The good: Tablet-style, touchscreen, controls 15 devices; RF-ready; includes rechargeable battery and docking station; Web-programmable and compatible with Windows and Macintosh PCs; less expensive than competing tablet models.

The bad: RF module is optional; screen drains battery quickly; no easy way to use in different rooms; lacks design and programming flexibility; setting up systems with more than five or six components can get pretty tricky.

The bottom line: The Logitech Harmony 1100 is an excellent touchscreen universal remote that corrects most of the shortcomings and frustrations of its predecessor, but its high price will relegate it to high-end home theaters only.
