1. The Smartest Spectacle
There’s no doubt that televisions are
evolving at a rapid pace, improving panel sizes and picture quality, while
adding richer features that make year-old sets look stale. The Samsung F8000 is
a perfect example of this, introducing technology that belongs in the future.
This Smart LED TV series, available with 46- to 75-inch panel sizes, is the
first of its kind to utilize a quad-core processor, which boosts start-up times
and browsing speeds significantly. As for picture quality, Samsung’s Micro
Dimming and Precision Black technologies are at hand for maximum clarity and
detail. The physique is another feature to admire, owning an incredibly slim
bezel and a discrete stand that blends with the set’s beauty. And of course, it
wouldn’t be a smart device without interactivity and apps, such as its voice
and gesture controls, and a host of Samsung apps and services.

2. Strike A Yoga Pose
Who says notebooks must tick to one stale
form factor? With the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11S, you have four models to choose
from: stand, tent, tablet, and the traditional laptop mode. Choose whatever
suits your needs, then employ its potent internals. For starters, the
notebook-tablet hybrid comes with a third-generation Intel Core i5 processor,
up to 8GB of RAM, and large SSD storage to power its fully functional Windows 8
operating system. Adding to the functionality is a multi-touch 11.6-inch HD IPS
display with a resolution of 1600 x 900 pixels and a generously sized keyboard.
Making the IdeaPad Yoga 11S even more amazing is its pleasantly thin profile
which houses all that power.

3. Master Against The Elements
In your hands or underwater, the Sony
Xperia Z is out to make a statement – a big one at that. As the latest
smartphone to come out of Sony’s labs, this Android Jelly Bean-powered device
also happens to be dust- and water-resistant. But those aren’t the only
highlights, as this phone is also equipped with a 5-inch display using Sony’s
Mobile Bravia engine 2 to render its grand 1080p resolution. Under the hood is
a 1.5GHz quad-core processor and LTE connectivity for the best possible speeds.
If capturing quick moments is important to you, then you’ll be glad to know
that the Xperia Z has an astounding 13-megapixel camera that can also shoot
Full HD videos, as well as a handy 2.2-megapixel front-facing camera. With so
much going on, it’s easy to forget that it’s only 7.9mm-thin and still manages
to hold a hefty 2330mAh battery.

4. Limited Edition Power
The ASUS ROG ARES II may come out in
limited quantities, but there’s definitely nothing limited when it comes to its
specs. Armed with two AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz edition GPUs, this beast of a
graphics card introduces a new hybrid thermal design that combines liquid and
air cooling to keep all its power in check. It also has a substantial amount of
GDDR5 video memory at 6GB for incredible amounts of detail at ultra-high
resolutions in the latest video games. Prolonging the lifespan of the ROG ARES
II is a special 20-phase Super Alloy Power architecture to withstand heat and
stress, along with ASUS DIGI+ VRM digital voltage regulation for more precise
overclocking control.

5. The New Retro
The look may be old-school, but the
Fujifilm X100s’s internals certainly standout in the modern age. It is the
highly anticipated successor to the well-received x100, and despite the minimal
name change, the x100S packs an even more serious punch. This premium compact
camera has a 16.3-megapixel x-Trans CMOS sensor similar to that of its higher
end siblings, together with on-sensor phase detection for blazing fast
autofocus speeds. The new exR Processor II image processor generates photos quicker
as well, so you’ll be able to take more shots in less time. To the delight of
many, the hybrid electronic viewfinder and fixed 23mm f/2.0 lens have made
their comebacks, both of which have been improved for greater viewing, more
accurate composing, and easier handling.
