The infinite battery claim holds true. With a fairly simple solution – a small internal battery and two swappable battery packs – Glorious has a worthy competitor to Logitech’s Powerplay system, though not as effortless. But, you don’t need to buy a mousepad to enjoy infinite battery life.

Colour into the darkness. Outdoor security cameras are no longer niche products. With the third generation of the Outdoor Camera Plus, Ring is attempting to strike a balance between robust surveillance technology, ease of use and smart integration into connected homes. We tested it out.

Enduring lightweight. The Ninkear S14 combines low weight, solid performance and a high-quality IPS display to create an attractive overall package. With the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS, 16 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD, the notebook is ideal for pupils, students and mobile office users.

Orange-colored aluminum and glass. Which iPhone is the best? It goes without saying, Apple will point to the iPhone 17 Pro Max, since their new flagship iPhone model is home to every superlative in the book. It might also be a worthwhile upgrade, because numerous fine details have been improved compared to its predecessor. In terms of battery life, you could even say the 17 Pro Max is proving itself to be the new iPhone ultimate.

An evolved Huntsman keyboard with minor but impactful changes. Razer believes its analog optical switches perform more reliably than Hall effect alternatives. Notebookcheck’s Huntsman V3 Pro TKL 8KHz review tests whether adjustable actuation fulfills that lofty goal. While marketed to esports competitors, new customization options may benefit a broader audience.

Powerful. The Alldocube Ultra Pad stands out in testing with its spacious 13-inch display, powerful Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 processor, generous memory, and massive 15,000 mAh battery. It’s ideal for work, streaming, and everyday use. Despite its heft and underwhelming cameras, it still delivers solid value for the money.

Not a "Pro", not a problem? Lenovo goes one better and equips its mid-range Legion 5 15 with a brilliant OLED panel and the mobile GeForce RTX 5070, priced at €1,499 (approx. $1,742). This time, the Intel Core i7-13650HX handles the processing duties. Is this the best mainstream gaming laptop on the market?

The AMD Ryzen Z2 A falls short of expectations. The ROG Xbox Ally is Asus's more affordable take on its new handheld line. At €599, it goes head-to-head with Valve's Steam Deck OLED, but under the hood it still runs on AMD's older Zen 2 architecture, limiting performance gains.
AMD Ryzen Z2 A | AMD Radeon Steam Deck 8CU | 7.00" | 670 g

Way more performance. Apple's MacBook Pro 14 is faster than ever with the new M5 SoC—plus, it finally features faster SSDs. Even so, it still lags behind the more expensive Pro models, as it lacks better cooling and Wi-Fi 7.
Apple M5 (10 Cores) | Apple M5 GPU | 14.20" | 1.5 kg

With great power comes greater efficiency. The new Apple M5 SoC is here and we have been able to test its performance in the new MacBook Pro 14 base model. Now we take a closer look at how the new chip compares to the competition from AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm in terms of both performance and efficiency.

You can have a bigger battery. Europe only ever gets phones with smaller batteries? Xiaomi shows that doesn't have to be the case, since the Redmi 15 5G comes with a powerful 7,000 mAh battery. Our review reveals what this means for the battery life and what else this relatively affordable phone has to offer.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 | Qualcomm Adreno 619 | 6.90" | 224 g

Nvidia RTX Pro 2000 Blackwell debut. The ZBook X G1i 16 is a refreshed ZBook Power 16 but with faster and more efficient processors to tackle thin-and-light competitors like the Dell Precision 5690.
Intel Core Ultra 7 265H | NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell Generation Laptop | 16.00" | 2.2 kg

Faster than many laptops. Apple has updated its iPad Pro series, equipping its high-end tablet with the new M5 processor and Wi-Fi 7. Performance surpasses many modern laptops, and with the new iPadOS 26 and Magic Keyboard, it almost feels like a MacBook.
Apple M5 (10 Cores) | Apple M5 GPU | 11.00" | 446 g

All caught up. The Galaxy Watch Ultra is Samsung’s flagship smartwatch, but recent updates to the Galaxy Watch8 have closed much of the gap between the two models. Our review reveals what still sets the Watch Ultra 2025 apart.

Lots of stamina & Wi-Fi 7. The Galaxy Book4 Edge is a 15.6-inch everyday laptop for less than $700. The Snapdragon processor offers sufficient performance and enables very long battery runtimes, but you have to do without a backlit keyboard.
Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus X1P-42-100 | Qualcomm SD X Adreno X1-45 1.7 TFLOPS | 15.60" | 1.5 kg

The perfect symbiosis of NAS and mini PC. The Minisforum N5 Pro is the world's first AI NAS and received a Storage Technology Innovation Award at IFA 2025. With the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370, 10G LAN, and DDR5 memory, it combines maximum performance, efficiency, and AI intelligence in a compact form factor.
AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 | AMD Radeon 890M | 5 kg

Even better without major compromises. With the OnePlus Nord CE5, there is finally a regular mid-range model from the Nord CE series once again and not just a mediocre light model. With a fast MediaTek Dimensity 8350 SoC, bright AMOLED display, and a decent camera system, the OnePlus Nord CE5 could be an exciting newcomer and shake up things in the mid-range.
MediaTek Dimensity 8350 | ARM Mali-G615 MP6 | 6.77" | 199 g

