Panasonic DVD-LS86
This 8.5-inch DVD player “can play movies for—are you ready for this?—
13 hours on a battery charge.” That’s at least six full-length films. The wonder of it is that the device is no larger or bulkier than similar players. Price: $200

MacBook Air
Apple’s sleek new portable computer “is officially the thinnest laptop” on the market. This “simply gorgeous” machine weighs just three pounds, has a 13-inch screen, and a full-size keyboard. But be warned: To fit all that in, they’ve eliminated the CD drive. Price: $1,799
