Dell G15 5530 review: RTX 4050 gaming laptop in Dark Shadow Gray

85% Dell G15 5530 review: RTX 4050 gaming laptop in Dark Shadow Gray

Not a lightweight. For the G15 5530, Dell is going against the trend of slimming down devices and has given the 15-inch laptop a fairly bulky and heavy chassis. We compared the G15 with other RTX 4050 gaming laptops to find out whether the €1,000 (US$1,090) model is worth the money.

Lenovo ThinkPad P16s G2 AMD review: Power plus OLED inside this workstation laptop

89% Lenovo ThinkPad P16s G2 AMD review: Power plus OLED inside this workstation laptop

Shines on the inside. Powerful with a gleaming OLED display and an acceptable iGPU. Adding to this is a whole variety of extras, creating a workstation that's true to its name. The ThinkPad workstation's features continue with a robust case, stable keyboard, security functions and remote maintenance. However, the device can't escape all criticism.

Acer TravelMate P4 laptop review: Understatement is for the bosses

86% Acer TravelMate P4 laptop review: Understatement is for the bosses

Back-office worker. Inconspicuous emissions, visual understatement, quiet keys, a large ClickPad, and hardware that can be upgraded: Acer's 14-inch laptop can compete with Windows notebooks at the level of the HP ProBook, Lenovo ThinkPad, and Dell Latitude. But in contrast to those, it avoids standing out at all costs.

A heavy worker. No glamour, no pomp: Lenovo's small workstation concentrates on its system performance, which is considerable thanks to its AMD Radeon 780M GPU. Its equally exceptional efficiency is reflected in the excellent battery life. All would be well if it weren't for a few unnecessary weaknesses.

85% Realme GT5 review - A midrange smartphone with 24 GB of RAM, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and a 144 Hz OLED panel

Price and performance that are hard to beat. Despite opting for high-end features such as 240-watt fast charging, 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage, an OIS camera system, and tri-band GPS, the Realme GT5 can be had for a comparatively reasonable price. Our review reveals where the $550 flagship killer's weaknesses are to be found.

Lenovo Legion Go review

66% Lenovo Legion Go gaming handheld review: Good idea, not quite perfectly executed

Detachable: The Lenovo Legion Go is a different kind of detachable. Instead of removing the keyboard, on this device, you simply take off both of its controllers—turning the gaming handheld into a tablet. Its FPS mode is particularly interesting, which transforms the controllers into a mouse and keyboard. Unfortunately, not everything ran smoothly in our test.

Zotac Zbox pico PI430AJ

70% Zotac Zbox pico PI430AJ review: The world's first mini PC with active AirJet technology cools the Intel Core i3-N300 in a 0.055 gal case

Active AirJet cooling without fan. Zotac's compact pico series has undergone a significant upgrade. Alongside the introduction of the new Intel Core i3-N300 featuring 8 Alder Lake cores, Zotac stands out as the first producer to incorporate a novel cooling system. Two active AirJet modules are implemented to effectively manage the SoC even during heavy usage. We have evaluated the effectiveness of this system and assessed the overall performance of the Zotac Zbox pico PI430AJ in daily usage.

Xming Page One projector hands-on: Average projector with some nice features

Exceedingly average. The Xming Page One is a projector under the Formovie brand. Branded as the "world's first Google TV LCD projector," the Page One does little to stand out in an increasingly busy market. While it doesn't have many downsides, it also doesn't have any "must-have" features.

Raptor Lake meets USB 2.0. Huawei has equipped the 2024 model of its multimedia laptop, the MateBook D 16, with an Intel Core i9-13900H processor. However, it is held back by its power limits. Severe cuts have been made, especially regarding the ports but, by contrast, the battery life has improved.

Cheapest laptop? In this review, we will be taking a look at the current cheapest new laptop on the market. A Full-HD display, 8-core CPU as well as a slim and appealing case all sounds rather alluring. However, its ChromeOS, 4 GB RAM and 64 GB eMMC storage, as stated in the laptop's specs, may well unveil how costs have been cut.

Minisforum BD770i review: The mini-ITX motherboard with AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX as the basis for small gaming PCs

Efficient SoC for desktop systems! The Minisforum BD770i is a motherboard that includes a permanently soldered APU. The AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX is installed here, along with a large heat sink. As a result, there should be no thermal issues with the SoC. We coupled the Minisforum BD770i with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 to see whether we could make a relatively compact gaming system. All of the results may be found in this review.

88% Schenker Vision 14 M23 review - The magnesium ultrabook now with a GeForce RTX 3050 6 GB

Mini update. Schenker offers its Vision 14 with the GeForce RTX 3050 Refresh, featuring more graphics memory. All-in-all, its performance has remained almost the same and it can come nowhere near the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop. With its high-resolution IPS display and good maintenance options—allowing for up to 64 GB RAM—the laptop still proves to be an interesting option.

Aorus 15 YE5 review: The high-end gaming laptop for money savers

87% Aorus 15 YE5 review: The high-end gaming laptop for money savers

An RTX 3080 Ti for US$1,500. Aorus has made use of a last-gen CPU and GPU in order to market the ex-flagship RTX 3080 Ti for a price of only US$1,500. In turn, the laptop's case and connectivity are actually quite modern. Will you have to make any further compromises for the price, or is the Aorus YE5 a real high-end hidden gem for money savers?

Loud and proud. The Geekom Mini IT13 is the latest SFF desktop from Geekom. It sports powerful 13th Gen Intel Core processors, all the way up to an Intel Core i9-13900H. While the desktop packs a wallop, the high-end CPU requires the fan to consistently spin at high (and loud) speeds.

CPU, GPU and now NPU At least since the Pixel 6, co-processors for AI applications have found their way onto smartphones. Now the neural network accelerators can also be found on Windows laptops such as the Acer Swift Go 14 with the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H. This is one of the first laptop processors with an NPU.

Similar gaming performance to Apple M3 Pro. RDNA2 isn't necessarily bad for an entry-level Radeon GPU, but it's getting long in the tooth and difficult to recommend at such a high $1600+ price tag. The fast Ryzen 9 Pro Zen 4 CPU and 4K OLED touchscreen are otherwise highlights for the ThinkPad Z16 Gen 2 model.

The biggest step since the M1. Apple has made big changes to its new M3 Pro and M3 Max chips and for the first time, the the M3 Max not only offers considerably more GPU performance compared to the M3 Pro, but it also features a much faster CPU. This is in part due to its new core configuration. But what does the new SoC's efficiency look like?

86% LG Gram 16-inch 2-in-1 review - Weight is no longer a unique selling point

A big 2-in-1. Externally unchanged, at least the new LG Gram 2-in-1 offers up-to-date hardware when it comes to the internals. In our review device, the Intel Core i7 shows that it's capable of high performance, even in a lightweight form factor. However, in 2023, LG still hasn't managed to eliminate the device's other weak points.

In review: Google Pixel 8

89% Google Pixel 8 smartphone review: Compact and with 7 years of updates

Long lasting. The Pixel 8 is an all-round improved smartphone compared to its predecessor. The newcomer not only benefits from the bright 120 Hz display and a fingerprint reader that finally works - the biggest innovation is the extra long update support until 2030.

Keyless. The Smart Lock Touch41 from Welock can be opened via fingerprint, RFID card or your smartphone. The lock replaces the existing cylinder and makes do without the need for a key. We have tested how well the lock performs in everyday use, including what happens during a power cut and who can unlock it.
