75% Huge battery and sleek design: Is that still enough against Xiaomi and rivals? – Motorola Moto G57 Power review

Once exceptional, now the new normal? With a 7,000 mAh battery, the Motorola Moto G57 Power certainly comes well equipped for long runtimes. However, this is no longer a unique selling point, as many major manufacturers have stepped up battery capacity and endurance this year.

A gaming keyboard built for customisation — Lemokey P2 HE hands-on review

Keychron's best and brightest. The Lemokey P2 HE checks off everything that makes an excellent Hall effect gaming keyboard and then some. If you're looking for your first gaming keyboard and subscribe to the "buy once, cry once" philosophy, the Lemokey P2 HE should be at the top of your shopping list. As good as it is, the P2 HE still lacks one feature that would make it the best Hall effect gaming keyboard for enthusiasts.
