Pocket cinema. Sony is trying to break new ground in the smartphone market with new Xperia devices. The Xperia 10 is the company’s latest attempt to crack the midrange sector, and it has equipped the smartphone with a Snapdragon 630 SoC and a 6-inch display with a 21:9 aspect ratio. The latter allows the device to keep its footprint to a minimum and still have a large display. Read on in this detailed review to see how the Xperia 10 performs in our tests and how it shapes up against its midrange competitors.

Screen sin An affordable office laptop that packs the latest Intel Whiskey Lake CPU, 8 GB of RAM along with a large NVMe SSD? That would sound like a bargain if it were not for a big caveat that might be a deal breaker for many potential buyers.

Sony's next move. With its current smartphone designs, this manufacturer from the far east has finally managed to take into account what customers actually want, without having to abandon their own individuality. Read on for our review to find out how the Xperia 10 Plus, with its 21:9 ratio display, fares when compared to the competition.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 | Qualcomm Adreno 509 | 6.5" | 180 g

Alienware 17 lite. 23 percent thinner, 37 percent smaller, and 40 percent lighter. The Alienware m17 addresses all the size and weight complaints of the original Alienware 17 series albeit at the cost of some auxiliary features like the backlit trackpad, per-key RGB lighting, additional ports.

Reheated fare. This year, Apple has revived a product label that was already thought dead and has fit some new hardware into an old case. The newly created tablet positions itself between the entry-level iPad and the Pro models and faces the high-end competition from Android in terms of its price. Our test will show whether this is a recipe for success.

A lot of battery for little money. The M series from Samsung shall bring premium features to the middle class at an entry-level price - originally only in India, but now also officially here. In the review of the Samsung Galaxy M20 we checked how the model with the huge battery performs.
Samsung Exynos 7885 | ARM Mali-G71 MP2 | 6.3" | 186 g

Mid-ranger with high aspirations The Asus ZenFone Max Pro (M2) has been on the Indian market for some time, with ASUS bringing the model to wider markets post Mobile World Congress 2019. The focus of the ZenFone Max Pro (M2) is its large 5,000 mAh battery, its improved design and its more powerful hardware, which all suggest to us that Asus has made good on the criticism about the device’s predecessors. Read on to find out whether Asus has done enough to make the ZenFone Max Pro (M2) stand out from other midrange devices in what is already a highly competitive market.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 | Qualcomm Adreno 512 | 6.26" | 175 g

Go Pro. The Cubot J3 Pro is another entry-level smartphone by the Chinese manufacturer. Can the “Pro” model succeed where its smaller sibling fell short? Read on to find out what the added Pro moniker brings and whether the J3 Pro can better challenge its budget competitors than the J3 could.

An entry-level Sony. The Xperia L3 carries over some of the characteristics of its predecessors while also coming into its own with its more modern design. For about 200 Euros (~$225), buyers of the slim smartphone in the 2:1 format also receive a dual-camera system as well as the option to use a microSD and two SIM cards simultaneously. We evaluate in our test what else the Sony Xperia L3 can offer.
Mediatek Helio P22 MT6762 | PowerVR GE8320 | 5.7" | 156 g

Pricey, but fast! Both the GeForce RTX 2080 and the GeForce RTX 2070 have the same amount of VRAM. However, the RTX 2080 offers somewhat more performance than the RTX 2070. We have run a bevy of benchmarks using the Turing-based GPU from MSI to assess its performance. Continue reading our review to find out whether or not the MSI RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio is worth buying.
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (Desktop) | 32"

Big, good and affordable. The Y7 2019 retails for only 199 Euros (~US$224), but Huawei has still managed to cram in a 6.26-inch display, dual rear-facing cameras and a 4,000-mAh battery among its other impressive features. Read on to find out whether the device’s impressive specs on paper can combine to create a strong entry-level smartphone and how it fares against its competitors.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 | Qualcomm Adreno 506 | 6.26" | 168 g

A low-cost office laptop. Lenovo's 15.6-inch laptop has a Stoney Ridge APU, an SSD and 8 GB of RAM on board. About 430 Euros (~$485) has to be spent on the computer. The screen and the battery life are the biggest weaknesses of the laptop.

