Megapixels don't always matter. The Yoga Slim 9 14 G10 is Lenovo's shiniest laptop yet in the most literal sense with its reflective 2.5D glass. Its Intel CPU and 32 MP UDC also sound amazing on paper, but webcam aficionados have reasons to be wary.

Epomaker Tide65 wireless mechanical keyboard review

Epomaker Tide65 wireless mechanical keyboard review: Solid budget gaming keyboard, mediocre typing experience

Subtle gaming looks on a budget. The Epomaker Tide65 is more than just a shrunken-down version of the Tide75 we reviewed previously. The compact layout, fast wireless connectivity and lightweight short-travel gaming switches check a lot of boxes, especially considering the price. However, its gaming focus results in a compromised typing feel if you get the wrong configuration.

Windows, SteamOS or both? The Lenovo Legion Go S aims to be the jack-of-all-trades among gaming handhelds. Lenovo currently offers it with Windows and from May, it will also be available with Valve's gaming operating system. However, as a result of its somewhat slow APU and Windows, the handheld didn't do entirely well during our test.

A cheaper alternative to the Apple iPad Air. In many areas, Xiaomi's Pad 7 Pro is better than an iPad Air 2024 but costs less than half the price. In particular, the Xiaomi Tab's 3K display is unrivaled in this price range. However, compared to the Xiaomi Pad 7, there is probably a catch with the Pro version.

Workstation with low power. A more powerful version of the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 5: This is the promise of the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 AMD. Performance is truly better, but this comes at a cost. Also, the OLED screen of the ThinkPad laptop leads to a bad endurance when running on battery power.

Epomaker Tide 75 wireless mechanical keyboard hands-on review: Sleek design and great battery life with major weakness

Well-rounded; not perfect. The Epomaker Tide 75 isn't a revolutionary custom mechanical keyboard by any stretch of the imagination. However, it checks all the boxes, including VIA support, a gasket mount, do-it-all switches, and a well-made aluminium case, making it a solid choice for the price.

91% Apple MacBook Pro 14 2024 M4 Pro entry laptop review - Who needs the M4 Pro?

More joy with 12 cores? 12 processor cores, 24 GB of RAM, and a 16-core graphics card are supposed to entice the buyer to part with their money. After the base model did an excellent job, we still need to find out what extra value the small M4 Pro brings to the table.

87% Apple iPad mini 7 (2024) review: This compact tablet continues to be nearly unrivaled

Top and again not. The new Apple iPad mini is certainly the best tablet in its size class, combining everything that a compact tablet should have. The Cupertino-giant has, however, failed to put the finishing touches to the Mini 7, so it doesn't really have that high-end feel.

Multiple personality. Everyone wants a modular smartphone, and HMD makes it easy: The HMD Fusion can be outfitted in different ways, turning it into an outdoor or gaming phone. Many parts can also be replaced quite easily. In the test, we evaluate whether this seems too good to be true.

88% Xiaomi 15 smartphone review - Xiaomi's flagship phone sets new benchmarks for performance and battery life

Recipe for success. The Snapdragon 8 Elite makes the Xiaomi 15 one of the fastest Android phones currently on the market. Plus, the 6.36-inch Xiaomi flagship has a lot more to offer, such as record runtimes and an even brighter display that can reach peaks of 3500 nits. Our test will reveal how much the competition has to live up to.
