2012年最佳电子产品大盘点

苹果iPad，499美元

在推出高分辨率视网膜屏幕版本的iPad后仅过了7个月，苹果公司就再一次对其占据统治地位的平板产品进行了升级。这一次的变化更加细微：处理器速度提升为原来的两倍，无线接收性能增强，充电接口变样。

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.

飞利浦Hue智能灯泡，199美元

飞利浦公司（Phillips）的Hue智能灯泡对家居照明爱好者来说也许就相当于“圣杯”。它们的亮度相当于传统的50瓦灯泡，但更加灵活，并且可以通过iOS或安卓应用控制发出几乎任何一种颜色的光线。另外，由于它们是LED（发光二级管），耗电量要比一般灯泡少80%，而寿命可以达到15年。

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比苹果的iPad mini更小，而重量则相近，其屏幕分辨率比iPad mini更高，实际显示效果也比亚马逊公司的Kindle Fire HD更好。