Close to perfection - Last year, the Huawei P20 Pro set new standards in mobile photography, and now the Chinese company is back with its successor in the hope of building on those successes. The P30 Pro also includes all the technology that we have come to expect from a flagship with a premium price tag. Read on to find out whether Huawei has developed a new camera wonder and how it fares against other current flagships.
Update: Review completed.

One-handed go. The Cubot J3 is a tiny smartphone by modern standards and can easily be used with one hand. However, this is where things start to fall down, as we shall explain in this review. Read on to find out how this small budget smartphone fares against its competitors and whether it has more to offer than just its diminutive stature.
Mediatek MT6580M | ARM Mali-400 MP2 | 5" | 148 g

It's complicated. Dell competes in the business laptop market with AMD CPUs with a rather small lineup. Will the single Dell Latitude model with Ryzen, the Dell Latitude 14 5495, be able to compete with well-known competitors like the Lenovo ThinkPad A485 and the HP EliteBook 745 G5? In some ways it can compete, but our review also uncovered some weaknesses.
AMD Ryzen 7 2700U | AMD Radeon RX Vega 10 | 14" | 1.7 kg

Outmanoeuvred. ASUS has packed powerful hardware into a sleek and compact case, which is impressive on the face of it. Unfortunately, this feat cannot be done without compromising somewhere, which we tackle in this review. The UX433FN shares many of its features with its siblings that we have already reviewed like its IPS screen, NVMe SSD, dual-channel RAM and backlit keyboard. Sadly, ASUS equips this model with a reflective display too.
Intel Core i7-8565U | NVIDIA GeForce MX150 | 14" | 1.2 kg

Good display, but far too slow. The 11.6-inch Ematic offers a lot on paper, but it doesn't have the speed to keep up with even the most simplest of tasks like browsing, 1080p streaming, or even word processing. You're better off investing that $200 elsewhere.
Intel Atom x5-Z8350 | Intel HD Graphics (Cherry Trail) | 11.6" | 1 kg

Held back on purpose? In addition to the A series, Lenovo is also offering its more affordable E series with AMD processors. We tested how the ThinkPad fares against the Intel competition and also evaluated whether a configuration with dual-channel RAM brings any advantages. Update: Added further measurements for the alternative Innolux display.
AMD Ryzen 5 2500U | AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 | 14" | 1.8 kg

Unremarkable. The VivoBook Flip 14 comes with a Core i3 processor, dual-channel-enabled RAM and an SSD. The IPS touchscreen can be used not only with the fingers but also with the Asus Pen, which is sold separately.
Intel Core i3-8130U | Intel UHD Graphics 620 | 14" | 1.5 kg

A grand for a gram. The Gram 14 is a few hundred grams lighter than the XPS 13 while having a larger 14-inch display. In fact, it's one of the lightest Ultrabooks in its size class with an Intel Core U-series CPU. So, what's the catch?
Intel Core i5-8250U | Intel UHD Graphics 620 | 14" | 994 g

Dwarf galaxy - Samsung has priced the smaller version of the top-tier S10 models more attractively than the S10+. In addition to its smaller display comes a lower capacity battery, a single front-facing camera along with less internal storage. Likewise, there is no option for a ceramic back as there is with the S10+. Read on to find out how the Galaxy S10 compares against its Plus namesake and how it stands up against other modern flagships.
Update: Additional battery life tests added.

The return of the king of the apes. Catchy name, outdoor smartphone, second generation: The successor to the Cubot King Kong promises to be a budget yet high-quality-looking rugged smartphone. We're excited, are you? Then read on quickly.
Mediatek Helio P23 MT6763T | ARM Mali-G71 MP2 | 5.5" | 280 g

Cheap and cheerful. The smallest new flagship from Samsung should appeal to people for whom spending almost €1,000 (~$1,125) on a smartphone is abhorrent. The S10e has many of the features that its more expensive siblings do, but Samsung has made some compromises to keep the costs down. Read on to find out how the S10e performs in our tests and whether it offers better value for money than the Galaxy S10 or S10+.
Samsung Exynos 9820 | ARM Mali-G76 MP12 | 5.8" | 150 g

