How we rank

We rank every gadget by what you actually get for what you pay. That means features per dollar, subscription costs factored in, and how it stacks up against competitors at the same price. A $200 gadget that outperforms $400 alternatives scores high. A $3,500 headset with limited apps scores low. Your wallet will thank you.
