Asustor AS-604T NAS Server

The product: 
Asustor AS-604T NAS server comes with no storage included, but it's very fast to install your own hard drives, thanks to the front-facing drive bays. Each of these bays includes a tray that can be easily unlocked and pulled out. After that it's simple to assemble a standard 3.5-inch hard drive on it. There are more than enough screws included for all four hard drives, always a good thing. You don't need to fill all four drive bays to use the server, but it's recommended that you do so, and use drives of the highest capacity

Lenovo IdeaPad Z400 Touch

The product: 
In one sense, the IdeaPad Z400 has a clean, not unattractive design. A matte chocolate-brown lid and two-tone silver and black plastic inside give the impression of something higher-end. But it's the fit and finish here that runs cheap. Everything's plastic, not metal. Also, this laptop is seriously thick and heavy: over 1 inch thick and 5.3 pounds. The 15.6-inch-screen Asus

Sony SRS-BTX500 Premium Bluetooth Wireless Speaker

The product: 
Like a lot of these Bluetooth speakers that don't feature any sort of dock, the SRS-BTX500 has a clean, sleek look, and the speaker is a classic example of Sony's design prowess. If there's a fault, it's that the matte finish on the back scratches pretty easily if you rub it up against a rough or sharp surface. But otherwise it's really nice. It has a bit of brushed metal on the sides and measures 15.1 inches wide and 6 inches tall, and has a depth of 2.5 inches.

Sony Action Cam

The product: 
The size and weight of the Action Cam are impressive. The supercompact camcorder measures 2 inches high by 2.6 inches deep by 0.9 inch wide and only weighs about 3.2 ounces with its included NP-BX1 battery pack (a tray is included for use with Sony's NP-BG1 battery, too). That means there's less camera to strap to the side of your head or wherever else you plan to

Sony Xperia™ L

The camera experts’ camera phone
 Xperia L, the Android mobile designed with Sony’s leading camera expertise.

Yahoo for iOS

The product: 

Yahoo app is focused on the latest headlines, bringing more personalization to your news feed, quick summaries for easy reading, and good-looking article pages with photo backdrops.

This is not the app you're going to use to check your e-mail or access most of the other services that Yahoo provides, but what the app does well is bring you the latest news in an intuitive layout.

You have the option to view headlines in a clean list if that is your preference,

Sony Xperia™ SP

Closer to reality

The 4.6” screen of the Xperia SP HD phone is so vivid you feel you’re in the middle of it all – no matter what you’re viewing. The Reality Display is powered by Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2. That means razor sharp images, vibrant colours and the enhanced contrast you recognize from Sony TVs.

Icona Vulcano is a 900-HP V-12 Hybrid – 2013 Shanghai

Shanghai-based Icona’s new Vulcano supercar has boldly styled curves that demand a second look.

Debuting at the 2013 Shanghai auto show, the Icona Vulcano makes us wonder: How do you think a car with this design might fare parked next to other supercars?

The Icona design studios created the Vulcano after styling the Fuselage sedan. Perhaps in contrast to McLaren’s approach with the P1, Icona was looking for a balance between aerodynamic efficiency and

Google Glass Explorer Edition starts shipping

Google has informed developer members of its Glass Explorers team that the first wave of Glass prototypes

is ready to go out to them.

Anandtech’s Brian Klug received an email from the company that said the hardware and software are ready and the “first few devices” are coming off the production line. Though there aren’t enough yet for all Explorers, Google is going to send them in batches, notifying members as they’re ready.

“We know you’ve been standing by patiently to get

ViewSonic VX2460H-LED monitor

The product: 
ViewSonic VX2460H-LED is a 24-inch monitor with a 1080p resolution and dual HDMI ports. With a price of only $200, the aforementioned specs alone are enough to recommend it to those looking for a general-purpose monitor. Luckily, it has a bit more to offer.

There's a 16-degree back-tilt option and 5 degrees of front tilt, but no other ergonomic options exist. The display sits on a "Y"-shaped foot stand that's 10.5 inches in width at its widest and extends back about 2.5

Audi R8 V10 Plus 2013

For this coupe-only R8 Plus, that means the 5.2-litre V10 is cranked up to 542bhp, the ceramic brakes,

bucket seats and carbonfibre parts (like the front spoiler, rear diffuser and sideblades) trim away 50kg, and Plus-specific suspension means revised spring and damper rates. It’s £12k more than a standard 518bhp R8 V10, on which the seats and brakes alone are options worth £9500. Plus (sorry) it’s only 10bhp down on the outgoing limited-edition 552bhp R8 GT, but £20k cheaper. It’s almost a bargain.

