94% Apple MacBook Pro 14 2023 review: The M2 Pro is slowed down in the small MacBook Pro

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.

89% Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 1 Core i7 laptop review: Quiet at the cost of performance

Ryzen 5 6650U or Core i7-1270P? The Core i7-1270P is faster than the Core i5-1240P or Ryzen 5 6650U configurations on paper, but it's a bit more complicated in execution. The short Turbo Boost potential of the model means steeper throttling for the Core i7-1270P when running demanding loads.

Just 8 GB of fixed RAM. An AMD Zen + Nvidia MX ultrabook sounded nice a few years ago, but it's too little too late now that Zen 3+ CPUs are available with the faster, smaller, and more efficient integrated Radeon 680M. The GeForce MX450 is still not bad if you don't mind the added weight and thickness, though.

Two performance cores for 15-Watt CPUs. Intel’s Alder Lake-U chips in the 15W segment are primarily designed for thin and light laptops. However, there can be massive performance differences depending on the implementation and it does not always make sense for the manufacturers to use U-series CPUs, either.

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.

The GeForce RTX 3050 Ti is not aging well. The Victus 15 is supposed to be a wallet-friendly alternative to the Omen series, but it walks a fine line with its hefty retail price of US$1200 for an entry-level GPU that performs almost identically to the two-year old GTX 1660 Ti.

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.

88% Acer TravelMate P6 TMP614P-52 review: Lightweight office notebook with great battery life

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).

75% realme C30 smartphone review - Fast storage and plenty of stripes for the affordable model

Is one camera enough? The budget phone realme C30 will probably not win any prizes with its rather low-resolution single camera on the back, but it offers fast memory, low weight, and an unusual design. Read the review to find out whether we can recommend the smartphone.

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.

AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and AMD Ryzen 5 7600X in review: Back to the fastest gaming CPU crown with Raphael!

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.

89% Lenovo ThinkPad T14 G3 review: Business laptop is better with AMD Ryzen Pro

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.

87% 2022 HP Envy 16 laptop review: For multimedia, gamers, creators, and everyone in between

The XPS and MacBook contender. The Envy is getting bigger, but does that make it a better system? The faster performance comes at the cost of a heavier design when compared to its 15.6-inch Envy 15 predecessor.

86% Google Pixel 6a review - Powerful mid-range smartphone with a small display handicap

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.

Large battery + low power display. The Lenovo ThinkPad T16 G1, a 16-inch laptop with long battery runtimes, has been redesigned with a 16:10 display, 28-watt Alder Lake and carbon fiber. The business notebook is very quiet, economical and has a strong short-term turbo. But what about long-term performance?

Yeedi Vac Max robot vacuum hands-on: Smart house cleaning with both highs and lows

Packing both vacuum cleaning and mopping capabilities, the Yeedi Vac Max looks great in white and gets the job done well in most scenarios. With a price of less than US$300 and affordable consumables (edge brush, sponge filter, main brush, mop pad), this is a good choice for (semi-) automated house cleaning.

Untapped potential. On paper, the Aspire 5 A515-57G is a very interesting laptop. For instance, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2050 is a rather uncommon graphics card. However, Acer messed up an otherwise good idea through unnecessary blunders and conscious cost-cutting measures.

86% HP Omen 17 (2022) gaming laptop in review: Stylish case and hardware with lots of potential

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.
