Maxtang MTN-ALN50

73% Maxtang MTN-ALN50 mini PC review: Very economical office PC with good performance thanks to Intel Core i3-N305 and 8 cores

Intel Core i3 - not on the back burner. With its Intel Core i3-N305, the Maxtang MTN-ALN50 can impress with good everyday performance. Thanks to the active cooling unit, the native 8-core processor does not need to be artificially slowed down. In this review, we have analyzed how well the Maxtang MTN-ALN50 has fared against the competition and whether the price-performance ratio is right.

Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro smartwatch review - Great hardware, weak software

System change. Xiaomi relies on Wear OS for the new Watch 2 Pro and still manages a good battery life. The stainless steel casing and large AMOLED panel are also impressive. However, the Watch 2 Pro shows weaknesses in everyday use. Our test shows where Xiaomi needs to make improvements.

81% Tecno Spark 20 Pro+ smartphone review – Surprisingly good cameras for under €200

Hard to get. Tecno smartphones are still quite uncommon in Europe. But the Spark 20 Pro+ shows why this is actually a pity: a good camera with decent low-light capability, great performance and a bright display piqued our curiosity.

Skull & Bones review: Laptop and desktop benchmarks

Talked a big game. When taking a look at Skull & Bones' final ratings, it's clear that Ubisoft has made a fool of itself when announcing it as a AAAA game. In our benchmark check, you can find out how graphically demanding the game is.

89% Honor Magic V2 review - The super slim foldable with tons of power

Revolutionary? After taking a long time to find its way to the global marketplace, it's now finally here - and hasn't lost any of its charm. Even when completely folded, the Honor Magic V2 is hardly thicker than a conventional smartphone and that's why it has so much potential. The ultimate smartphone? We put it to the test.

92% Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 2024 review - The gaming laptop now with G-Sync OLED and Intel Meteor Lake

Gaming meets high-end multimedia. Asus' new ROG Zephyrus G16 features a completely new and considerably slimmer design, with a target market in mind that goes beyond just gamers. The resulting product is a high-quality 16-inch laptop with an impressive OLED panel and excellent speakers that can easily compete with Apple's MacBook Pro or the Razer Blade 16. Update: 240 Hz screen refresh rate battery life tests added

87% Asus Zenbook 14 OLED review - The 1.2-kg subnotebook with 120-Hz OLED and Core Ultra 7

Lighter than the MacBook Air. Asus has updated its Zenbook 14 OLED, now making use of an even more compact and lightweight case. Even so, it still features an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H which, in turn, now demands more from the installed cooling unit. Its new 120-Hz OLED display, on the other hand, impresses with accurate colors and good HDR capabilities.

87% HP Omen 16 (2024) review: QHD gaming notebook with Core i9 and RTX 4080 for €3,200

Focused. This HP gaming laptop comes with a fitting level of specs, boasting a Core i9, an RTX 4080, a PCIe 4.0 SSD (1 TB), 32 GB of RAM, two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a QHD display (G-Sync, 240Hz). Despite having powerful components, the notebook only produces a moderate amount of noise – with the right settings.

Model dimensions. The MatePad Pro 13.2 not only offers a large display, but also a stylus with NearLink technology for the first time, which promises a significant improvement in terms of precision and latency. But entertainment is not neglected either with HDR support and six speakers. An all-rounder?

91% Razer Blade 16 (2024) laptop review: Now with super-fast Samsung OLED

OLED or Mini-LED? Laptop manufacturers don't have it easy at the moment. Intel Gen 14 has hardly delivered any improved performance, there are no new Nvidia GPUs to install—so what reasons can you give customers to purchase your yearly laptop updates? Razer sees its answer in its display: The world's first 16-inch 240-Hz OLED made by Samsung is what the manufacturer advertizes. Is its new display truly that good and are there any other new features? Our test will find out.

