Apple MacBook Pro 15 (Late 2016, 2.6 GHz, 450) Notebook Review

88% Apple MacBook Pro 15 (Late 2016, 2.6 GHz, 450) Notebook Review

Better by a Touch? Apple slims down the MacBook Pro 15 quite radically and reduces the weight to around 1.8 kg with a thickness of just 16 millimeters. The professional notebook, which even gained customers from the 17-inch Pro in the past, is now even a real alternative for users of the previous MBP 13.

HTC Desire 10 Lifestyle Smartphone Review

79% HTC Desire 10 Lifestyle Smartphone Review

Provoking the mid-range. HTC has often tried to score with stylish looks, hi-res sound, and decent cameras. Thus, HTC's Desire 10 Lifestyle dual-SIM handset is an interesting offer in the mid-range. Can the 720p panel and relatively slow SoC stop this wave?
