Buying guides, ranked honestly

Each guide ranks a whole category with the criteria stated up front, marks clearly which devices got weeks of hands-on testing, and includes the budget pick when the budget pick is genuinely enough. Only one brand on these lists pays us anything, and the rankings say so in plain sight.