Imbalanced. As a somewhat smaller player, Fujitsu is facing an uphill battle in the mobile workstation market. Can Fujitsu establish its Celsius H780 as a credible competitor against the likes of Dell, HP and Lenovo? That may be difficult, since the Fujitsu Celsius H780 revealed plenty of weaknesses in our comprehensive review.
Intel Core i7-8850H | NVIDIA Quadro P2000 | 15.6" | 2.8 kg

For those with cash to burn. HP has equipped its new 14-inch Chromebook convertible with a powerful Intel Core i5-8350U processor, an IPS touchscreen display and a sizable battery that delivers great battery life. However, HP demands a hefty price for the device at nearly €1,000 (~$1,120) despite it having jarring shortcomings. Read on to find out how the Chromebook x360 14 G1 performs in our tests and how it fares against its competitors.
Intel Core i5-8350U | Intel UHD Graphics 620 | 14" | 1.6 kg

Four cores without a fan. Asus packs the energy-saving Intel Pentium Silver N500 quad-core processor into a small 11.6-inch laptop. In addition, there are four GB of RAM and a usable battery, which make the device a small and affordable companion for everyday life. In our review we clarify what users may expect from the small laptop with a price tag of less than 350 Euros (~$392).
Intel Pentium Silver N5000 | Intel UHD Graphics 605 | 11.6" | 980 g

Browsing at 5 frames per second. It's got the features of a regular Android tablet, but it doesn't have the speed for a smooth experience. The EeWrite E-Pad is best as an e-reader with only the occasional light web browsing.
Mediatek Helio X20 MT6797 | 10.3" | 392 g

Second wind. The thinnest 15.6-inch laptop with RTX 2080 Max-Q graphics is a visual delight. For $2500, however, the Asus Zephyrus S GX531 could have at least included per-key RGB lighting and Thunderbolt 3.
Intel Core i7-8750H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q | 15.6" | 2.1 kg

Extreme durability. The Latitude 7424 Rugged Extreme is an absolute tank. The Latitude 7424 wraps a competent computer in a dust-tight and water-resistant shell that can take a beating without much fuss. However, this durability comes at a high cost - weight and size.
Intel Core i7-8650U | AMD Radeon RX 540 | 14" | 3.5 kg

Quiet, fast and colourful! The GeForce RTX 2070 offers more power than the base model RTX 2060. With 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM, the GeForce RTX 2070 is equipped with just as much VRAM as the higher model RTX 2080. MSI has furnished us with a test sample which has a significantly higher TDP rating than the Nvidia reference model - read on for our review with numerous benchmarks to find out where the MSI RTX 2070 Gaming Z 8G sits in the rankings, and how well it performs in games.
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 (Desktop) | 32"

An affordable flagship. Xiaomi has made the impossible possible with the Mi 9, at least according to the standards set by other manufacturers anyway. The Mi 9 only costs 450 Euros (~$505), which is midrange pricing, but it is one of the best flagship smartphones that you could currently buy. Its 48 MP triple camera, UFS 2.1 flash storage, premium design and AMOLED display are just a few of the reasons that the device excels, as is its brand-new Snapdragon 855 SoC. We put the Mi 9 to the test in our detailed review and see how it stacks up against other flagship smartphones.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 | Qualcomm Adreno 640 | 6.39" | 173 g

The entry point to the RTX world! The Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 is a budget RTX GPU that includes such features as Ray tracing and DLSS. We received a sample GPU from our partner MSI. This graphics card uses MSI’s proprietary board design. We put the MSI RTX GPU through its paces by running numerous benchmarks and video games with it. You can learn how well it did by reading our review.

Is the front-facing camera a thing of the past? The highlight of the Vivo NEX Dual is its two displays. In addition to the traditional screen on the front, the NEX Dual has another AMOLED panel on the back. The latter means that you can take selfies with what would typically be rear-facing cameras without the need for dedicated front-facing sensors or an intrusive notch. Read on to find out how well this concept works and how the NEX Dual compares against other flagship smartphones.

You snooze, you lose. Smartwatches are experiencing an upsurge these days. This is primarily thanks to the increasing crowd of low-priced alternatives to Apple Watch. Already in the price range of around 100 Euros (~$112) one can find devices offering plenty of features for the money. The Amazfit Verge is such a candidate and we had a closer look at it.