Samsung Galaxy S4 vs. HTC One

Screen
Samsung Galaxy S4

Perhaps the most striking thing about the GS4 is its massive 5-inch HD Super AMOLED display. It also features a sharp 1,920x1,080-pixel resolution and a pixel density of 441ppi (pixels per inch).

HTC One
HTC gave the One a 4.7-inch LCD screen that's slightly smaller than the Galaxy S4's but boasts the same 1,920x1,080 resolution. As a result, the HTC One's display has a higher pixel density of 468ppi.

iPhone 5S Will Carry A 12-Megapixel Camera

Rumors of what the next iPhone will and will not feature were not already reaching silly

proportions, the latest news on the street is that Apple’s next flagship smartphone will feature a shiny new 12-megapixel camera and improved night time shooting.

Apple’s iPhone 5S release date is slated for later this year, and one Vietnamese blog claims to have had a tip that it will receive a much improved camera when compared to the currently shipping iPhone 5.

Moshi Mythro Stylish Personal Earbuds

The product: 
Moshi is probably better known for its stylish iPhone and iPad cases, but it also makes several different models of earphones with intriguing designs -- and names.

The in-ear model reviewed here, the Mythro, is named in honor of mithril, the fictional metal found in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth. Silvery in appearance, mithril is stronger than steel but considerably lighter. It's not surprising then that Moshi's Mythro Stylish Personal Earbuds are nice and lightweight. They're also comfortable, and feature excellent sound for the money, as well as an integrated microphone, making them a bargain at their price of $30.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 and Galaxy Tab 3 8.0

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 will run on Andrdoid 4.1 Jelly Bean and will be powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core CPU and will have 1GB of RAM. That might as well be a typo as the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 is said to have 2 gigs of operating memory. Unfortunately, earlier reports of a 2560 x 1600 pixel display weren't confirmed and the new rumors point to a resolution of just 1280 x 800 pixels.

Facebook Home

The product: 
Facebook Home for Android is an interesting, and odd, experiment from the big dog in social

networking. On the one hand, the home-screen replacement software introduces some daring, even likable, ideas about how to interact with your friends on your phone -- and soon, on your tablet. On the other hand, Home is very much first-generation software that could use more time in the oven to become truly useful for Facebook fanatics.

The software, which supplants your home screen interface with images and status updates from

WeVideo for Android

The product: 
Perhaps the best thing about WeVideo for Android is the app's interface. It's as simple as it gets and should be easy to pick up even for those without any video editing experience at all. Conveniently, the app opens up to your Media Library, which shows off all of the videos, images, and audio files stored on your device, so there's no need to import anything into the app before editing. The bad thing here is that your Media Library will not show you any media that you have uploaded directly to your cloud account from a desktop, so in your mobile video projects, you'll

V-Moda Remix Remote headphone

The product: 

As the audio industry continues its mission to convince everyone that it's worth spending money on a decent pair of headphones, the V-Moda Remix Remotes are a great example of how companies
should earn that trust. They're featherweight at just 17 grams, though their all-metal earbud construction means more for long-term durability than the simple glued-together plastic aesthetic used by the

Asus Memo Pad ME172V

The product: 
The Memo Pad does include a microSD slot, something the Nexus 7doesn’t have; however, even at $60 more, the Nexus 7 is clearly the better product. It’s faster, includes the very latest version of Android, and its sharp screen can be viewed from nearly any angle -- not something the Memo Pad can claim.

The ME172V is aimed at people looking to save a few bucks on their tablet purchase, but the budget-conscious would be better served by

Denon AVR-E400

The product: 
Like nearly every other mainstream AV receiver, the Denon AVR-E400 is a huge metal box. It looks a little more pedestrian than some older Denon models, which had subtly curved front panels, but its relatively uncluttered front panel is more tasteful than most. While I'd say the aesthetics of the AVR-E400 are better

Panasonic TC-PST60 series

The product: 

The ST60 gets the nonilluminated remote that shipped with step-down models like the UT50. Tweaks for 2013 include are mostly improvements (dedicated "Netflix key, better labeling, and a few extra keys) but there are exceptions. "Apps" and "Home," both part of the Smart TV suite, get too-prominent keys while "Menu" is tiny. More than a few times I accidentally hit "Home" instead of the Up cursor.

