Editor’s Choice 2024: Best Technology Gifts
These are CNET’s Editors Choice Awards. Our top product recommendations for gift technology including phones, laptops, earbuds, smartwatches, TVs and more. This year’s Editors’ Choice is the iPhone 16. The main reason for this is because of the small improvements that add up over time. For $800, you can get a faster new processor that can support action buttons, dynamic islands, and Apple Intelligence. In 2024, you will have much more available to you than just a few years ago. The 2024 Motorola Razor plus deserves an Editor’s Choice Award. Simply because the bold colors and vegan leather back are really fun. It also has a small cover screen that allows you to use the phone in the palm of your hand. It is one of the most fun and entertaining mobile phones. You can see that it has been tested all year round. My choice for this scene is Apple watch series 10. This is the most sophisticated Apple watch to date. It’s slimmer and lighter than previous versions. It has an easy-to-read screen, and some dials even feature a ticking seconds hand, making it feel more like a traditional watch than ever. Google pixel watch 3 deserves cnet’s editor’s choice award. Because it’s a great all-around smartwatch for Android with plenty of tools for runners, and it comes in two sizes for an editor’s choice. The sound is better and the fit is a little better. But the fact that Apple was able to pull off a set of noise canceling and open earbuds is impressive. As an editor, my picks are the Ear Fun Air Pro four earbuds. These are a set of noise-cancelling earphones that are relatively low-priced yet very robust. M 3 Macbook Air is an Editors’ Choice for its performance design and battery life. Need a portable laptop for home work or school with more than enough power for everyday tasks, but 10 creations and other tasks that require extra performance with Surface Laptop Seven Ideal for people who have some leeway. Windows is a true rival to Apple’s Macbook Air, and in our battery tests it actually beats the Macbook Air’s battery life, clocking in at nearly 20 hours. Our editors’ pick for the best overall TV of 2024 is the Samsung S 95 D. It combines the superior picture quality of O LED with a superior matte screen that reduces reflections better than other OE TVs. When CNET editors tested the best high-end TV values of 2024, the LGC 4 was chosen. This is an organic EL TV with excellent picture quality. Perfect if you’re looking for a turntable with a wide range of screen sizes and a relatively affordable price. As an editor, I chose the audio technica AT 70 X. This is a $200 turntable with automatic operation and very good sound. Our editors’ pick for the best DVR is the $100 Tableau. This is a wireless DVR that offers great ease of use and no ongoing subscription fees.