Good-looking. The brand-new GS75 not only belongs to the flattest gaming laptops on the market but also to the best-looking ones. In our detailed review, you'll find out if the 17-incher can also shine under the hood.
Intel Core i7-8750H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q | 17.3" | 2.3 kg

Compact gamer. Thanks to its Core i7-8750H CPU and its GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q GPU all games should run smoothly on the Neo's matte 15.6-inch display. Other highlights include a mechanical keyboard, a fast SSD, and a 144 Hz panel. In return, the notebook lacks modern connectivity features such as Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3.1 Gen 2.
Intel Core i7-8750H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q | 15.6" | 2 kg

Full GPU power? MSI also offers its slim GE75 Raider with the high-end GeForce RTX 2080 and does not use the Max-Q version. We check the performance and see if the upgrade is worth the money.
Intel Core i7-8750H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (Laptop) | 17.3" | 2.6 kg

A bright display, but not a dazzler of a device. For years, LG has been releasing its flagship smartphones under its G-series branding. The South Korean company is now filling out the series with midrange devices like the G7 Fit, which is the focus of our review. The device is not aimed at fitness fanatics either but rather at buyers who want a stylish smartphone with some of the features from flagship devices without having to spend so much money. Read on to find out how well this approach works and how the G7 Fit fares against its competitors.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 MSM8996 Pro | Qualcomm Adreno 530 | 6.1" | 156 g

Aura buff. 11 percent smaller, 11 percent lighter, and at least 17 percent faster graphics performance. The Aorus 15 is the long-awaited update to the aging Aorus X5 series albeit with a few auxiliary features missing.
Intel Core i7-8750H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 (Laptop) | 15.6" | 2.4 kg

Recommended. If you are looking for a simple and relatively compact gaming notebook, then the Schenker XMG Neo 17 may be the laptop for you. The 17.3-inch laptop scores highly for its powerful hardware, its 144 Hz panel and its optomechanical keyboard. However, can the Neo 17 compete with other large gaming laptops on more than just specifications?
Intel Core i7-8750H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 (Laptop) | 17.3" | 2.5 kg

Well endowed. The well-equipped Aero 15-Y9 allows (almost) all games to be played smoothly on its matte 4K screen. However, Gigabyte has chosen to equip the laptop with only the Max-Q variant of the GeForce 2080. As a result, it isn't able to offer much more gaming performance above the Aero-15 models with RTX 2070 Max-Q GPUs.
Intel Core i9-8950HK | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q | 15.6" | 2.1 kg

Same procedure as last year. Something that worked in 2018 does not have to be wrong in 2019 – this is something that Lenovo might have thought when planning the announcement of the ThinkPad E590. The new Lenovo ThinkPad is pretty much the same machine as the older E580 with a new CPU. Is the ThinkPad E590 still a sensible choice for an office laptop?
Intel Core i7-8565U | Intel UHD Graphics 620 | 15.6" | 1.9 kg

Dell's Clevo Killer. The latest 17.3-inch Alienware is going all-in with hardware and features not found on almost any other gaming laptop. Not only does the Area-51m leapfrog over the 45 W Core H-series for full-fat 95 W Core K-series CPUs, but it also sports removable graphics and Tobii eye-tracking all in a narrow-bezel chassis. Is this $3000+ portable powerhouse really comparable to a desktop PC of similar specifications?
Intel Core i9-9900K | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (Laptop) | 17.3" | 3.9 kg

Tough but thin. Rugged Notebooks aren't known for their svelte profiles, but the Dell Latitude 5420 Rugged tries to trim things down while maintaining the durability of the Latitude Rugged line. While there are some sacrifices compared to other rugged laptops, the Latitude 5420 Rugged is an overall convincing machine.
Intel Core i7-8650U | AMD Radeon RX 540 | 14" | 2.8 kg

