LG Gram Style 14 laptop review: Elegant, fast, and (too) hot

90% LG Gram Style 14 laptop review: Elegant, fast, and (too) hot

Shimmering lightweight. While hardly weighing 1 kg (~2.2 lb), the subnotebook from LG is very well equipped with the Intel Core i7-1360P, 32 GB of working memory, and OLED display. Aside from the performance, the Gram Style also offers some other qualities. What immediate strikes us, is the case surface that can shimmer in all rainbow colors. And the laptop is also able to operate completely quietly - aside from some strange exception.

However, there is one noticeable omission (in addition to smaller problems) that makes for an overall positive, if muted, improvement.

Business companion. The compact office laptop by Lenovo convinces us with low emissions, long battery life numbers and a 16 inch screen win the work-friendly 16:10 ratio (1,920 x 1,200, IPS, low power). Part of the package are two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a WWAN option.

Eleglide M2 e-bike review - Affordable all-rounder with rear motor

Time travel. With the M2, Eleglide wants to deliver an affordable E-MTB. The manufacturer installs hydraulic disc brakes, Shimano gears and a 540 Wh battery for 900 euros. We took a ride with the affordable pedelec. Here, we will clarify the compromises that a buyer of the M2 must make.

Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart: Laptop and desktop benchmarks

Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart: Laptop and desktop benchmarks

Pretty sci-fi spectacle. Although AMD graphics cards currently still have to make do without ray tracing, the PC version of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is one of the better console ports of the past few years. We ran a lot of benchmarks - including DLSS and Frame Generation.

HP Omen Transcend 16 laptop review: More than just a small name difference

88% HP Omen Transcend 16 laptop review: More than just a small name difference

Thinner and lighter than the Omen 16. Not to be confused with the regular Omen 16, the Omen Transcend 16 is the next step up for the series complete with newer features and options that future Omen models will likely draw from. Know all the differences and changes before pulling the trigger.
