| | With their quad-core processors and 4G data speeds, smart phones have never been more powerful--or more power hungry.

If you want a smartphone that endures, check out the handsets that made our list. These devices lasted at least 6.5 hours on the LAPTOP Battery Test, which involves continuous web surfing over 4G at 40 percent brightness. See for yourself which smartphones truly go the distance.  | | | |

|  | | |  | | | The Dell XPS 12 turned our heads last year with its unique flip-display design, making it a cinch to change from laptop to tablet mode. The latest edition looks to build on that success by shaving off some ounces and seriously boosting the battery life so you can more easily use this tablet-laptop hybrid on the go. With a $1,199 starting price, the new XPS 12 is somewhat more expensive than its competitors, so is it worth it?  | | | |  | | | Unless you had a lot of money to burn, chances are you didn't opt for the maximum amount of storage when you bought your MacBook or Ultrabook. But, with the increasing size of multimedia files, there's also a good chance that you're running out of space. The OWC Envoy Pro EX is a small external SSD that looks as good as your Mac, and transfers files just as quickly. At $314, this 240GB drive isn't cheap, but it's worth the investment if you prioritize performance.  | | | | | | |
