Large and unagitated. The L1 from Ausome comes with an ABE and is therefore legal to ride on German roads. Despite its massive look and large battery, the e-scooter rides tamely. The L1 doesn't have any technical gimmicks, but it does have excellent brakes. We tried it out on long and short distances.

Small mouse, big speed. The Akko V9 Dash Ultra is a relatively lightweight wireless mouse with 8 kHz polling rate support in both wired and wireless modes. It has tri-mode connectivity and features the performance-focused PixArt PAW3950 sensor, but can it offer a comfortable grip on most hands?

Too much power for the 14-inch MBP. Apple's new high-end chip M5 Max is once again also available for the compact MacBook Pro 14. We test the fastest version with the 40-core GPU, 128 GB RAM and 8 TB of blazing fast PCIe 5.0 storage. But the M5 Max might just be too powerful for the 14-inch MacBook Pro... Update: M5 Max is a beast in Adobe and DaVinci benchmarks

Super small size. The NucBox K13 is one of the smallest mini PCs yet sporting an Intel Lunar Lake-V CPU. The new elongated design saves a lot of space, but it comes with some consequences and missing features.

A problem for budget Windows laptops. Apple's new MacBook Neo is the first budget MacBook powered by the A18 Pro smartphone processor for $599. The result is a laptop that looks and feels like a MacBook, and is also surprisingly powerful for what it is. There is one big flaw though. Update: Additional battery tests

Blazing fast PCIe 5.0 SSDs & Wi-Fi 7. The MacBook Pro 16 with the M5 Pro gets a big bump both in terms of CPU as well as GPU performance. Apple also includes faster PCIe 5.0 SSDs as well as Wi-Fi 7, so the overall package is even better than before. Update: M5 Pro beats RTX 5090 in many creator benchmarks

Camera recommendation? The Huawei Mate X7 is just over 4 mm thin and aims to compete with the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Honor Magic V6, not only with its new HiSilicon Kirin 9030 Pro but also with its large Ultra Lighting HDR camera. Read Notebookcheck’s review to find out whether that is enough to offset the lack of the Google Play Store.. Update: Sample photos and gaming test added

Flagship nightmare. Ultra-wide mopping roller, quick-charging function and high suction power - the Ecovacs Deebot T90 Pro Omni has a lot to offer for a mid-range model. Our review clarifies exactly what this means and how well the robot vacuum cleans with its modern mopping technology.

Apple launched their new M5 Pro & M5 Max chips with different a different approach including tiles and new super cores. We test and analyze the new M5 Pro/Max CPUs, both in terms of performance as well as efficiency. Users of the new M5 Pro can be very happy, but the results of the new M5 Max is a bit sobering. Update: Cinebench 2026, memory performance

With a wide roller mop. Robot vacuum cleaners with a mopping roller are normally expensive. The new Mova S70 Roller wants to change that. For around 700 euros, it promises a powerful 28,000 Pa suction power and a wide mopping roller. Our detailed Mova S70 Roller test shows whether the mid-range robot is really convincing in everyday use.

In this test, we show how the system performs in benchmarks, games and under continuous load - and whether it is one of the most powerful mini PCs in its class.

Refined software in a unique form factor. The Everblog E1 and E2 are digital family calendars that offer solid productivity software, on top of somewhat outdated hardware. However, these tablets have more to offer than what initially meets the eye.

Light and shadow. While there are many gaming notebooks in the 15- to 17-inch range, the offerings in the massive 18-inch segment are rather limited. With the Nitro 18 AI, Acer is trying to take on the competition from Asus and MSI. How does the comparison turn out?

Conference owl. Hybrid meetings have become a normal part of office life—but traditional webcams quickly reach their limits.

In this review, we evaluate how well the 360-degree conferencing system performs in real-world meeting scenarios.

Apple launches their new M5 Pro and M5 Max SoCs with new GPU models. We test the 20-core M5 Pro GPU as well as the flagship 40-core M5 Max GPU in synthetic benchmarks as well as gaming tests and also check the efficiency compared to previous Apple GPUs as well as Nvidia's Blackwell graphics cards.

Big and small at the same time. The Bluetti Elite 300 is particularly light and compact for a 3 kWh power station. But can it also impress with its other features? Our Bluetti Elite 300 practical test provides the answer.

Dark OLED panel. With the Prestige 14 Flip AI+, MSI introduces a compact 14-inch convertible feturin a fast Panther Lake processor and integrated stylus. However, the built-in 60 Hz OLED screen is very dark and does not support HDR.

Finally Wi-Fi 7 and PCIe 4.0. The MacBook Air 15 is now available with the powerful M5 SoC and the combination of performance as well as efficiency is simply perfect for a fanless design. It is also pretty much unrivaled, because there are simply no alternatives without fans in this segment.

The Baseus Security X1 Pro is the company’s latest premium security camera that comes with AI dual tracking and no subscription costs. The X1 Pro makes it easy to monitor your property with two cameras mounted on motorized swivel mounts. We tested it to see how well it works.

The Air gets even better. The new MacBook Air 13 gets the blazing fast M5-SoC, twice the storage as well as Wi-Fi 7 for $1,099. We review the entry-level model with the 8-core GPU, 16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage, which is the best choice for most users. Update: Additional battery life test

A deliberate omission in mobile connectivity. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro does not support 5G, yet it is still a solid smartphone overall. Compared with its predecessor, it offers significantly longer battery life, a much brighter display, and now a minimum of 256 GB of storage. Even so, our review shows that the Xiaomi handset faces strong competition in the budget mid-range segment.

