This page was last edited on 4 October , at Around this time each year, the editors at PCWorld and TechHive gather to recognize the best new tech products—the hardware, software, gadgets, and devices that had the biggest impact on the world.
The process starts out casually enough, because editors get to name their favorites from their respective beats, and everything is included in the first pass. But passions rise when the time comes to winnow what inevitably becomes a very long list to just new products. A list with computers, smartphones, printers, cloud services, and other great products inexorably emerges over the course of a few weeks. That came together surprisingly quickly this year—at least for the top 10 products.

Intel brings its 22nm fabrication process to the mass market. Though these CPUs sip power, they pack a big performance punch. Desktop systems idling at under 70 watts and laptops delivering 8-hour battery life are practically commonplace now.

Microsoft Surface RT tablet. Absolutely superb. Amazon Kindle Fire HD tablet. More important, the company is selling the Kindle Fire HD at an incredibly low price for a tablet with an expensive optically bonded display. Google Nexus 7 Android tablet. We saw plenty of cheap Android tablets in , but not one that was a worthy contender for this list.
Falcon Northwest Tiki mini-gaming PC. Adobe Creative Suite 6 artistic software. A luggable all-in-one with a inch, point multitouch display that runs on either AC or battery power, this could be the perfect family PC. Or is it a humongous family tablet? Either way, it shows that Windows 8 is inspiring PC manufacturers to innovate. Raspberry Pi basic Linux PC. Conceived as a tool that would encourage students to learn how to program long before they entered college, the low, low price tag on this Linux-powered computer also makes it the perfect platform for hobbyists interested in building experimental projects.

Stardock, known for desktop customization software Fences and ObjectDock, responded with Start8, an inexpensive utility that adds a StartMenu to the new OS and allows you to disable the new hot corners to make your transition less jarring.

Windows NT 3. Windows 5 The potential was awesome. It was 32 bits! Well, sort of. DOS was dead! Uh, kinda. The reality was frustrating. Living through the evolution of Plug and Play was no fun, and the perennial problem of 64K system resource heaps meant that it had to be rebooted way more often than it should have.
Two service releases got rid of some problems, and a steady stream of 32—bit applications made for fun.
