However, you'll have to make some compromises as a result of its price.

Blackwell GPU value edition: What exactly is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti with 16 GB of VRAM suitable for?

Lots of VRAM for little money! With the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, Nvidia introduces its most affordable entry-level graphics card into the Blackwell generation thus far—and equips it with a particularly generous VRAM capacity for its mid-range category: an impressive 16 GB of GDDR7. But is this amount sufficient for today's demanding games, high-resolution scenarios, and future gaming titles? We thoroughly tested the Asus TUF Gaming RTX 5060 Ti OC through various benchmarks, real-world games, and application scenarios to clearly demonstrate the actual capabilities of this GPU.

MonsGeek Fun60 Ultra TMR hands-on review: Rapid trigger keyboard with 8 kHz wireless polling made affordable

An almost perfect 60% rapid trigger keyboard. The MonsGeek Fun60 Ultra offers nearly everything one would expect from a rapid trigger keyboard. And unlike most Hall-effect keyboards, this one is easy on the wallet.

Samsung Galaxy S25 review (image source: Marcus Herbrich)

89% Samsung Galaxy S25 review - The star among compact smartphones is losing ground

Already going on strike? The compact Galaxy S model from Samsung has always been one of, if not the best phone among small Android phones. But the Galaxy S25 no longer seems to be able to live up to this status. At least, a glance at its datasheet gives us little hope. Or does Galaxy AI make all the difference?

Keychron K4 HE wireless gaming keyboard review

Work hard, play harder: Keychron K4 HE wireless gaming keyboard tested

Excellent build quality, decent battery life, and a num pad. The Keychron K4 HE proves that a quality wireless keyboard with Hall-effect switches doesn't need to cost the Earth. The K4 HE backs up its solid build and understated looks with a plethora of gaming features and a high degree of customisation via Keychron Launcher. The K4 HE isn't without flaws, but it is worth the $140 price tag because of its performance and features.

HP Envy x360 15 Core Ultra 7 convertible review: Disappointing for the price

75% HP Envy x360 15 Core Ultra 7 convertible review: Disappointing for the price

Too expensive for what it offers. The Envy x360 15 is HP's midrange convertible and yet it feels too barebones considering the $1200 USD asking price. Some aspects are commendable, but they are few and far between whereas competitors in the range can offer more.

Razer Blade 16 2025 review - Gaming laptop now with GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop and an even slimmer case

87% Razer Blade 16 2025 review - Gaming laptop now with GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop and an even slimmer case

Back to the roots - Will this work? The Razer Blade 16 2025 is the first laptop equipped with the brand-new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop, which runs the 240-Hz OLED panel. At the same time, the Blade 16 has again become significantly slimmer, which also means that it now uses a slower AMD Ryzen processor.

BMAX B4 Turbo review: Inexpensive mini PC with Intel N150

58% BMAX B4 Turbo review: Inexpensive mini PC with Intel N150

Turbo with a 6 W CPU? The B4 Turbo retails for well under $200 to be one of the least expensive ready-to-use mini PCs available without resorting to very old hardware. On the other hand, don't expect to get a lot done on the Twin Lake processor.

Apple iPad Air 13 (2025) review

87% Apple iPad Air 13 (2025) tablet review – Almost as good as an iPad Pro but a lot cheaper

Big top-class. The iPad Air has been given a processor upgrade in 2025: the Apple M3 now delivers the power and should make the tablet one of the fastest on the market. In our test, we took a look at what else Apple has come up with to keep its 12.9-inch tablet up-to-date.
