|  | | |  | | | Is it time to ditch Windows and Macs for Chrome OS? HP's Chromebook 14 certainly makes the case. For those who mainly use their notebook to surf the Web, watch videos and send email, this Chromebook (starting at $299; $349 as configured) may be all you need. With a large 14-inch display, long battery life, free 4G and an attractive design, HP's laptop will force you to take a second look at this lightweight OS.  | | | |  | | | The original HTC One was one of the best smartphones of 2013, but it still played second fiddle to Samsung's Galaxy S4. But rather than changing its approach, HTC took everything we loved about the first One and made it better. Sporting an even sexier metal design, a larger 5-inch display, louder BoomSound speakers and an innovative dual rear camera, the HTC One M8 ($199 on contract) blows away its predecessor. Add in nearly 10 hours of battery life, and the new One has what it takes to blow away the competition, too.  | | | | | | |
