Logitech Harmony 700

The Harmony 700 is a fine remote, but Logitech's older universal remotes outclass it in features and value.
Logitech G500

If you loved the G5, you'll continue loving the G500, the natural evolution of Logitech's classic gaming mouse. Though Microsoft brings stiff competition in the form of the SideWinder X8, which may be more appealing to some.
Logitech Rechargeable Speaker S315i

The Logitech Rechargeable Speaker S315i offers good sound quality in a compact, durable package; it's a solid choice for iPod owners who are constantly on the go.
Logitech G330

The G330 may not sound great, but it's certainly one of the most comfortable headphones around.
Logitech Wireless Mouse M505

The Wireless M505 Mouse is a good choice for anyone using Logitech's Unifying USB transceiver, which also works with some of the company's keyboards, but it's priced a bit high considering its limited button layout.
Logitech Speaker System Z320

Logitech's Speaker System Z320 offers good looks and decent sound quality at a reasonable price. The speakers are rather lacking on the bass front, though.
Dell Studio One 19

There's a decent but not great PC hiding behind the Studio One 19's touchscreen gimmickry.
Logitech G19

Logitech's G19 Gaming Keyboard boasts a built-in colour LCD with exciting capabilities, as well as lots of little improvements over previous models. But with few apps — thus far — that take advantage of the screen in a meaningful way, the G19's potential remains largely untapped.