Intel Core Ultra 7 265H | NVIDIA RTX 500 Ada Generation Laptop | 14.00" | 1.7 kg

Compact and powerful. The iPhone 17 Pro features a new aluminum design, a larger battery, the faster A19 Pro chip, and an improved camera. However, in everyday use, the weaknesses become apparent: a scratch-prone body, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity issues, and heat buildup under load tarnish the impression. Our review reveals whether an upgrade is worthwhile.
Apple A19 Pro | Apple A19 Pro 6-Core GPU | 6.30" | 206 g

A slender mechanical keyboard that adapts to any gamer's preferences. Vulcan gaming keyboards have survived against lofty competition by considering aesthetics and value. The wired Turtle Beach Vulcan II TKL offers even more customization with hot-swappable linear switches. Notebookcheck’s review finds that it’s a worthy addition to the Vulcan family despite a few shortcomings.

The Xbox handheld? The new ROG Xbox Ally X is the result of a close cooperation between Asus and Microsoft. The new Xbox full-screen experience is supposed to improve the usability of Windows on a handheld. We review the high-end model with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme and the Radeon 890M. Update: Benchmarks w/ GeForce RTX 5090 laptop GPU.
AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme | AMD Radeon 890M | 7.00" | 718 g

Extra wide 65% keyboard. The Epomaker Galaxy68 is an excellent wireless mechanical keyboard that comes in at an affordable $99, although the 65% form factor belies the keyboard's actual size. With wide bezels and an odd navigation cluster, the Galaxy68 is wide enough that I'm left wondering whether it'd be better as a TKL.

Just-in-time power that delivers. LiTime obviously strives to deliver a premium auxiliary power experience, with every product in this review feeling not only premium but also easy-to-use and reliable.

Surprisingly great features for the price. Users looking for OLED P3 colors and don't mind the idiosyncrasies of Windows on ARM will find the OmniBook 5 14 to be a strong and very inexpensive solution.
Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus X1P-42-100 | Qualcomm SD X Adreno X1-45 1.7 TFLOPS | 14.00" | 1.3 kg

Optionally with LTE. The OnePlus Pad Lite should not cost the earth, but at the same time satisfy users with its metal casing, large battery and great sound system. We take a close look at whether this works in our review.
Mediatek Helio G100 | ARM Mali-G57 MP2 | 11.00" | 530 g

Professional driving experience for casuals and enthusiasts alike. The Asetek Initium Racing Bundle brings the company’s top-tier sim racing expertise to a more affordable package. The wheelbase packs a punch and the pedals offer best in class performance.

GPU overclocking. After reviewing Lenovo's LOQ series in several 15- and 16-inch versions, it's now fine time for an even larger model, the LOQ 17. How does this gaming laptop fare in the competitive midrange market?
Intel Core i7-14700HX | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop | 17.30" | 2.9 kg

Cool modules. Compact gimbal, selfie stick, key light, gesture control, AI tracking camera, and a detachable touchscreen remote — all packed into one device. That’s what the Hohem iSteady V3 Ultra offers for around $150. We took it for a spin to see what it’s capable of.

A smart choice for smart minds. The Lenovo IdeaTab Plus makes it a pretty easy decision for buyers. For under $290, you get a lightweight and well-equipped 12.1-inch tablet that comes with a stylus. It's primarily intended as a companion for university lectures. However, the IdeaTab Plus is just as well-suited for surfing or streaming, as our review demonstrates.

Old vision, new clarity. Once a breakthrough in portable AR, the XReal Air promised a big-screen experience in a pair of lightweight glasses. But in 2025, can it still compete with newer mixed reality headsets?

Nvidia RTX Pro 5000 Blackwell debut. The Dell Pro Max 16 Plus is a unique workstation with its DGFF card, CAMM2 RAM, 4K UHD 120 Hz OLED touchscreen, and modular USB-C ports. Do the fancy features translate to faster performance?

Progress denier? Compared to the two-year-old Galaxy Tab A9, the Galaxy Tab A11 offers only minimal changes: The SoC, design, and limited storage – everything remains the same. Do the small updates to the camera and display at least manage to impress?
Mediatek Helio G99 | ARM Mali-G57 MP2 | 8.70" | 335 g

Deep sound. Baseus claims its Inspire XH1 are among the most affordable over-ear Bluetooth headphones with active noise cancelling — and that, thanks to a collaboration with Bose, they deliver outstanding sound quality. According to Baseus, the XH1 can compete with models in the $250 range. We put that claim to the test.

Full of compromises. The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE offers a lot of features and performance at a now significantly reduced price, combined with 7 years of updates. However, the improvements over its predecessor are only minor, and the Fan Edition really falls short when it comes to battery life.
Samsung Exynos 2400 | Samsung Xclipse 940 | 6.70" | 190 g

A direct clash with Call of Duty. After several relatively quiet years, the Battlefield franchise is roaring back with its sixth installment. We took a close look not only at the gameplay, but also at the GPU requirements - including upscaling and frame generation.

