Dell XPS 13 9360 QHD+ i7-7500U Notebook Review
Now in Rose Gold. The Kaby Lake update adds little to an already excellent XPS 13 experience. Users will only see marginal benefits in both performance and battery life when compared to the outgoing Skylake XPS 13.

HP 250 G5 Y1V08UT (Celeron N3060, HD) Notebook Review
Cheap and slow. The 6 W Celeron CPU makes for a subpar Windows 10 experience even when equipped with a primary SSD. Quiet operation and long battery life are the main benefits for such a low-power configuration.

Asus Zenbook UX510UW-CN044T Notebook Review
All-rounder with gaming qualities. With the Zenbook UX510UW, Asus has created a successful compromise of a good gaming laptop and all-rounder for everyday use. The slim laptop pleases with a good configuration and good rates. However, the laptop has its shortcomings.

MSI GT73VR 6RF Titan Notebook Review
A souped-up GT72. We checked out the GT73VR last month in its 1080p and GTX 1070 configuration and were blown away by its performance and workmanship. The pricier 4K UHD and 1080 SKU is even better, but it makes some sacrifices regarding contrast and colors.

Asus ZenBook UX360UA Convertible Review
Shaky candidate. The basically good and very long-running premium-range convertible stumbles - of all things - over its redesigned hinges. The manufacturer will have to rework this feature since a shaky display prevents using it in the Laptop Mode. That is all that has to be criticized since the new ZenBook has a lot to offer.

Fujitsu Celsius H760 Workstation Review
Great success. The Fujitsu Celsius H760 is a successful example of a classic workstation. Performance, flexibility, quality and ergonomics are the most important characteristics. Our in-depth review shows what else you can expect from the test model.

Face Off: MSI GS63VR vs. Aorus X5S v5 vs. Aorus X5 v6
Super-slim gaming. The GS63VR is one of the thinnest notebooks with GTX 1060 graphics, but how does it compare to the GTX 980M and GTX 1070 in the Aorus X5S v5 and X5 v6? Our measurements show the performance and power consumption gaps between these popular Maxwell and Pascal systems.

The desktop in your laptop: Intel Core i7 quad-core CPU, Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 GPU with 8 GB GDDR5 VRAM, 32 GB RAM, 2 TB PCIe SSD storage, 4K-display with G-Sync support as well as a mechanical keyboard.

MSI GT83VR 6RE Titan SLI Xotic PC Edition Notebook Review
Superlative. If the price is not important and you want the maximum amount of performance, the MSI GT83VR is currently the best solution for fans of desktop replacements. The 18-inch gaming laptop is equipped with two Pascal GPUs in an SLI system. The other components are also state of the art. Our review will show whether the cooling system can handle demanding 3D workloads.

HP ProBook 655 G2 T9X09ET Notebook Review
AMD @Business. Around 790 Euros (~$873) has to be put on the table for the ProBook 655 G2. For that, you get a business notebook which delights with good input devices, a robust casing and low operating noise. Unfortunately, it disappoints once again with the screen.

Acer TravelMate X3 X349-M-7261 Notebook Review
A rounded bundle. Acer's slim laptop pleases with an elegant aluminum casing. The configuration is also fitting: IPS panel, fast processor, SSD. The good battery life, backlit keyboard, and a three-year warranty supplement this.

Acer Graphics Dock with Nvidia GTX 960M Review
Surprise! A graphics card in an external case - familiar. In the past, this technology has not worked as intended. In this review, we put all that aside and take a look at what the GPU is capable of. Update 10-15-2016: Aspire Switch 12S does not turn into a gamer.

Mafia 3 Notebook and Desktop Benchmarks
Interesting scenario with technical issues. One thing right away: You will be disappointed if you expect triple-A graphics from “Mafia 3”.

MSI GS63VR 6RF Stealth Pro Notebook Review
Slim and fast. Thanks to the new Pascal GPU, MSI now packs high-end performance into a slim laptop. The temperature development is okay and other areas of the GS63VR Stealth Pro are convincing as well, but MSI should have another look at the fans.

Face Off: Asus X302UV vs. HP Envy 13 vs. Lenovo IdeaPad 710S
Mainstream 13-inch workbook. You don't have to spend over $1000 USD for a portable 13-inch notebook. These options may not look as pretty as the XPS 13 or Spectre series, but they have just enough features to get the job done.
Lenovo ThinkPad P70-20ER000XUS Workstation Review
Pricey yet powerful. Lenovo’s latest P70 configuration features an Intel Xeon Skylake CPU and bumps the GPU to an NVIDIA M4000M, while also introducing NVMe SSD storage. How do these upgrades affect overall performance? And is this still a workstation worth considering today?
Intel Xeon E3-1505M v5 | NVIDIA Quadro M4000M | 17.30" | 3.7 kg
Intel Xeon E3-1505M v5 | NVIDIA Quadro M4000M | 17.30" | 3.7 kg
Aorus X5 v6 Notebook Review
No performance compromises. The unique Aorus X5 is back with Pascal, individually lit RGB keys, and 120 Hz/5 ms FHD display options all in a chassis just under 23 mm thick. Owners will get the same gaming performance as a desktop with GTX 1070 graphics, albeit in a much louder package.