Ryzen 9 8945HS Hawk Point push. Razer is starting off the new year strong with a minor but solid refresh of its smallest Blade series. Most users will overlook the CPU AI enhancements, but the minor GPU changes help the 2024 Blade 14 pull out ahead of last year's model.

KFA2 GeForce RTX 4080 Super SG review: massive Nvidia desktop graphics card can use four fans for cooling

Great performance, but somewhat loud. The GeForce RTX 4080 Super is Nividia’s fastest model in the current Ada Lovelace refresh and offers more performance than its predecessor on paper. The new models have even received a price cut. We checked out the KFA2 GeForce RTX 4080 Super SG to analyse how good the performance really is.

84% Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ review - The 90-Hz tablet with 4 years of updates leaves little more to wish for

Plus points. In our test, the 11-inch Galaxy Tab A9+ proved to be a fast and far-better-quipped successor to the much-loved Galaxy Tab A8. For a starting price of US$219.99, the tablet offers a 90-Hz display, more storage, optional 5G and for the first time, Samsung DeX. Adding to this is a generous update time period of 4 years. The tablet is set to receive Android 14 in February.

Test Samsung Galaxy A25 5G Smartphone

85% Samsung Galaxy A25 5G smartphone review - Colorful, sustainable and really good! Is there a catch?

The best smartphone display for under $300. Price-wise, the Galaxy A25 is situated in the mid-range category, and, offering 4 big Android updates as well as 5 years of security updates, it has more software support than some high-end smartphones. The built-in OIS, the very bright 120 Hz Super AMOLED display and the 3,5 mm audio jack make the Galaxy handset worthy of your attention.

Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 Super Gaming OC 12G Review: Beats the RTX 3090 and RX 7800 XT for a $50 premium over the Founders Edition

AD104 done just right. The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 Super Gaming OC presents a faster AD104 die and better cooling that fully distinguishes it from the Founders Edition card. The RTX 4070 Super Gaming OC offers palpable gains over the RTX 3090 and the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT. Our review looks into whether this is worth the US$50 moolah over the RTX 4070 Super Founders Edition.

Ultimea Apollo P40 LCD hands-on review: Bright business projector with some smarts

Simple and clean. The Ultimea Apollo P40 is a solid LCD projector with a bright lamp, good speakers, and enough smarts to make it suitable for a business setting. However, it is not a great option for those that want an all-in-one projector due to its lack of Android TV or streaming apps.

86% Dell G16 (2024) laptop review: An affordable Alienware alternative from the same manufacturer?

Thunderbolt and DCI-P3, yes or no? In contrast to Dell's Alienware series, the Dell G16 covers the mid-range segment of gaming laptops. The 2024 model relies neither on Intel's new Gen 14 chips nor on its Ultra CPUs—but in turn, its price is kept relatively low and on paper, it features a decent display. Our detailed review will uncover the laptop's strengths and weaknesses.

Intel Core i7-14700K in review

Intel Core i7-14700K Review: Equivalent performance to that of Core i9-13900K and Ryzen 9 7950X3D for nearly US$200 less

Raptor in sheep's clothing. The Core i7-14700K stands out in the Intel 14th gen Raptor Lake-S Refresh lineup with 20 cores and 28 threads. While the Core i7-14700K comes very close to the pricier Core i9-13900K, AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, and the Ryzen 9 7950X3D in overall CPU performance, things aren't as straightforward in gaming.

A glimpse into the foldable tablet future. The 2021 ThinkPad X1 Fold 13 felt like an early experiment with a lot of rough edges and performance limitations. Fast-forward a few years and Lenovo's second attempt at a foldable ThinkPad feels much more refined and competitive against traditional clamshell laptops.

Super-lative to the RTX 3090. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super retails for the same original price of US$599 as the RTX 4070 while offering nearly 21% higher shader counts. We evaluate how this benefits synthetic benchmarks and games in comparison with other cards, particularly against Team Red's offerings such as the Radeon RX 7800 XT that retails for US$100 less.

