Out of the brutal gauntlet that is the HWM and HardwareZone.com testing labs, only the worthy are bestowed with the coveted Editor's Choice. Herein lies the best products and innovations of 2018.
BEST COLOR OFFICE PRINTER
EPSON WORKFORCE PRO WF-C5790
After days of testing, we believe that the Epson WorkForce Pro WF-C5790, a color inkjet printer, is the best sub-$600 printer to get for office use. The WF-C5790 uses Epson’s Replaceable Ink Pack System (RIPS), which basically consists of four packets of ink (the usual cyan, magenta, yellow, and black colors) capable of printing up to 3,000 pages in black-and-white and 3,000 pages in color.
At 24ipm, the WF-C5790 prints fast too. In fact, it prints faster than both the Brother MFC-L3770CDW and HP LaserJet Pro M281fdw in both simplex and duplex modes.
Print quality-wise, the WF-C5790 will also give laser printers a run for their money. We found both printed documents and photos to look sharp and vibrant, with gradations well handled.

Brother MFC-L3770CDW • Epson WorkForce Pro WF-C5790 • HP Color LaserJet Pro M281fdw
BEST MESH NETWORKING SYSTEM
D- LINK COVR 2202
The D-Link Covr-2202 easily takes this category thanks to its great performance, ease of use, and overall feature set. Performance was outstanding across all of our tests, whether as a single unit or in a mesh network. Its speeds were higher and also more consistent across all tested ranges when compared to its rivals. And since the nodes are paired right out of the box, setup was a breeze. Although it doesn't have the rich features of some of its rivals, it checks the basics such as guest networking and parental controls more comprehensively.

BIGGER DISPLAY, BUT WHAT ELSE?

The Amazfit Balance is designed to compete with Fitbit, Garmin, and Huawei devices, while maintaining independence by being compatible with both iOS and Android. Priced at $352, and often discounted below $300, it's a value-packed option.
It's Upgrade Time
As the tenth anniversary of the Apple Watch approached, rumours about a revolutionary device with a dramatic design change swirled-the Apple Watch X. But as it turns out, we got the Apple Watch Series 10 instead.