Acer TravelMate B117-M-P16Q Netbook Review
Inexhaustible. The TravelMate B117-M offers silent operation, very long battery runtimes, and a three-year warranty. At a price of 550 Euros (~$616), it is not one of the cheapest models. The installed SSD and Windows 7 and Windows 10 Pro version are reflected in the price.

Microsoft has announced a Windows-centric event for October 26th. According to rumors Microsoft plans to unveil a Surface branded All-in-One PC, which was speculated about a lot the past months.
Lenovo IdeaPad 510-15ISK Notebook Review
A vision in white. Although the tester wouldn't want to marry the light and compact, 15-inch multimedia device by Lenovo, he doesn't have anything against a business relationship. The newcomer with a dedicated GeForce 940MX did not really show any major shortcomings in the test. The most striking feature, however, remains to be the unusual color that will certainly also appeal to female users.

Dell XPS 13 9360 QHD+ i5-7200U Notebook Review
Small update, no effect?! Dell secretly updated its top seller: The XPS 13 is one of the first models that gets the latest Kaby Lake processors from Intel. The chassis does not appear to be changed, and the display is similar as well. We once again do a live review and will update the article continuously.

Cube i7 Book CDK09 Convertible Review
Skylake convertible. The Cube i7 offers a fast Core m3-6Y30 SoC, 64 GB SSD, and a 10.6-inch IPS touchscreen for little money. Logically, cutbacks had to be made in many places. We will reveal where concessions have to be accepted in this test of the tablet including a keyboard dock.

Acer Extensa 2520-59CD Notebook Review
Pulled parking brake. Apart from its quiet operating noise, Acer's 15.6-inch device does not attract any attention. Unfortunately, the installed Core i5 processor cannot develop its full computing power.

Windows Hello might hit Android
Windows fans also using Android devices might soon be able to use the fingerprint and face recognition authentication technologies currently available on Windows 10.
HP ProBook 650 G2 Notebook (Full HD) Review
Disappointing screen. HP's mid-range business laptop pleases with decent input devices, solid casing, good battery life, and low system noise - unlike the Full HD panel that is a disappointment. We expect considerably more from a 1050 Euro (~$1179) laptop.
Intel Core i5-6200U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 15.60" | 2.3 kg

Eurocom Sky X7E2 (Clevo P775DM3) Notebook Review
Too hot to handle. We revisit the Clevo P775DM1 as the Eurocom Sky X7E2 with an unlocked LGA 1151 CPU and the fastest Pascal GPU to date. Core temperatures and fan noise are both quite high as expected when such high TDP components are involved.

HP 15z-ba000 Notebook Review
Tangled up in blue. The HP Notebook 15z is a run-of-the-mill, 15.6-inch notebook designed to fulfill basic needs. While it fails to stand out from the crowd, it offers "just enough" performance for everyday tasks and has no real significant shortcomings aside from a fairly high price.

Comparison Review: B&O Play A2, Bose SoundLink III and Teufel Boomster
An earful. The speakers most manufacturers integrate into their smartphones, tablets and even notebooks often leave something to be desired. One option is to hook up external speakers which can easily be connected via Bluetooth technology. We check three different speaker systems and evaluate their sound quality.

Face Off: Lenovo ThinkPad T460s vs. ThinkPad X1 Yoga vs. ThinkPad Yoga 460
14-inch ThinkPad. The traditional PC is becoming obsolete according to Lenovo. Are these 14-inch convertible ThinkPad alternatives really any better than the classic and long-established T series?
Aorus X7 v6 gaming notebook to ship with a QHD 120 Hz display

Acer Aspire E5-575G (i5-7200U, GTX 950M) Notebook Review
Lots of hardware for little money. Thanks to a GeForce GTX 950M and a cutting-edge Kaby Lake processor, Acer's Aspire E5-575G should render even sophisticated games smoothly - and this at a competitive price of just 600 Euros ($673). What is the catch?

HP Pavilion 15-aw004ng Notebook Review
Good Package. The Hewlett Packard Pavilion 15-aw004ng is an interesting notebook. The 15.6 inch allrounder packs a matte FHD screen, a SSD and an AMD dual graphics setup. The price for all these goodies: 550 Euros. A price like that for a packet like this can convince most buyers to look the other way when faced with certain flaws, such as, below-average battery life and a one year warranty.
