Plastic with aluminum look. For around ~US$1300, Medion offers a gaming laptop with an i5-12500H, RTX 4050, Full HD display, and 16 GB RAM. That's a good price, even if it's not the cheapest for this hardware combination. We have tested whether the Crawler E40 is suitable as a budget gaming laptop.

Core i7 throttling could use some work. The C315 Blitz swaps out the older 11th gen Core i7 H-series processor for a newer 13th gen Core i7 P-series option. However, the change is more like a sideways step than a leap forward in terms of performance.

More space to work. The Lenovo ThinkBook 16 G6 is a 16-inch multimedia laptop with an IPS display and an AMD Ryzen 7000 processor. At a price of US$900, you will surely have to make quite a few compromises but even so, it boasts a good keyboard and long runtimes.

Extreme battery life. The basic version of the new MacBook Pro 16 is equipped with the full version of the Apple M3 Pro, although it doesn't offer much performance compared to the M2 Pro. On the other hand, the entry-level SSD has become faster again, and the maximum SDR brightness gets increased too. In addition, power efficiency improvements allow for an extremely long battery life.

Technically average. In association with EA, the British firm Codemasters, known for the F1, Dirt, and Grit series among others, has released a brand-new racing game. We reviewed the WRC hardware specifications in further detail.

Mobile powerhouse. Apple puts its new high-end chip M3 Max into the compact MacBook Pro 14 and the result is the fastest 14-inch laptop you can buy in terms of CPU performance. However, this is also a big challenge for the cooling and the performance is not completely stable.

A big 2-in-1. Externally unchanged, at least the new LG Gram 2-in-1 offers up-to-date hardware when it comes to the internals. In our review device, the Intel Core i7 shows that it's capable of high performance, even in a lightweight form factor. However, in 2023, LG still hasn't managed to eliminate the device's other weak points.
