Samsung's $1,100 Series 7 all-in-one tries to balance affordability and functionality but uninspiring performance and display quality concerns take it down a peg.

Barnes & Noble's Nook HD is a contender on many levels. It's not the tablet for everyone, but for people who devour books, magazines, catalogs, and more, it's a better choice than it's nearest competition.

The Kindle Fire HD 8.9 is a good tablet for people deeply invested in Amazon's products and services, just like the 7-inch model. But even though the $300 price tag is low, that doesn't excuse the device's performance issues and uninspiring design.

The Kobo Arc's paired down hardware keeps costs low, and its well-designed Android skin makes interacting with it fun. Yet unlike the Amazon and Barnes & Noble's tablets, owners aren't limited to one store for e-books, apps, or media.

The Dell Latitude 10 is a capable Windows 8 tablet that's hindered by slow internal components and a design that isn't in balance.

The IdeaTab Lynx is a middle of the road tablet. It's not great in any aspect, though it isn't all that different from most other Atom-based tablets, the Lynx doesn't distinguish itself or rise above the crowd.

The Kobo Glo's lighted e-ink display is better quality than the Kindle Paperwhite and the Nook with GlowLight, but the e-reader's other attributes may not be enticing enough to lure e-book lovers away from the big boys.

Samsung's ATIV Smart PC Pro 700T carries a significant price tag and justifies it with good performance, sturdy build, long battery life, and a nice stylus. It raises the bar for Windows 8 tablets, but it's not as if that bar was too high to start.

The Nook HD+ is for people who want a streamlined, easy-to-use tablet that has the content they want - apps and videos and games - and who want the best platform for digital magazines and books and comics.

Windows Phone 8 devices are finally coming to Sprint. The first of them, the HTC 8XT, is a clear descendant of the popular HTC Windows Phone 8X. We liked almost everything about that phone, so you would expect Sprint’s 8XT to be a slam dunk. Sadly, you would be wrong. The design is almost the […]
