the only significant differences between the now-discontinued Canon EOS Rebel T4i and its replacement, the T5i, are the price and the kit lens options. There are some small enhancements, including a new finish and grip; 360-degree rotation mode dial; and real-time shooting with creative filters with Live View preview. Interestingly,…
2013 Nissan Pathfinder
Nissan’s Pathfinder started life as a truck-based SUV, then went to unibody construction in a subsequent generation, becoming a crossover before there were crossovers.

Lenovo G580 – 15.6" – Core i5 3210M – Windows 8 – 4 GB RAM – 500 GB HDD
There is no glory in being basic or entry-level when it comes to laptops. Yet, for many of us, all the computer that’s needed is something that spends most of its time in one place and handles Web browsing, social networking, e-mail, word processing, streaming music and movies, and maybe some light photo and video…
Phiaton Moderna MS 200
The Phiaton Moderna MS 200 is a “half-in-ear” headphone design, which means it’s midway between an earbud and in-ear headphone. While the MS 200s have eartips, you don’t jam them all the way into your ear canal. Instead, they simply rest in your ear canal, so they let some sound in. That said, depending on…
Panasonic TC-P60ZT60
Let me get this out of the way first: Panasonic’s TC-PZT60 is now the best-performing TV we’ve ever tested. Perhaps a few of the old, supertweaked Pioneer Kuros out there might deliver slightly superior black levels, but I’ve never had any of those in the lab. This one beats my in-house Kuro, and every other…
