Amazon Echo: It understands your spoken commands from across the room, no matter what you’re doing. By starting every command with its name, Alexa, it automatically knows when you’re addressing it. “Alexa” can answer any questions you might have about sports, weather, unit

conversions, news, geography, facts or just about anything on Wikipedia. She can even tell jokes or reorder something you’ve previously ordered on Amazon. Since Echo works with various music

apps through a rich Bluetooth speaker, you can also ask her to play music. While its vocabulary is somewhat limited, this device is off to a great start.

Apple Watch: While the Apple Watch isn’t the first smartwatch to be released, it’s still been able to make a huge splash in the media world. It’s a nicely-designed accessory that allows wearers to check the news, weather forecasts and social media without having to pull out their phones.

Research Kit: This software toolkit allows researchers to write iPhone apps for medical studies. While this might sound strange, it allows researchers to track countless bytes of

useful data by monitoring activity, sleep, heartbeat and much more. It has a great potential to unlock that data and safely make it available to researchers without violating your privacy. As the phone owner, you have total control over how much of your data you

want to share, how long you want to share it and which studies you want to join.

Galaxy S6: Not only is this arguably the most

attractive smartphone that Samsung has ever

produced, but it also has one of the best cameras of any phone out there. It’s

fast, has a gorgeous display and metal body and boasts

both a mobile payment system and built-in fingerprint reader.

LG G4: Much like the Galaxy S6, the LG G4 has

got an exceptional camera, that can capture

the most accurate and colorful image out of any major smartphone on the

market. In a series of tests that compared this phone to the S6, Note 4, iPhone 6, 6 Plus and the

M9, it offered the sharpest and most vivid photos of

them all.

Lenovo LaVie Z: Even though it isn’t as attractive as Apple’s signature sleek, minimalist computers, it’s lighter than any

other 13-inch laptop on the market, with the processing power to edit photos and videos without slowing down.

MacBook: Ever since the iMac debuted without a floppy drive, it seems like Apple designers have been trying to take away anything that’s not absolutely essential.

Their new product is super thin and light, There’s only one USB-C port, which handles both power and data connections. While some might think Apple’s gone too far, plenty

of others find that this works just fine.

Nintendo 3DS XL: Even though they’ve dominated the handheld video game business since the 1990s, this doesn’t mean they haven’t stopped constantly tweaking its systems,

as can be seen with their new 3DS XL. From intelligently repositioned switched to an analog stick nestled above the face buttons, there are improvements everywhere. Of

course, it isn’t perfect, but when compared to other platforms, it remains the best handheld video game system on the market.

Roku 3: There are plenty of boxes that stream Internet content to your big-screen TV, but none of them are as reliable or easy-to-use as the Roku 3. With over 2,000 channels to

choose from, the Roku 3 allows you to search for something to watch by just speaking the name of a show or channel into the remote. It will even alert you when shows you’ve been

waiting to watch are finally available.

Sling TV: The arrival of this product is great news for anybody that likes watching sports and other live TV but hates paying their cable provider for it. For just $20 a month, this app delivers a dozen popular “cable stations” to any connected device. And for another

$5 a month each, you can add packages offering more channels. While there are occasional connection problems, the Sling TV is an exceptional device whenever it’s

working.