Business all-rounder? We have covered several HP ProBook 400 series laptops recently, including the 440 G6 and 430 G6. Now it is the turn of the ProBook 450 G6, the 15-inch version of HP's entry-level business-laptop range. The company has equipped our test device with an Intel Core i7 processor and an Nvidia GeForce MX130 GPU that promises to be a good all-round package, at least on paper. Read on to find out whether the ProBook 450 G6 improves upon its predecessor and if it can challenge other established 15.6-inch business laptops.
Intel Core i7-8565U | NVIDIA GeForce MX130 | 15.6" | 2 kg

Deplorable display. The IdeaPad 330 17 doesn't break any ground, but we find it to be a little overpriced for the specifications. The GeForce MX150 GPU doesn't make up for the very slow 1 TB HDD or poorly calibrated 900p TN display to justify the $900 USD asking price.
Intel Core i7-8550U | NVIDIA GeForce MX150 | 17.3" | 2.8 kg

Onwards and upwards. So far, The Division 2 has enjoyed a significantly better reception from the press and gamer community than its predecessor from 2016. Read on in our benchmark check to see how it fares it terms of hunger for system requirements.

Leftovers. Lenovo has introduced the IdeaPad 330-15IKB, a 15.6-inch office laptop that it equips with a dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, a nimble SSD and 8 GB of DDR4 RAM running in dual-channel mode. The device is not free from weaknesses though, particularly its disappointing TN display, its comparatively small battery along with its outdated CPU and GPU. Read on to find out how the IdeaPad 330-15IKB compares against other 15.6-inch business laptops.
Intel Core i5-7200U | AMD Radeon 530 | 15.6" | 2.2 kg

Quieter, Sleeker… Better? Lenovo is back in the 15” gaming laptop fray with their Legion Y740—nearly identical to the previous Y730, but now packing an i7-8750H and an RTX 2070 Max-Q GPU alongside other improvements. At a price point of just around $1990 USD, its performance might surprise you.
Intel Core i7-8750H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q | 15.6" | 2.3 kg

Ray-tracing for your Ultrabook. Gigabyte has outfitted its super-small external graphics dock with a mini GeForce RTX 2070 graphics card compatible with most Ultrabooks. Naturally, we run every benchmark we could to see how the Aorus eGPU solution compares against a traditional gaming laptop. The results are more variable than we had initially anticipated.

Quo Vadis. The Chinese smartphone Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 is now - due to new marketing strategies of Xiaomi - just called Redmi Note 7. It is hard to categorize, given that it has the highest camera resolution currently available on a smartphone and a relatively weak Snapdragon 660. We tested the fist official smartphone of the sub-brand Redmi in order to uncover its true potential.

Mediatek MT6737T | ARM Mali-T720 MP2 | 5" | 220 g

Is it a binGo? Xiaomi's first smartphone with Android Go is here, the Redmi Go. The expectations towards the 80-Euro (~$91) smartphone are high, since the company has so far succeeded in offering great performance for a good price over and over again. Does this also work in the absolutely cheapest price segment?

Through the roof. In a very short time the free-to-play game Apex Legends has attracted millions of players - a good reason for us to have a look at the first-person shooter and put its system requirements under the magnifying glass.

Mimimi? Xiaomi's 2018 Mi 8 flagship smartphone is far from outdated., and it still has a lot to offer at a very low price. Time to find out how well it compares to current premium smartphones.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 | Qualcomm Adreno 630 | 6.21" | 175 g

Six cores with stamina. The new HP Spectre x360 is an all-rounder that gets most things right. The convertible scores highly for its powerful hardware, backlit keyboard, two Thunderbolt 3 ports, good battery life and its 2 TB SSD. The touchscreen supports the HP Tilt Pen too, which adds more functionality than many 15-inch convertibles have.
Intel Core i7-8750H | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q | 15.6" | 2.2 kg

Both visual and technical improvements. HP has presented its 14-inch office notebook with a new case and the most up-to-date Intel processor available. Some of its predecessor's weaknesses have clearly been corrected, but does this mean that the current ProBook 440 G6 is better than the last?
Intel Core i7-8565U | Intel UHD Graphics 620 | 14" | 1.6 kg

Gaming desktop in disguise. The 17.3-inch Sky X7C trades performance-per-Watt for full-on raw performance. While the Core i9-9900K is significantly faster than any 45 W Intel H-class equivalent, the performance delta between RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Max-Q is comparatively small.
Intel Core i9-9900K | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (Laptop) | 17.3" | 4.3 kg

An emotional rollercoaster. While Anthem has been criticised for its content and story, the first-person shooter has triumphant graphics. Read on to find out the system requirements for BioWare’s latest shooter along with how it performs on various laptop and desktop GPUs.

