Do you love to shop? Love poring over the tiny type in online spec sheets while juggling browser windows from five different Web stores? How about traipsing down the aisles of a computer store hearing dubious technical data from salespeople who'd rather be selling TVs? If you don't love doing these things--but still want the best tech products--you've come to the right place.

Each year at PC World we seek out the best of the best--hardware, software, Web sites, and services that rise above their competitors. In each category, we look for a product that mixes top performance, good value, a reliable manufacturer, and preferably a dash of innovation. In the following pages are our 59 top choices for the 21st World Class Awards, from a hybrid phone that puts the Web in your pocket to a slick new Web-based e-mail service.