Pure blue workstation. With the 2025 generation, HP retires its ZBook Firefly branding, instead selling the HP ZBook 8 G1i 14 as its affordable workstation laptop. The newest version uses Intel Arrow Lake H and our particular model does not have a Nvidia GPU - can the experiment with using just Intel graphics work?
Intel Core Ultra 7 255H | Intel Arc Graphics 140T | 14.00" | 1.7 kg

From Max to budget. With the introduction of the Omen Max in early 2025, HP has split its gaming lineup: the Max models are thicker but faster, while the regular Omen series now targets the budget segment. As a result, HP made several adjustments to the new Omen 16. But does this “budgetification” come with any real advantages? Let’s find out.
AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop | 16.00" | 2.4 kg

A cheaper alternative to the Galaxy Tab S11. The Yoga Tab Plus's affordable sister model comes with a 144 Hz screen, a matching Pro pen, and the powerful Snapdragon SoC. With long battery life and a comprehensive range of accessories, the affordable Yoga tablet is perhaps a better Android alternative to the Galaxy Tab S11. Does that make the Yoga Tab a real bargain?

1,000 nits SDR, 1,600 nits HDR and AdobeRGB. The Yoga Pro 9i 16 was already available with a very good OLED screen, but the new tandem OLED panel is even better. We test the high-end configuration with the new 3.2K OLED panel, a Core Ultra 9, 64 GB RAM and the mobile GeForce RTX 5070.
Intel Core Ultra 9 285H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop | 16.00" | 1.9 kg

Ad astra, per wallet. The ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 OC is Asus's most premium offering of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Blackwell GPU. The ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 OC features a quad-axial fan setup, an all-metal build, extra fan headers, and a high factory overclock, but these niceties come at a price that reaches for the stars.
Intel Core i9-14900K | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 | 32.00" | 2.9 kg

Nothing too fancy. The Cubi 2MG prioritizes reliability with generally fewer features than the competition. For almost $900, however, performance-per-dollar isn't one of its strongest qualities.
Intel Core Ultra 7 258V | Intel Arc Graphics 140V | 669 g

Thin and expensive. Samsung is now equipping its slim 14-inch laptop with Intel's efficient Lunar Lake processors, resulting in better runtimes. However, the price remains high, and Samsung is also slowly losing market share in the OLED panel segment.
Intel Core Ultra 5 226V | Intel Arc Graphics 130V | 14.00" | 1.2 kg

The best headphones Bowers & Wilkins has ever made - these are the words the manufacturer uses to describe its new flagship model. We tested the Px8 S2 at launch, and it turns out the British hi-fi specialist has (almost) perfected the fundamentals. Still, the Px8 S2 isn’t particularly smart.

More productive. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra 5G is a super-slim high-end tablet with a huge display, powerful performance, and versatile features. Whether for work, creativity or entertainment, it aims to set new standards. We tested whether it can truly live up to these high expectations.

Desktop GPU for laptops. With the AORUS RTX 5090 AI Box, Gigabyte presents an external GPU solution based on the fastest consumer graphics card currently available. This makes it easy to use the enormous performance of an RTX 5090 on a laptop or mini PC. However, there are a few limitations to consider. In this review, we have taken a closer look at what these are and what performance is possible in practice.

Understated simplicity. The 230 ISO-lumen TCL C1 projector runs Google TV and offers free live TV. It features automatic image setup, voice commands, and wireless speaker mode in an easy-to-use, compact design. Our review reveals what the TCL C1 can and cannot do.

EliteBook revamped. Zen 4 or Zen 5? HP offers both in its EliteBook 8 G1a 14, a mainline business PC for large enterprise, but also anyone who looks for a great office laptop. Our review unit is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 250 - not the newest, but still more than fast and efficient enough while being more affordable.

The V Max Play is a yet another rugged, throw-me-at-a-wall-and-I-will-survive Doogee-brand smartphone with a shockingly large battery. Its powerful back lights and built-in projector are what truly makes this Android 15 handset shine, pun intended. Its performance is fairly good, too but other aspects, like the cameras, are a bit of a letdown.
MediaTek Dimensity 7300X | ARM Mali-G615 MP2 | 6.78" | 685 g

PCIe 5.0x4 SSD. PCIe 5.0 SSDs are potentially much faster than their PCIe 4.0 predecessors. TeamGroup sent us a 2 TB sample of the T-Force Z540, rated for up to 12,400 MB/s in sequential read speed. So, we removed the SSD from the XMG Pro 16, installed the Z540, and checked whether the drive delivers on its promises!

Artificial intelligence issues. Vidu.com claims its AI can generate videos with consistent characters and environments. That would mean you could string together multiple sequences with the same “actors” and potentially create entire (short) films. But does it actually work? We put it to the test.

A near-perfect starter mechanical keyboard. The Keychron C1 Pro 8K is a $55 budget mechanical keyboard that makes all the right sacrifices without compromising on functionality, style, or ergonomics.
