Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 14 review – Expensive everday laptop with OLED touch screen

87% Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 14 review – Expensive everday laptop with OLED touch screen

Meteor Lake pared down. The Galaxy Book4 Pro 14 is Samsung's slim and light notebook for everyday use. It features a recent Meteor Lake processor as well as a high-resolution 120-Hz OLED touch screen. Both performance and battery life are no more than average.

Baseus Eli Sport 1 review

Baseus Eli Sport 1 review: Headphones for attentive athletes

Listen up. Listening to music while still maintaining awareness of your surroundings. This is what Baseus wants to make possible with its Eli Sport 1. The headphones keep your ear canals free, supposedly ensuring greater safety during workouts. Nevertheless, good sound shouldn't be neglected as a result. We have listened in to what these open ears can do.

Teclast M50 review – The tablet with mobile internet, a telephone function and lots of storage

79% Teclast M50 review – The tablet with mobile internet, a telephone function and lots of storage

When less is good enough. The Teclast M50 offers no high-end performance or top-of-the-range features—it is a relatively affordable tablet that masters everything you'll need in everyday use. Plus, it even features quite a few extras, such as mobile data, a large amount of storage and stereo speakers.

RTX business. The ExpertBook B3 boasts moderate emissions, long runtimes, two RAM slots, lots of computing power and Thunderbolt 4. Thanks to its GeForce RTX 2050, the 14-inch laptop is well-equipped for GPU-demanding tasks and gaming. Positive: Asus delivers this device with a three-year warranty.

Lenovo Legion 7 16 G9 laptop review - A gaming machine with a 3.2K display, HX CPU and an overclocked RTX 4070 laptop

91% Lenovo Legion 7 16 G9 laptop review - A gaming machine with a 3.2K display, HX CPU and an overclocked RTX 4070 laptop

Does it always have to be a pro? With the Legion 7 16 G9, Lenovo is offering a comparatively slim and eye-catching gaming laptop which is also interesting for other target groups such as multimedia users or content creators. Intel's Core i9-14900HX and Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4070 laptop ensure sufficient performance for the 3.2K IPS display and its P3 coverage.

82% Acemagic AM18 review: Gaming mini-PC in eye-catching cyberpunk look with AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS and 32 GB RAM

Lots of plastic and optional RGB! The Acemagic AM18 is advertised as a compact gaming PC. Together with the AMD Ryzen 7 780HS and the AMD Radeon 780M, it contains exciting hardware that can be found in many handheld devices. We have analyzed how well the built-in hardware of the Acemagic AM18 works together based on many measurements and benchmarks.

81% Acer Aspire Go 15 review: Office notebook with long runtimes for 429 euros

Nuisance. Alder Lake, 8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, and an FHD panel result in a simple office notebook for a small budget. Very good battery runtimes and USB-C Power Delivery make a 15.6-inch laptop more attractive. The fan is not a pleasure, though.

87% LG Gram 17 (2024) laptop review - Small improvements and a new Core Ultra 7

Out of its teething troubles? LG's new Gram has stayed true to the series. From the outside, barely anything has changed about the slim 17-inch device. On the inside, a Meteor Lake processor now powers the laptop. However, LG has quietly and secretly eliminated a few of the points of criticism which we raised about our test device's predecessors.

Powerhouse. A Core i9-14900HX and a GeForce RTX 4070 equip the Aorus 16X (2024) for video editing, gaming and rendering. Adding to this is a bright 16-inch display (16:10, 2,560 x 1,600 pixels, G-Sync), 32 GB RAM, two SSDs with 1 TB of storage each, as well as a Thunderbolt 4 port.

79% GMK NucBox M5 mini PC review: AMD Zen 2 is feeling long in the tooth

Affordable but dated. For $300 with RAM and storage, the NucBox M5 cuts a lot of corners in terms of performance in order to meet that attractive price point. It's not bad all things considered, but significantly better options become available in the $400 to $500 range.

89% Dell XPS 16 9640 review - The multimedia laptop with 4K OLED and an annoying touch bar

Design over performance. The XPS 16 9640 is Dell's new multimedia flagship, replacing the old XPS 15. Aside from its larger 16-inch display, it also features current Meteor-Lake processors and GeForce graphics cards, but its GPU performance in particular is unfortunately only average.

Oppo Find X7 Ultra

91% Oppo Find X7 Ultra review - Best camera in an Android smartphone?

Smile for the camera. With the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Oppo has equipped the Find X7 Ultra with a top processor and also uses the best of the best in the rest of the hardware. But the clear highlight is the Hasselblad quad camera with its 1-inch Sony LYT-900 sensor, which gives the Oppo smartphone the potential to push top smartphones such as the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max off the camera throne.

Tecno Pova 6 Pro 5G smartphone review – Endurance artist with a light show

81% Tecno Pova 6 Pro 5G smartphone review – Endurance artist with a light show

Mini LEDs, but not in the screen. Although the idea may not be particularly new, the Tecno Pova 6 Pro 5G's light effects on the back are pretty impressive. Its transparent design is a real eye-catcher and thanks to its speedy storage, abundance of RAM and AMOLED screen, its features are just as good. Is this phone the ultimate hidden gem?

Grainy OLED? The Yoga 9 2-in-1 G9 improves upon several aspects of the Yoga 9 2-in-1 G8, but some core drawbacks remain including the unfortunate moire effect that makes the OLED display slightly grainier than most other OLED laptops.

We used the Oclean X Ultra in everyday life for four weeks. Update: Oclean is in no way affiliated with Xiaomi.

OLED touchscreen and a hefty price tag. Dell has presented the XPS 14, a new multimedia laptop of which we have tested the high-end variant with an OLED panel and the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop. At almost US$3,000, the device costs an arm and a leg and especially when it comes to performance, you shouldn't set your expectations too high.

Perfect fit for AMD Zen 4. The mini PC comes with 16 GB of RAM, 1 TB of storage, and a powerful Ryzen 7 7840HS all for under $500 to be an attractive alternative to the Intel NUC. There are a few drawbacks for sure, but they pale in comparison to the longer list of strengths.

Powerful fully-equipped off-road bike. The Z20 Plus is PVY's new foldable bike which is also supposed to be suitable for off-road use. We observed: The model is comfortable to ride, but it could run into some legal issues depending on where you are based. Update: Do not purchase PVY bicycles. They are not EN 15194-compliant and thus not legal to ride in the EU. Returning one will be difficult to do, too.

Sideways step for the series. It may be called the Alienware m18 R2, but it's more like the Alienware m18 R1.1. The CPU and GPU perform identically to last year's model for no major year-over-year improvements. Save yourself a few hundred dollars by opting for the m18 R1 version instead.

Affordable Intel GPU still too expensive? For those who dare to give Intel a chance as desktop GPU manufacturer, there is now the Intel Arc A380. For a relatively low purchase price, you get a small graphics card and 6 GB of VRAM, although you shouldn't expect too much in terms of gaming performance. We took a closer look at the performance of the affordable Intel graphics card, the Sparkle Arc A380 Elf, and analyzed it with numerous benchmarks.