Unabashedly big with 175 W GeForce RTX graphics. Thin-and-light gaming laptops are nice and all, but they often shave off some GPU performance in order to reach a certain size and weight. The MSI Vector 16 HX is unabashedly big in order to preserve and improve graphics performance as much as possible.

Stay frosty! Gigabyte recently launched the Waterforce X II 360 as the successor to the well-received Waterforce X. While the Waterforce X II 360 does a great job in cooling our Intel Core i9-13900K, improvements this time such as a larger pump for AMD Threadripper CPUs, customizable LCD, and magnetic daisy-chain FDB fans do not come cheap.

75% Teclast P26T review - Opinions differ about the budget tablet

Affordable or already too cheap? A tablet for 100 Euros (~$108), can this work? With many affordable competitors, we can definitely give a positive answer to this question. But with the Teclast P26T, the combination of several disadvantages makes us doubt that the 10.1-inch tablet is a good deal, despite its affordable price. Our test shows for whom a purchase might still be worthwhile.

Nipogi AD08 mini PC review: The stylish PC with an Intel Core i7-12650H features a mini-tower design and three power modes

Nipogi AD08 mini PC review: The stylish PC with an Intel Core i7-12650H features a mini-tower design and three power modes

More illusion than reality. NiPoGi has given its AD08 an Intel Core i7-12650H which delivers enough performance to master everyday office tasks. As a compact gaming PC taking on a tower format, the manufacturer has gone a slightly different route when it comes to its design. In this review, you can read about what advantages arise as a result of this, and how well the NiPoGi AD08 performs compared to similarly equipped mini PCs.

Anker Prime 20,000 mAh hands-on review: Large high-performance power bank with helpful display

What is a power bank doing whilst charging? This is particularly important to know when you have a portable battery with a power budget of 200 watts. Anker demonstrates how to cleverly present this information on a display. That said, the Prime has a problem we've often seen in other Anker products.

Teclast T40 HD

79% Teclast T40 HD tablet review – The budget tablet with lots of fast storage and mobile data

House cat. The 10.36-inch tablet Teclast T40 HD features faster UFS-2.0 storage which is seldomly seen within this price range. Furthermore, you can surf the web on the device using a SIM card. This sounds like a good deal for the price — but does it have weaknesses, too?

Teclast M50 HD

79% Teclast M50 HD tablet review – This tablet is affordable, light, and well-equipped

Access the Internet almost anywhere. The Teclast M50 HD costs barely 190 Euros ($160 in the US), but you can also get it for significantly cheaper during some sales. You get a lot of storage and a dual-SIM slot, also allowing you to access the Internet or make phone calls on the road. Despite its lack of performance, is it still a good deal?

89% Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 14 G8 laptop review - AMD Zen4 isn’t automatically better

More performance, but worse runtimes. Lenovo now offers its 14-inch Yoga Pro 7 14 G8 with the current AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS (Zen4), which may offer more performance compared to the old Ryzen 7 7735HS, however, this takes its toll on the device's battery life and noise emissions.

88% MSI Prestige 16 B1MG laptop review: From Core i7 Xe to Core Ultra 7 Arc

Actual Core Ultra 7 retail unit. We went out and bought our own 1st gen Core Ultra laptop from a retail store. Is a brick-and-mortar unit just as good as all the Core Ultra 7 press units designed for reviewers? For $1400, it better be.

90% Lenovo ThinkPad T14 G4 AMD Laptop Review: Ryzen power in the compact ThinkPad

Bread and butter business with AMD. The ThinkPad T series is one of the most important parts of Lenovo's enterprise PC portfolio. Corporate purchasers get the choice: AMD or Intel for their client. There are arguments for both - with efficiency being on the side of the ThinkPad T14 Gen 4 AMD.

More than jewelry. With the FreeClip, Huawei takes a new approach to headphones and clamps them directly to the ear with the new C-bridge, while still promising full sound, a secure fit and crystal-clear calls. We have tested the FreeClip extensively.