Small and portable. The Lenovo IdeaPad S530 shows once again how compact and mobile a notebook can be. Because of this, users will have to deal with a limited selection of ports. However, those who are not bothered by the lack of ports will be well served by the S530. Read our review to learn what else buyers can expect from the small 13-inch laptop.

Sand in the gears. Nearly four years after Dirt Rally and two years after Dirt 4, Codemasters has released Dirt Rally 2.0 to the delight of racing fans, or at least those who are uninterested by Formula 1. Read on to find out how well Codemasters’ latest rally game runs on various laptop and desktop GPUs.

Finally, a decent AMD gaming laptop. Sick of seeing Intel Core i5-8300H and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 gaming laptops? Then try this $700 AMD-only alternative instead. The Ryzen Zen+ platform shines in its first outing even though it's a bit late to the party.
AMD Ryzen 5 3550H | AMD Radeon RX 560X (Laptop) | 15.6" | 2.2 kg

Lady in Red. Schenker continues with the tried and tested concept of configurable barebones and adds some color into play this time. Staying away from the ever so gray cases, the Slim 15 RED Edition with a Whiskey Lake CPU, Samsung SSD and 16 GB of RAM is also promising. In our review, we'll clarify what users can expect as well as which configuration options are available.
Intel Core i5-8265U | Intel UHD Graphics 620 | 15.6" | 1.5 kg

Keep your charger close by. Dell's latest 13-inch laptop looks sleek with its slim case, while the upgrade to Whiskey-Lake processors should deliver improved performance and low power consumption compared to its Kaby Lake R powered predecessor. The 7380 has an NVMe SSD too, along with dual-channel RAM, an IPS 1080p screen. However, Dell continues to equip its Inspiron 13 7000 series with small batteries. Read on to find out how the Inspiron 13 7380 performs in our tests and how it stands up to its competitors.

No half-measures. That was probably the motto at Schenker when the company equipped the over 4,000 Euros (~$4,485) XMG Ultra 17 with an Nvidia RTX 2080 GPU, an Intel Core i9-9900K processor and 64 GB of RAM. Read on to find out whether this 4K beast can live up to expectations and how the Clevo case handles such a powerful GPU.
Intel Core i9-9900K | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (Laptop) | 17.3" | 4.3 kg

Longer, stronger, superior. Much like how the Asus ROG GL704 is a major update over the GL703, the MSI GE75 is a major update over the GE73. This $2200 mid-range gaming laptop skips the Max-Q series entirely for full-power GeForce RTX graphics up to the RTX 2080.

Intel Core i5-8250U | Intel UHD Graphics 620 | 13" | 1.3 kg

Plus notch. The Wiko View 2 Plus picks up on many of last year’s smartphone trends and combines them in an affordable package. The View 2 Plus integrates a dual rear-facing camera system and a large battery among other things, but its imposing notch may put off some potential buyers.

Mediatek Helio P23 MT6763T | ARM Mali-G71 MP2 | 5.7" | 374 g

Samsung AMOLED for cheap. How much tablet can $270 buy you? The Alldocube integrates a fair number of high-end features not normally found on budget models like a fingerprint reader, very thin chassis, and 2560 x 1600 resolution AMOLED touchscreen. This is one of the better tablets available in its price range so long as users can look past the short battery life and inaccurate colors.

AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U | AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 | 12.5" | 1.1 kg

Robust. The Oukitel WP1 is a mid-range smartphone designed for the great outdoors. The Oukitel smartphone surprises with its 150-Euro ($171) price tag, given the kind of hardware it brings to the table. The Oukitel WP1 is also water-proof and very robust.
Mediatek Helio P23 MT6763V | ARM Mali-G71 MP2 | 5.45" | 256 g

Bad development. HP refreshes the Pavilion x360 convertible with an Intel Core i3 CPU for 700 Euros (~$797). The manufacturer wants to stir up the convertible market with this strategy. We see some potential, but there are some major drawbacks.
Intel Core i3-8130U | Intel UHD Graphics 620 | 14" | 1.6 kg

Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 | Qualcomm Adreno 630 | 6.41" | 185 g

Flagship features, mainstream price. The Legion Y730 is the higher-end alternative to the Legion Y530 and legion Y7000 with flagship-like features including per-key RGB lighting, Thunderbolt 3, and dedicated Macro keys. It's just too bad that current SKUs are limited to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti.
Intel Core i5-8300H | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (Laptop) | 15.6" | 2.2 kg

Unusual. Asus wraps the technology of the Zephyrus S in a thin and compact case. The hardware is able to render every current game smoothly on the matte 144-Hz IPS display. The possibilities to upgrade the device are very limited.
Intel Core i7-8750H | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (Laptop) | 15.6" | 2.1 kg

Great display, relatively weak connectivity. The new Surface Laptop 2 from Microsoft is a slightly reworked version of the old model with an up-to-date processor.

Intel Core i7-8750H | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (Laptop) | 15.6" | 2.5 kg

The better Surface? With the Portege X30T, Toshiba delivers a convertible whose exterior is hardly distinguishable from that of its big Microsoft competitor. At a similarly high price but with many included accessories, we might have a strong-performing alternative here. However, many aspects remain hidden in the detail, and we will reveal them in our review.
Intel Core i7-8550U | Intel UHD Graphics 620 | 13.3" | 1.4 kg

RAM stinginess. Acer's 14-inch notebook features an elegant and small case, a Whiskey Lake Core i3 CPU, and decent battery life. While its SSD, its matte IPS display, and its keyboard backlight are state-of-the-art in 2018, the RAM is not: Acer only includes 4 GB.
Intel Core i3-8145U | Intel UHD Graphics 620 | 14" | 1.5 kg

Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 | Qualcomm Adreno 630 | 6.21" | 179 g

HiValue. The Chuwi HiPad retails for around $200 USD with compelling specifications such as its 1200p touchscreen, deca-core Helio X27 SoC, 3 GB RAM, and Android 8.0 software. Actual performance, however, is still reflective of the super-budget category.
MediaTek Helio X27 MT6797X | ARM Mali-T880 MP4 | 10.1" | 490 g

Light into the dark! All smartphone manufacturers want you to believe that their smartphone has the best camera.

We will also consider more left-field candidates that have good camera specifications on paper. Read on to find out which 2018 flagship has the best camera for low-light photography.

Well-rounded. Lenovo has equipped its V130-14IGM with an Intel Pentium Silver N5000 quad-core processor, which is on par with a Broadwell Core i3. Add to that a fast SSD and good battery life, and the sub-250 Euro (~$285) 14-inch laptop looks like an enticing package. The device has its drawbacks though, particularly as it has an unconvincing display and does not come with an OS installed.
Intel Pentium Silver N5000 | Intel UHD Graphics 605 | 14" | 1.6 kg

Larger E. The Motorola Moto E5 offers a large screen and large battery at a small price. However, for about 130 Euros (~$149; usually $100 in the US, currently on sale for $70) you can also get some good deals from other manufacturers. We find out in our test whether the Moto E5 is able to stand out.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 (MSM8917) | Qualcomm Adreno 308 | 5.7" | 174 g

Simple office laptop. Acer's new budget 17.3-inch laptop features an Apollo Lake processor, plenty of storage and a decent keyboard. In short, the Aspire ES 17 ES1-732 is a simple office laptop that is suited for home use.
Intel Pentium N4200 | Intel HD Graphics 505 | 17.3" | 2.8 kg

Smaller footprint than the XPS 13. The "ErgoLift" design is a visual delight as it allows for a strong lid with narrow bezels on all four sides of the screen. Nevertheless, some cut corners prevent the system from being a must-have against its competitors.
Intel Core i5-8265U | Intel UHD Graphics 620 | 13.3" | 1.2 kg

Dream Chromebook? The Lenovo Chromebook C330 is one of the most balanced Chromebooks to cross our review desk. While there are some weak points (notably the keyboard and port selection), these are minor flaws in an otherwise excellent package.
Mediatek MT8173C | PowerVR GX6250 | 11.6" | 1.2 kg

Bigger. Smarter. Sharper. The new smartphone from Huawei, the P Smart 2019, can be described with these three words.

