87% Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro 13 review: Subnotebook with efficient Alder Lake i5

Extremely mobile. The Galaxy Book2 weighs less than 1 kg and is powered by a 12th generation Intel i5. It is also extremely thin thanks to its OLED display. The result is an extremely portable notebook that Samsung has endowed with stamina and performance, but also with the usual weaknesses.

Core i5 beats Core i7: Alder Lake-P creates problems for manufacturers and customers

We reviewed a few new Alder Lake-P CPUs from Intel over the last two weeks and our concerns are supported by the test results. The power consumption is very high, which is a challenge for the cooling solutions. It is also a problem for customers, because a Core i5 can be more powerful than a Core i7 and there can be massive performance differences in general.

82% HP Victus 16 review: Affordable gaming laptop with AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU

For penny pinchers. In the most affordable version of the Victus 16, HP combines a Ryzen 5 5600H with a GeForce RTX 3050 Ti, which promises plenty of performance for the 144-Hz FHD display. If it only wasn't for the mediocre image quality…

83% MSI Katana GF76 12UGS review: Is one of the most affordable RTX 3070 Ti gaming laptops worth it?

Scrimpy plastic sword. Both the 15-inch and the 17-inch versions of the Katana are some of the most affordable gaming laptops on the market. The powerful hardware of our test configuration with Alder Lake and RTX 3070 Ti can hardly be the reason for this, so where did the manufacturer make the cuts? Our test will find out.

87% Asus Zenbook Pro 15 OLED UM535Q laptop review: Like an AMD-powered XPS 15

OLED is the new standard. As one of the few 15.6-inch laptops to pair an AMD Zen 3 Ryzen 9 CPU with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti, the ZenBook Pro 15 OLED is able to offer more performance than most other ultrathin multimedia laptops out there. We would have preferred an older GTX 1660 Ti option, however.

Blade is Blade? The Razer Blade 17 with the RTX 3070 Ti is a full 800 Euros (~$842) cheaper than with the RTX 3080 Ti. With the thin case of the Blade, can you really notice a performance difference in favor of the more expensive GPU? We'll get to the bottom of this in our review.

Enough power for 2560x1440. After years of 15- and 17-inch displays dominating the gaming scene, more and more 16-inch devices are entering the market. One of the best examples of this is the new version of the HP Omen 16 with an Alder Lake CPU and an Ampere GPU.

The Radeon RX 5500M isn't looking so hot these days. It's acceptable that budget gaming laptops aren't going to give you the best graphics. However, you'll still want to avoid certain models due to an aging GPU with poor performance relative to most others in its price category.

Not a miracle machine, but sufficient. HP's Omen 16 with AMD's Ryzen processor is sparing in its use of gaming components.

87% MSI Creator Z16: Creative laptop with AdobeRGB in review

3-fan behemoth. MSI dares to fight for the creative crown of the 16-inch superstars. Creatives are supposed to achieve results in the shortest time with high performance. The idea is essentially successful, but the details are slightly lacking, which makes the Z16 miss the mark of Very Good.

86% Alienware m15 R6 laptop review: More efficient, but the RTX 3080 is slower than in the predecessor

Hot iron. Wait a minute, another m15? Yes, after the m15 R5 with a Ryzen processor now comes the m15 R6 with an Intel CPU, which brings the usual advantages and disadvantages (keyword Thunderbolt). Of course, the new Tiger Lake processor is more efficient and also faster than the Comet Lake predecessor in the R4, but Dell applies the emergency brakes in the 3D performance, and the R4 also still has something to say here.

84% Schenker XMG Apex 15 in gaming laptop review: This time with laptop CPU, but still with desktop cooling

Where is the desktop CPU? The predecessor was equipped with a swappable socket CPU for desktops, wiped the floor with the competition in terms of performance, but was clearly too loud. The current Apex 15 uses a normal laptop CPU, but still retains some features from the predecessor. This has advantages and disadvantages, but which ones outweigh the others?

Even so, the family has its gems including the new IdeaPad 5 Pro 14 which could have easily passed as a Yoga if not for a couple of caveats.

The Asus VivoBook 15 KM513 offers the AMD Ryzen 5 5500U APU and a vibrant Samsung OLED HDR panel at a starting price of ₹62,990 (US$846). While this is surely an enticing proposition, some of the qualms that the VivoBook series is known for continue to remain.

We found only a couple of glaring caveats that we hope future revisions can address.

Power banks are handy accessories for phones, peripherals or possibly tablets, which may be why OEMs like RAVPOWER now also aims them at laptop users. This new device purports to contain the tech necessary to power an ultrabook at up to 90 watts (W) via USB type-C. Can it live up to these lofty claims?

Budget laptop with potential. The Lenovo ThinkPad L series represents the entry level among the B2B models; the ThinkPad L14 Gen 2 is one of the cheapest ThinkPad laptops with a 14-inch display.

Fan heater. The Modern 14 scores with a Core i7-1165G7 processor, GeForce MX450 graphics core, and 16 GB of working memory. However, the latter is only able to operate in single-channel mode. In addition, the laptop heats up very significantly under heavy load and produces a lot of noise.

90% Asus ROG Zephyrus S17 laptop review: Gaming device case opens up to provide more fresh air. Cool - but is it safe?

Open Sesame! Laptops have little space to adequately cool powerful hardware. Asus probably wondered, "why don't we just open the case and let the hardware get a direct supply of fresh air?" No sooner said than done, but does this actually work? Does it deliver the promised advantages in terms of noise and temperature, and is it stable enough at the same time? We put this to the test.
