Next Week: iPhone 6 Battery CasesAfter testing the few iPhone 6 battery cases that are actually available now, we found that one was better than the rest (so far). The $70 uNu DX-6 Protective Battery Case is the cheapest case we tested, and it also boasts the best charge value for your money (1.7 percent of a charge per dollar).

It’s also the lightest in weight, and we prefer its slide-on case to the clip-on style of our runner-up choice. —Andrew The Best Budget Gaming Laptop There’s no such thing as a perfect budget gaming laptop, and every one we’ve tested so far has at least one serious flaw.

The GL551 has uncommonly good build quality compared to nearly everything else in this category, keeps the most important parts of a gaming laptop at a reasonable temperature—which cannot be said about the competition—and has a comfortable keyboard.