However, in the course of our review, we observed several drawbacks that we also saw in our review of the predecessor.
HiSilicon Kirin 710 | ARM Mali-G51 MP4 | 6.2" | 160 g

The Magic Phone. Unfortunately, Honor does not officially sell or distribute the Honor 2 in Europe. Officially, Honor claims that the intelligence built into the Magic 2 was designed to make life easier for the Chinese, and it would not work at all in countries outside of China. However, there is something cooking, and Huawei's subsidiary is working on bringing the Magic 2 to other countries as well. We have decided to take a quick look at Honor's high-end smartphone.
HiSilicon Kirin 980 | ARM Mali-G76 MP10 | 6.39" | 209 g

Better display and slow processor. Apple pretty much ignored its MacBook Air for a couple of years and there was much speculation about the end of the series. Now, we get a completely redesigned model including a modern display. Is it an alternative to the more-expensive MacBook Pro 13 for many users, or is it somewhat redundant?
Intel Core i5-8210Y | Intel UHD Graphics 617 | 13.3" | 1.2 kg

Intel Core i7-8565U | Intel UHD Graphics 620 | 13.3" | 1.1 kg

3-in-1 convertible. The new Yoga Book has an E-Ink display instead of a keyboard and can be considered a combination of a laptop, a tablet and an e-reader. On top of that, you can also digitalize text and drawings with this all-rounder. The device is based on its predecessor from 2016 but offers many changes and improvements. For instance, it provides better performance. On the other hand, it has also dropped at least one feature. Is the 2018 Yoga Book worth twice the price of the old version? Find out in our detailed review.
Intel Core i5-7Y54 | Intel HD Graphics 615 | 10.8" | 778 g

Successful upgrade. AMD will not be offering us an entirely new GPU series this year. Instead, AMD has launched another Polaris Refresh GPU: the RX 590, produced in a 12-nm process. This enables significantly higher clock rates compared to the RX 580 but only slight improvements in terms of power consumption. Find out whether the Polaris 30 chip is still worth a try in our review.
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X | AMD Radeon RX 590 (Desktop) | 32"

Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 | Qualcomm Adreno 512 | 6.3" | 183 g

Old wine in old skins. Hewlett Packard's 10.1-inch convertible comes with an IPS touchscreen, decent battery life, and soundless operation to boot. Its performance is fairly limited - HP opted for an outdated Atom x5 processor.
Intel Atom x5-Z8350 | Intel HD Graphics 400 (Braswell) | 10.1" | 1.2 kg

6-inch bargain. If you are looking for a budget smartphone with a large display, dual SIM and LTE functionality, then you should look no further than the Galaxy J4 Plus (2018). The device is well-designed, offers solid performance, and it is identical, except for a few details, to the more expensive Galaxy J6 Plus.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 (MSM8917) | Qualcomm Adreno 308 | 6" | 178 g

Luxury Linux. The Librem 13 is a privacy-focused Linux laptop from Purism, a boutique Linux OEM. While the device looks beautiful at first glance, software limitations and hardware bugs cripple the laptop and keep us from recommending it.
Intel Core i7-6500U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 13.3" | 1.4 kg

Intel Core i7-9700K | AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 | 32"

Makes a lot of wind. The Lenovo Legion Y530 does not waste much time with questions about the design, but delivers a lot of performance for an affordable price instead. After the review of the GTX 1050 Ti SKU, we now have a look at the model with the more powerful GTX 1060. What can users expect from this laptop?
Intel Core i7-8750H | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (Laptop) | 15.6" | 2.3 kg

An Ultrabook for gamers. The new Blade Stealth proves that not all GeForce MX150 GPUs are created equal. It's the fastest 13.3-inch Ultrabook we've tested with graphics performance just shy of a GTX 960M all in a sleek package the size of a MacBook Pro 13.
Intel Core i7-8565U | NVIDIA GeForce MX150 | 13.3" | 1.3 kg
