81% Lenovo IdeaCentre Mini 01IRH8 review: An Intel NUC challenger approaches

Look ma, no power brick! With so many mini PCs to choose from nowadays, the IdeaCentre Mini will need something up its sleeve to really stand out from the crowd. Luckily, its integrated PSU and inexpensive price of under US$700 for the Core i7 option might just be enough.

Kingston XS1000 external SSD hands-on review: Basic drive that fits almost anywhere

Kingston XS1000 external SSD hands-on review: Basic drive that fits almost anywhere

Fast enough. This tiny Kingston SSD is supposedly able to deliver speeds of up to 1,000 MB/s over USB and thus offer great performance for a small price tag. In this review, we’ll discuss how much of this actually holds true and whether the device is fast enough for you to run games off it.

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.

87% Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7630 laptop review: 60 W GeForce RTX 4060 isn't so bad

Multimedia, gaming, and content creation all-on-one. Who needs GeForce MX anymore when you can have a GeForce RTX 4060 run at a low 60 W TGP? It may not perform as fast as dedicated gaming laptops with the exact same GPU, but it's still a significant upgrade from last year's GeForce RTX 3050 Ti.

Xgimi Mogo 2 Pro projector hands-on: Small improvements mixed with small gripes

Iterative success. The Mogo 2 Pro from Xgimi is the sequel to the company's budget-minded Mogo Pro. While there are no major upgrades this year, a number of small improvements add together for a significantly improved budget projector. However, there is one noticeable omission (in addition to smaller problems) that makes for an overall positive, if muted, improvement.

79% Khadas Mind workstation review: Can this portable mini PC with a battery and a Core i7-1360P replace a laptop?

Perfect multi-talent! Nowadays, the mini PC market is very saturated. But Khadas has announced a very interesting device: The Mind is supposed to massively widen mini PCs' range of uses. At the same time, the manufacturer has relied on in-house accessories which work together with the Khadas Mind and can supposedly replace a whole range of devices.

MSI Pulse 17 B13V gaming laptop review

86% MSI Pulse 17 B13V gaming laptop review: With quiet wings

No pulsating fans: The MSI Pulse 17 supplies a lot of power to the Intel Core i7 and RTX 4070 while still remaining fairly quiet. However, the connection equipment and screen are also important for a laptop, and the gaming laptop is unable to convince us in those regards.

Barely any better than the previous year: 2023 Dell XPS 13 Plus 9320 Core i7-1360P review

87% Barely any better than the previous year: 2023 Dell XPS 13 Plus 9320 Core i7-1360P review

Core i7-1360P vs. Core i7-1280P. Dell has updated its XPS 13 Plus 9320 this year with 13th gen Raptor Lake CPUs. Other than the name change, however, everything else remains essentially the same as on last year's Core i7-1280P configuration including even processor performance.

Casiris Tech Omnistar L80 hands-on review: 1080p projector stumbles across the finish line

Casiris Tech Omnistar L80 hands-on review: 1080p projector stumbles across the finish line

Misfiring on most cylinders. The Omnistar L80 is a new projector from Casiris. Billed as the "brightest LCD projector in the world," the Omnistar L80 is a competent projector with a bright, clear picture. However, several small missteps add up to an overall underwhelming package.

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D desktop CPU review: Faster than a Core i9-13900K thanks to 3D V-Cache and only 8 cores

The perfect gaming CPU? The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D features 8 cores and 16 threads, meaning it trails just behind the top-of-the-range models in terms of number of cores. But in our test, the 8-core component showed that it shouldn't be underestimated. In this review, we will be comparing its performance to its in-house competitors as well as its rivals from Intel.

Xiaomi Redmi A2

74% Xiaomi Redmi A2 review - Compromises in the cheap phone

Cheaper is hardly possible. The Xiaomi Redmi A2 is available on the Internet for well under 100 Euros. What can you expect from such a cheap smartphone? After all, the manufacturer promises regular updates and long runtimes. We take a closer look at the entry-level phone in our review.

Nokia G11 Plus

77% Nokia G11 Plus review - Good camera in a cheap 4G phone

Ups and downs. The Nokia G11 Plus is a small update of last year's Nokia G11 with a better camera, slightly larger screen and more modern software. But is the G11 Plus really better than its predecessor in all areas?

Dell Latitude 7440 laptop review: Beating the Latitude 9440 in some key areas

90% Dell Latitude 7440 laptop review: Beating the Latitude 9440 in some key areas

More traditional with less fuss. Unlike the over-the-top Latitude 9440, the Latitude 7440 sticks to tradition to be more down-to-earth and easier to use. The updated 16:10 aspect ratio is always welcomed, but a few features have been lost in the transition.

MSI Stealth 14 Studio review - An expensive gaming laptop that has made too many compromises

85% MSI Stealth 14 Studio review - An expensive gaming laptop that has made too many compromises

RTX 4050 for $1,699.99. The new MSI Stealth 14 Studio was presented at the beginning of this year and aside from targeting gamers, the device also aims to speak to users who are searching for great performance within a compact 14-inch case. The Core i7-13700H and GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop's performance has hit the mark, however, the laptop isn't without its flaws: its keyboard and short runtimes, to name a few.