Affordable flagship styling. With a waterproof chassis, slim display bezels, and excellent photo quality, Vivo aims to win over price-conscious buyers with its new mid-range smartphone. Read our review to find out how the Zeiss cameras performed in testing and which feature makes the V70 leave the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ looking dated.

A better MacBook Pro? Samsung's new Galaxy Book6 Ultra is a powerful 16-inch multimedia laptop with an amazing OLED screen, Panther Lake processor and GeForce RTX 5070. There are also many similarities with the Apple MacBook Pro 16, but is it enough to beat Apple's machine?

LED there be light! The TITAN ARMY P275MV PLUS combines 4K resolution, a MiniLED backlight with 1,152 local dimming zones, and an unusual dual mode: 160 Hz at 4K or 320 Hz at Full HD. Priced at around 400 euros, the 27-inch display promises HDR1000 support, 95% DCI-P3 coverage, and high brightness. In this review, we take a closer look at image quality, build quality, and overall performance.

New SoC equals more power? Minisforum is updating the AI X1 Pro and is now giving the compact powerhouse the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470, bringing an even more powerful APU to the fore that promises additional reserves, especially for demanding workloads and AI applications. But can the new processor actually meet the high expectations in practice?

Streamlined and slowed down. The Motorola Moto G77 shows just how much mid-range smartphone you can get around the €280 mark. You get a thin Pantone chassis, bright AMOLED 120 Hz display, powerful speakers, and a long battery life. While these are good to have, our review shows where its flaws lie.

Premium exterior, almost always premium interior. The Motorola Signature is one of the slimmest and lightest smartphones currently available. In the test, Motorola's new top model also impressed with its bright AMOLED display and the outstanding Sony LYTIA camera system, which ranked in the top 10 in the DxO camera test. Read the test to find out who still shouldn't buy the Signature.

It doesn’t get much scarier than this. The year has barely begun, and Resident Evil Requiem is already here on PC - and it is a heavyweight release. In our benchmark test, we find out whether the tech is as impressive as the gameplay.

Versatile. The Doogee BoneAir Swim is an IP68-rated bone-conduction headset aimed at sports use, offering 64 GB of onboard storage for phone-free playback, among other benefits. It can sound very different depending on how you use it and seems like a practical but ultimately rather niche way to get your music fix on the go.

No Wear OS, no problem? This Doogee smartwatch is marketed as great for doing sports as well as exploring the outdoors. It comes with a wealth of features, including offline music playback and support for Bluetooth headphones, altitude and barometric pressure sensors, SpO₂ tracking, and more. The question is, are these features enough to let it compete with Xiaomi, Samsung and co?

Promising hardware but software needs tuning. The Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 Combo brings multi-color 3D printing for those looking to get into the hobby, but not invest a lot of money. It is a solid starting point and offers some features that are typically present in much more expensive 3D printers, though some software optimizations would help enhance the experience.

Low price, solid promise. The Redmi Note 15 5G introduces meaningful progress across display quality, battery endurance, and update support, while Xiaomi transitions the series from MediaTek to a Qualcomm processor. Whether such adjustments translate into a truly compelling package is the question at the heart of our review.

Significantly faster. Only a few smartphones can currently charge via Qi2.2. The Baseus PicoGo AM52 power bank is ready for the new standard, and when paired with a compatible device, it can deliver very good charging times. It also feels well built and lasts a long time. We used the battery pack to charge smartphones, tablets, and laptops during everyday use.

Wiping roller debut. The Qrevo Curv 2 Flow is the first Roborock robot vacuum with a mopping roller. Our Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow test reveals whether it can wipe the floor with the existing competition and what else it can do.

Terrible IPS display. By targeting the budget category, the Gram Book 15 loses all the selling points that make the Gram series so special in the first place. The few redeeming qualities aren't enough to make the system an easy recommendation.

Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with massive CPU performance. Asus launches a special GoPro version of its powerful ProArt PX13 convertible. In addition to some visual changes, the compact 13-inch model also gets the fastest AMD Strix Halo Ryzen AI Max+ 395 including the Radeon 8060s GPU and 128 GB RAM. The 2.8K OLED is still limited to 60 Hz, though.

Only 18.9 kg. Anker's new 2 kWh Solix C2000 Gen 2 power station is almost 40 percent lighter than its predecessor. Our Anker Solix C2000 Gen 2 review reveals whether this is at the expense of the features and performance of the solar generator.

A frontal attack. With the Erazer Deputy 15 P1, Medion aims to challenge the competition in the affordable gaming-laptop segment. In addition to a powerful Core 7 CPU, the 15-inch laptop comes equipped with a GeForce RTX 5060. Can this "German" laptop hold its own against international rivals?

Sharp, accurate, and svelte. The Huion Kamvas 16 Gen 3 is a 16-inch pen display that's equally at home at the studio or on the go, thanks to its slim, lightweight design that slips right into a backpack alongside an average 16-inch laptop. The 2.5K resolution, matte coating, and colour accuracy make for a competitive package for beginner artists, but those looking to game on the side should look elsewhere.

It's a gem. Huawei took more than two years to introduce a successor to its FreeClip headphones. They feature significantly improved sound quality and are also designed to appeal as a fashion accessory.
