Stop! Don't go holiday shopping until you check out PCMag's best products of the year.
Merriam-Webster's dictionary defines the word "best" as "better than
all others in quality or value." That's something we see a lot of at
PCMag: every year our analysts review and rate over 2,000 products. They
look at computer systems, cameras, mobile devices, software, games,
networks, and much more. And every year products improve on the previous
year's offerings, both in quality and value. That's why we share with
you an annual list of the greatest products.
Of course, you can always consult specific product categories and check our Editors' Choices, and sometimes one category will have many excellent offerings. But oftentimes that's not good enough. You want things narrowed down; you want the winner amongst the winners. That's why we badger the analysts to pick one and only one device in every category for this list.
You won't see just the same old categories as previous years either. We've got several new types of products this year as we keep up with changing technology. For example, 2013 is the first time we're including wearables because smartwatches and digital health/fitness devices (and apps) have come a long way. We also include a high-end toy that's fun for mature children and playful adults alike. The cloud is also making a huge impact on daily life, so we've added our first cloud storage product to the list. We were sure to include everyone—even nascent 3D printers make the cut this year.
One category sadly missing is game consoles. The current crop of consoles is long in the tooth and the new generation—specifically PlayStation 4 and Xbox One—were not available for testing as we published this list. But check back on PCMag in the coming days for full coverage and reviews.
In our list you'll find 100 products in 99 categories. We had one tie, and the products were so great we decided to include both. Of those products, 95 earned our Editors' Choice seal of approval. What's more, 10 of the products earned a perfect score of five stars: Apple MacBook Air 13-Inch, Grand Theft Auto V, Lego Mindstorms EV3, Spaceteam for Android, ifttt, Photoshop, Flipboard for iPad, Synology Diskstation DS1812+ NAS, a Leica camera lens, and the amazing Olympus OM-D mirrorless camera. Those are all products our testers consider flawless in their current incarnations—and they're only likely to get better. The remaining products in this list all boast an impressive 4-star rating at least.
To be eligible for consideration the product had to be reviewed by analysts in our Labs between November 1, 2012 and November 1, 2013. Our experts use industry-standard benchmarks and several tests developed in-house to get quantifiable, reliable, and reproducible results. Only products that are put through the paces and come out on top make it into "The Best Products of 2013."
And now, we proudly present PCMag's list of the Best Products of 2013. Drumroll please!
