Now with fast WLAN. Apple has upgraded the MacBook Pro 14 and the new M2 Pro offers greater performance, and fast WLAN is finally supported. Overall, the MBP 14 is an excellent machine, but Apple has also put some brakes on the M2 Pro in the small MacBook Pro.

76% Geo Computers GeoFlex 140 2-in-1 laptop in test: A convertible for about $160
It hardly gets any cheaper. The GeoFlex 140 is a convertible that is offered for less than 200 Euros (~$218) at some shopping events. You do not get much performance for that, but you get a 2-in-1 laptop with Windows 11 Home license and one year of Microsoft Office 365. If you get both via Microsoft, they already cost more than the convertible.

Trigkey S3 mini PC review: Core i3-like performance for the price of a Celeron or Atom
Ryzen 5 3550H in 2023. The Trigkey is inexpensive at just under US$300, but it thankfully sidesteps the terribly slow Celeron or Atom solutions for an older but faster AMD Zen+ processor instead. Even light HTPC multi-tasking can benefit from the aging AMD processor.

84% LG Ultra PC 16 (2022) AMD review: This is not a gram.
More stamina than the gram. It is called an Ultra PC and is cheaper than a gram. This 16-inch laptop has a longer battery life than the already long-lasting Intel-based LG gram. What's more, the device only needs a 72 Wh battery (rather than 80 Wh) to achieve this level of battery life. At 400 g heavier, the Ultra PC is admittedly not quite a "gram", but it is still a respectable piece of hardware no less.

87% Lenovo ThinkPad Z16 G1 laptop review: Powerful AMD flagship with a hickup
Premium problem case. A high quality, a high performance, and even relatively efficient with current AMD Ryzen CPUs and Radeon graphics - what could possibly go wrong? Quite a lot, actually. But it was really only one problem with the Lenovo ThinkPad Z16 G1, that created difficulties for our test evaluation.

CAMM memory preview: The Dell SODIMM revolution
The pros and cons of CAMM. We take a firsthand look at the technology that Dell has been pouring years of work into to replace SODIMM. If all goes well, future laptops will drop SODIMM altogether much like how M.2 has effectively replaced the 2.5-inch SATA slot.

Lots of small changes that add up. The 2022 Envy x360 15 may look a lot like the 2021 model, but all the under-the-hood upgrades help make it a much better system. Users are getting additional ports, a higher resolution webcam, a faster Zen 3 processor, and more.

Long lasting. The TravelMate offers a Core i7 processor (Tiger Lake), 16 GB of RAM and excellent battery life. Acer has made a great decision to use a 14-inch display with a work-friendly 16:10 aspect ratio (1,920 x 1,200 pixels) and provide a three-year warranty on the device in Germany (two years in the US).

84% MSI Creator Z17 Laptop review: What are creatives and gamers getting for around 4,000 Euro?
RTX 3070 Ti for 4,000 Euro? MSI wants consumers to fork out over 4,000 Euro (US$3,875) for its Creator Z17. But what makes the laptop so special for creatives that justifies the price? The Core i9-12900H and RTX 3070 Ti don't deliver the full answer. So let us examine this question in our in-depth review.

Many innovations and a lot of power! Almost two years after the release of the Ryzen 5000 processors, AMD now unleashes its current line-up aka Raphael with a modern Zen 4 architecture into the race for the performance crown of the fastest CPU. Intel's Core i9-12900K often only sees the taillights with second-fastest model in our review, the Ryzen 9 7900X. You can find out how big the lead is and what AMD's smaller Ryzen 5 7600X can do in this detailed review.

Now with a 16:10 display. Lenovo has completely redesigned the popular ThinkPad T14 G3 business notebook and deploys a new case together with a 16:10 display, but the keyboard is once again slightly inferior. The new AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U offers plenty of CPU power as well as a fast integrated GPU, ensuring a very efficient laptop overall.

The most affordable Pixel. The small, 6.1-inch Google Pixel 6a is very fast and offers perhaps the best cameras in the smartphone mid-range. In addition, it scores with a bright AMOLED display, a good battery life, and a long period of updates. However, particularly the display of the Android 13 smartphone might cause some mixed feelings, as our test shows.

The business notebook is very quiet, economical and has a strong short-term turbo. But what about long-term performance?

Auspicious power is not the case with the HP Omen 17. The gaming laptop fully utilizes its potential regarding the TDP and TGP of the Intel Core i7 12700H and the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti. But gamers can also do things differently: if energy-saving settings are set correctly, the energy-hungry gamer becomes a meek, lamb-like laptop with a useful battery life.
