In 2022, our team of experts found 81 products and services that we believe are worthy of celebration in seven categories and most importantly honoring with the CNET Editors’ Choice Award.
from smart phoneslaptops and tablets We use it daily to stay in touch with the routers, monitors and other essential hardware that make our digital ecosystems work, and we continue to rely on technology to make sure we communicate and collaborate as easily and effectively as possible.
We did deep dives to find the best TVs, Bluetooth speakers, kitchen gadgets, robot vacuums, software and online services; including VPNs to keep your data private, and language apps when many of you travel again.
The result of all that work has led us to choose the CNET Editors’ Choice Awards, which we honor this year with a new badge that we’ll use to identify these highlights in our reviews, best lists, product comparisons, and more. Stories on our site.
Our mission, as always, is to help you navigate our changing world, whether you’re looking for premium hardware or more affordable options. And we back up those selections with: comprehensive tips, explainers and how-to guides. Keep in mind that these products and services were evaluated in 2022 to help you decide what gear to add to your life in 2023.

One more note: In terms of innovation, 2022 was an overall modest year with an emphasis on building products to make them better rather than blowing up new categories.
Even so, we’re happy to have pushed the boundaries and found four products that we think deserve another CNET award: our Innovation Award, which rewards technology that brings new and remarkable ideas to market. Check out our list below.
We’re delighted to continue CNET’s tradition of rewarding products that deliver the best combination of performance, design, and value. We’d love to hear your favourites, too. Find CNET on your favorite social media channel and tell us what you think.
