The Lorex 4K Battery Doorbell does some things really well. However, there are a couple big concerns here, including battery life.

The BenQ GW2486TC Eye-Care Monitor is a very affordable monitor perfect for those who prize productivity over all else.

The Bose Smart Soundbar is packed to the brim with features. It sounds pretty good too, though it’s not cheap.

Although not the most powerful vac we've tested, the Shark Detect Pro Cordless is an excellent all-rounder that'll suit most people's needs.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 is a decent laptop at a decent price and is portable enough for a 15-inch laptop.

Redefining two-in-one, the Thinkbook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid offers two distinct devices that can be used separately in one package.

The Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus is easy to set up and use. Its price is affordable, but a bit higher than expected.

The GE Cync Lighting Dynamic Effects Smart Bulbs provide fantastic dynamic effects and rock solid connectivity, though it is limited to certain smart home ecosystems.

Light, comfortable, good sound, and long battery life are just part of what make the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 great for runners.

The H2O Audio Tri 2 Pro Multi-Sport have the build and features that make them ideal for long runs, swims, or both.

Though a bit pricey, its performance, intuitive interface and fantastic remote make it worth it.

The Philips 7000 Series Video Doorbell is great in just about every way, except the price and the fact that there’s a bit of a delay.

The JBL 104-BT are affordable and very pleasant to listen to, though you should consider them more for general use than production work.

The Origin EON17-X v2 is a powerhouse that runs hot and loud. It’s not cheap, but it provides premium performance.

The Acer Swift X14 has all the makings of an Ultrabook. It’s fairly light and thin, yet it also holds the power of a gaming laptop.

The Acer Chromebook Spin 714 is an excellent value thanks to its versatile form factor, powerful performance, and strong battery life along with some premium touches at a reasonable price.

The Narwal Freo X is supremely budget-friendly, but doesn't always do as it's told.

The Acer Swift Edge 16 (2023) is thin and light while still offering the full experience of a 16-inch laptop, complete with a large OLED display.
