2012年最佳電子產品大盤點

蘋果iPad，499美元

在推出高分辨率視網膜屏幕版本的iPad后僅過了7個月，蘋果公司就再一次對其占據統治地位的平板產品進行了升級。這一次的變化更加細微：處理器速度提升為原來的兩倍，無線接收性能增強，充電接口變樣。

Apple iPad, $499

Just seven months after Apple unveiled an iPad with the ultrasharp Retina Display, it updated the reigning tablet champ again. This time the changes are more subtle: processor performance up to twice as fast, improved wireless Internet reception, and a new charging cord.

飛利浦Hue智能燈泡，199美元

飛利浦公司（Phillips）的Hue智能燈泡對家居照明愛好者來說也許就相當于“圣杯”。它們的亮度相當于傳統的50瓦燈泡，但更加靈活，并且可以通過iOS或安卓應用控制發出幾乎任何一種顏色的光線。另外，由于它們是LED（發光二級管），耗電量要比一般燈泡少80%，而壽命可以達到15年。

Phillips Hue, $199

For home lighting enthusiasts, Phillips Hue may very well be the holy grail. They're just as bright as the traditional 50 watt bulb, but more versatile, capable of emitting virtually any color with an iOS or Android app. And because they're LED, they use 80% less power and last up to 15 years.

Nook HD平板，199美元

Nook HD比蘋果的iPad mini更小，而重量則相近，其屏幕分辨率比iPad mini更高，實際顯示效果也比亞馬遜公司的Kindle Fire HD更好。

The Nook HD is smaller than Apple's iPad mini. It is nearly as light. Its high-resolution screen trumps the iPad mini's and is actually sharper than the one on Amazon's Kindle Fire HD.
