Desktop beau. We already know Blackview from the smartphone and tablet segment, but at this point, the manufacturer also includes several Mini PCs in its portfolio.

88% Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 laptop review: Great mini-LED panel, but unnecessary cost-saving measures

Short battery life and less hardware. Lenovo is aiming for the crown in the category of 16-inch multimedia laptops with its new Yoga Pro 9i 16. Its trump card is supposed to be the high-resolution and bright mini-LED panel. However, there are unusual weaknesses in the build quality and, in contrast to the 14-inch model, features such as Advanced Optimus are missing.

Lofree Flow: Mechanical keyboard shows excellent typing feel with weaknesses in detail in a short test

Small profile, big ambitions. The Lofree Flow is a mechanical keyboard with a metal case, illumination, Bluetooth and brand-new Kailh Full POM switches that promise an excellent typing feel. The switches are convincing in the test, but the keyboard is not quite convincing.

Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 review - All-round gaming monitor takes the bend

Curvature to the max for more immersion. A lot of diagonal, a lot of hertz, a lot of resolution and above all a lot of contrast. The 32-inch offspring from Samsung's Odyssey Gaming Display division delivers a lot... at least on paper.

Slim and light. A low weight (990 g, ~2.18 lb), slim case (≤ 12.55 mm, ~0.49 in), and bright OLED display (15.6 in, FHD) that is rich in contrast represent the highlights of the LG Gram SuperSlim. Additional positive features include two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a very good battery life.

Eve Flare short review: The smart home lamp that creates good mood lighting but can't light a whole room

Lots of flare. Eve Systems' Eve Flare is a thread-based mood light which impressed during our test - as long as it wasn't trying to light up a whole room. In addition, its runtimes were much longer in practice than stated by the manufacturer. However, sometimes the lamp takes its time a little.

Large and inexpensive 16-inch convertible. The 2023 Inspiron 16 2-in-1 comes in two versions: Inspiron 16 7630 with Intel and Inspiron 16 7635 with AMD. The latter is cheaper, but it entails a longer list of cut corners that users should be aware of when compared to the Intel version.

Thanks to the economical RTX 4060 and its mature cooling system, gaming sessions will not result in sudden deafness despite the potent 16-core CPU. We were also positively surprised by the fast QHD display and although we were not dealing with the mini-LED display variant, its deployment can be found in the key lighting.

The Pro 15 for budget foxes. If you can do without a metal case and a full RGB keyboard, you do not necessarily have to go for the expensive XMG Pro 15. In our test, the XMG Focus 15 is just as performant and only has to take a back seat in few aspects. In return, the base price of the Focus 15 is about €400 less than that of the Pro 15 for practically similar performance.

80% Durabook R8 review: World's first fanless rugged tablet with Intel 12th gen

No-frills durability. The easy-to-use Durabook R8 is one of the few fanless tablets equipped with an Intel Core U-series CPU. Performance is pared back due to the lack of active cooling, but auxiliary features remain excellent.

81% Geekom Mini IT11 review: The Intel NUC competitor with a Core i7-11390H and USB4 is at its limit

Intel Tiger Lake in the year 2023? The Geekom Mini IT11 currently isn't one of the most powerful devices when it comes to pure performance. However, Geekom have updated their Mini IT11 with a now slightly outdated Intel Core i7-11390H - previously, the PC featured an Intel Core i7-1195G7. Together with modern connectivity options, the Mini IT11 currently still makes for a decent device. As the PC thankfully has a Thunderbolt port, we can also take a look at its gaming performance using an external GPU.

Putting the oomph back in the mid-range. The OnePlus Nord 3 brings some much-needed pizzazz in the hotly contested sub-₹35,000 (sub-€500) Android smartphone market. While the Dimensity 9000-powered Nord 3 is a substantial upgrade over the Nord 2 in almost all aspects, the smartphone has several glaring shortcomings as well.

Annoying fan & reduced performance. Acer have updated their Swift X 14 - this time giving the multimedia laptop a fresh new case, a new OLED panel as well as new components from Intel and Nvidia. Unfortunately, the total package of this $1,400 device seems to only impress on paper and next to its relatively short battery life in everyday use, the laptop's cooling system also proves to cause some issues.

Amazfit Bip 3 Pro review: An affordable smartwatch reveals a big weakness

Can cheap still be good? The Amazfit Bip 3 Pro is one of Amazfit's most inexpensive smartwatches and large fitness trackers. It's therefore unsurprising that the features on offer here are slimmed down compared to the more premium models. But does the wearable still do a good job? Unfortunately, our review shows that's not the case in every area.
