Wouldn't it be great if you could test-drive whatever new product you were interested in? In the August edition of PCWorld, we gave three readers two multifunction printers that promised to meet their specific needs, and let them use each printer for a week. Find out which printers they liked better ans why, and learn how you can find your best fit, too. Also in August's issue, PCWorld takes a look at "smart TV"--combining the normal TV experience with search features, video on demand, social networking, photo sharing, music, gaming, and a hundred kinds of Web content. Check out the products and services that can feed the Web through your TV. Also, this issue investigates cleanup utilities, which claim to speed up PC performance by getting rid of clutter. We tested four, and got surprising results. And don't miss our collection of essential apps for every phone.

We welcome your comments about any of the tips, reviews, and news in the latest issue. Send your feedback to our editorial director:
