89% HP Envy x360 2-in-1 14 (2024) Laptop Review: A near-premium convertible experience that leaves us wanting more

Enviable contortionist. The HP Envy x360 2-in-1 nails the basics with its sleek design, premium build, and a vibrant 120 Hz OLED display. However, HP's performance choices with the Intel Core Ultra 5 125U Meteor Lake CPU raises a few questions. We look into this and other aspects of this impressive convertible.

TeamGroup MP44 2 TB SSD review: Internal PCIe 4.0 SSD on par with the Samsung 980 Pro

Graphene cooling pad. TeamGroup promises sequential transfer rates of around 7,000 MB/s for its internal PCIe 4.0 x 4 SSD MP44—similar to the Samsung 980 Pro. The manufacturer is also particularly proud of its ultra-thin graphene cooling pad. We put both to the test and checked these promises for truthfulness using various benchmarks.

64% Xiaomi Redmi A3 smartphone review – Lots of upgrades on the budget phone

Frugal evolution. If you're looking for an inexpensive phone above all else, then the Xiaomi Redmi A3 may be worth a look: The manufacturer only demands US$130 for it, but you still get WiFi 5 and a PWM-free display. However, our test also revealed some weaknesses that you should know about before purchasing it ...

Minimalist mini-PC! Geekom's GT13 Pro follows on from the existing model range with a stylish design. The Intel Core i9-13900H promises a lot, but in this detailed review, we take a closer look at how well the high-end SoC performs in the small 0.5 liter case. With 32 GB RAM and a 2 TB SSD, the mini PC is well equipped, which is also reflected in the connections with two USB4 ports.

83% Asus Vivobook S 15 OLED review - A new age of laptops with the new Snapdragon X Elite?

MacBook Air killer or all just hype? The Vivobook S 15 OLED was previously only available with AMD and Intel processors but now, the new ARM chip—the Snapdragon X Elite—makes its debut inside this large multimedia laptop. The result is a surprisingly normal laptop with an impressive OLED panel which, unfortunately, doesn't run all applications and games.

SCHENKER XMG Core 15 (M24) laptop review: A premium, metal-cased gaming machine from Germany

84% SCHENKER XMG Core 15 (M24) laptop review: A premium, metal-cased gaming machine from Germany

A more affordable Fusion 15. The new XMG Core 15 is housed in the same, premium and stylish metal case as the XMG Fusion 15. This makes it potentially interesting for creators as well as simultaneously costing quite a bit less than the Fusion. We examine where Schenker has cut costs and whether the new Core 15 is a good tip for price-conscious creators and gamers.

HD entertainer. Tablets below US$200 often leave a lot to be desired when it comes to performance and connectivity. You will have to make a few compromises if you go for the Teclast P50 as well but in return, you get a surf and multimedia tablet with decent storage, good runtimes and 4G capabilities.

Several tweaks from top to bottom. The S15 is back with more optional features including a super-bright 1000-nit IPS display and discrete Quadro T1000 graphics. Its relatively lightweight build is perhaps most impressive, but keyboard and battery life could be a little better.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 5G in review

76% Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 5G Smartphone Review: 120 Hz AMOLED and capable 108 MP shooter for less than ₹20,000 (€200)

Cheap 5G thrill without frills. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 5G is a well-rounded device powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6080 SoC that offers a lot of modern smartphone features including 5G, 120 Hz AMOLED display, and a 108 MP triple-camera for ₹18,999 (€210). While the experience with the Note 13 5G is largely positive, it is clear that Xiaomi had to cut a lot of corners to tame the pricing.

Inexpensive, solid and without gimmicks! The Minisforum Venus Series UN100D is an inexpensive mini-PC and vies for the favor of price-conscious buyers. The manufacturer uses an Intel N100 processor - a popular model for inexpensive mini-PCs.

INMOTION E20: Testing the world’s "easiest-to-learn" electric unicycle

INMOTION touts its innovative E20 as the easiest way to enjoy e-mobility without trappings such as handlebars, chains or even a real saddle. It is based on the electric unicycle (EUC) genre of vehicles, yet is backed as stable and safe enough even for riders that range from the very young to the utterly unexperienced - like this NBC reviewer. Can the first-gen "Self-Balancing Vehicle" get backers speeding to its impending crowdfunding campaign?

Outdoor marathon. With its huge battery, the Oukitel WP35 has endless stamina which, however, comes at the cost of higher weight and chunkier dimensions. But, at under $300, its night vision camera, decent storage specs and pure Android 14 mean you get a lot for your money.

Standstill on the executive floor? Lenovo has dropped the name Yoga from its flagship convertible for business customers, now calling it the ThinkPad X1 2in1. AI marketing aside, its new Meteor Lake processor offers little performance and its high-resolution OLED touchscreen isn't entirely good. Lenovo also offers an optional haptic touchpad without TrackPoint buttons.

The IPS screen in 3:2 format is bright and offers 120 Hz, while the Core Ultra 5 125H is fast and the battery runtimes are also good.

89% Dell Precision 5490 workstation review: Now with Intel Meteor Lake-H vPro

High performance-per-volume. One of Dell's smallest Precision laptops gets the Intel AI treatment. Otherwise, raw performance hasn't improved by significant or even moderate margins over last year's model.

Nothing Phone (2a)

87% Nothing Phone (2a) Review - The first affordable Nothing smartphone

A shining example. Up until now, Nothing's smartphones have been far from cheap. The Nothing Phone (2a) sets the record straight. The 6.7-inch device has a starting price of £320 and gets to hold on to a lot of the more expensive Nothing Phone (2)'s hardware, including the iconic Glyph interface. So is this essentially a lot of great tech for little money? Let's find out.

89% Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 G9 laptop review: MiniLED with 1200 nits and Core Ultra 9

Now with Advanced Optimus, but the power supply is too weak. Lenovo has improved its multimedia Yoga Pro 9i 16 flagship of the G9 generation in several areas. The 3.2K mini LED panel with 1200 nits is optionally matte and accompanied by Advanced Optimus. We put the most powerful configuration, which has the Core Ultra 9 185H and GeForce RTX 4070 laptop, to the test.

Then the Cubot KingKong AX could very well meet this requirement, as it is relatively slim and features a second display on the back as its highlight. Did the stable phone manage to impress us during our test?

Tiny gaming device. The Razer Edge is an Android-based gaming tablet that can be turned into a handheld with a Kishi V2 Pro controller. Compared with Windows-based handhelds, it is not only lighter but, most crucially, also much more affordable. We took an in-depth look at the Edge.

87% Lenovo Yoga Book 9 13IMU9 2-in-1 dual screen review: Core Ultra 7 155U and Arc 4 are a mixed bag

Much quieter than before. The dual-screen Yoga Book 9i is back this year with new Meteor Lake-U CPUs and integrated Arc graphics. The differences and performance advantages between the 2023 and 2024 models, however, aren't what we were expecting.
