Editors' Choice: TomTom Go 740 Live

TomTom hit the road running with its latest offering, which steered us so well we had to give it an Editors' Choice. The TomTom Go 740 Live is the manufacturer's first connected-GPS device, offering up-to-the-minute traffic data, weather forecasts, fuel prices, and Local Search powered by Google. Its menus are a little more clunky than our other favorite, the Garmin Nuvi 880, but it's superior to the Garmin in other areas.

Lenovo IdeaCentre A600 3011

But a faster competitor and a careless design turns us off from this particular A600 configuration. You might consider a different A600 build if you can live with the design, but we can't recommend the $749 version. Read more