The TV has two separate menu systems -- one

Stay Alight! for iOS

The product: 
Stay Alight! (iPhone|iPad) is a destruction game that is somewhat similar to Angry Birds, but in this game, you play as Mr. Bulb and it's your job to take out the monster microbes.

Instead of flinging objects like you would in Angry Birds, with this game you're shooting an energy projectile that bounces off walls. So to get the best trajectory and power, you'll need to both think about where your targets are and how the projectile will bounce through the level to hit as many monster microbes as possible. Like many games in this genre, you can get as high as a 3-star rating for each level, but it's unclear in my testing what determines the rating.

HTC First

The product: 
Look beyond Facebook Home, though, and you'll find an exceedingly basic stock Android handset with

none of HTC's characteristic attention to detail or well-crafted flair. Facebook and HTC -- and AT&T, for that matter -- have travel this road before, also with questionable results. While the First is by no means as quirky or as limited as the HTC Status -- in fact, it offers quite competent midtier features like an HD screen, dual-core processor, and passable 5-megapixel camera. Yet, the physical design also stops short of delivering a compelling experience as unique as Facebook's mobile aspirations.

At least the First is pretty comfortable to hold,

Samsung Galaxy Note 8

The product: 

The Note 8 is arguably Samsung's best tablet yet, but depending on your experience with the company's

offerings, the weight of such an acknowledgement will vary dramatically. If you're a stylus devotee that liked what you saw in the Note 10.1, you'll be happy to know that thanks to some software upgrades, the Note 8 integrates the stylus, or S Pen, in a smaller package with fewer seams and a more impressive screen. Still, if you're not an artist and have no interest in coming near a stylus anytime soon, go for one of the many cheaper options.

JBL Charge portable Bluetooth speaker

The product: 

This is a wireless speaker, but it's called the Charge for a reason: it has a USB port that allows you to use the speaker's built-in 6,000mAh lithium-ion battery to charge other portable devices, such as a smartphone or tablet.

While all these compact speakers have their sound limitations, the Charge is one of the better-sounding speakers for its size and price point, besting the Jawbone Jambox, Beats Pill, and $99 models such as the Flip and Logitech UE Mobile Boombox.

Of course, the advantage to those models is that

Harman Kardon BT

The product: 
Harman Kardon makes a few different full-size headphones, including the Classic (CL), Noise Canceling (NC), and Bluetooth (BT). They all offer excellent sound quality and have very distinct designs, with a modern take on an old-school double headband and square earcups that harken back a little to the Bowers & Wilkins P3 and P5 headphones.

The BT model reviewed here looks almost identical to the over-the-ear NC model, but it features wireless audio streaming for smartphones and other

Monoprice Noise Canceling Headphone

The product: 
This is Monoprice's M.O. It's the electronics equivalent of a generic drug company, selling much cheaper

versions of pricier name-brand products. In true Monoprice fashion, the headphones are simply called "Noise Canceling Headphone (with Active Noise Reduction Technology)." They start at around $113 if you want a single pair, but as with most Monoprice products, if you purchase them in larger quantities, the price goes down, dipping to a $100 unit price if

Afinia H-Series H479

The product: 

The high price of this printer will remain an issue for many consumers. Post-print cleanup with certain

materials can also be a hassle. The fact that you can achieve good prints so easily and so quickly, though, makes the H479 easy to recommend. If you're willing to spend more than $1,000 on a 3D printer, the Afinia H479 should be at or near the top of your list.

If the H479 looks familiar, it's because Afinia licensed the design from Chinese manufacturer Delta Micro Factory, maker of the UP! 3D printer. You can find the Up for sale from various international resellers, including U.S.-

Samsung Galaxy Mega handsets with 5.8" and 6.3" screens

An information comes from an inside source, who confirmed that two Galaxy Mega smartphones are in the works. The first is codenamed Galaxy Mega 5.8 with a model number GT-I9152. Obviously, we are talking about a handset with 5.8-inch display and the model number pointing to its dual-SIM nature.

More interestingly, the second one is carrying the codename Galaxy Mega 6.3, which hints at a 6.3-inch display - the same as the Galaxy Note III is
