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.

Perfect for 1080p. Asus' TUF Gaming A15 delivers good gaming performance in 1080p thanks to its AMD Ryzen processor and GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop. Its 144-Hz IPS panel looks great, too. So, is this the perfect budget gamer?

Update to Raptor Lake. With the MateBook 16s, Huawei offers large multimedia laptops with Intel processors. Now in 2023, it includes the current Core i9 of the Raptor Lake H series and a brighter display. In our test, the premium laptop from China shows its many strengths and few weaknesses.

A solid launch. After a great deal of criticism was levelled at the mobile game Diablo Immortal (e.g. due to its gacha mechanics), many PC gamers were rather sceptical about the release of Diablo 4. But rest easy: the game makes hardly any blunder both technically and content-wise.

A slim gaming slate. Last year, the thin ROG Flow X16 was our first gaming laptop which came with a mini-LED display. Visually, nothing much has changed with the 2-in-1. However, the internals are slumbering somewhat with an Intel Raptor Lake and Geforce RTX 4060. What do these new changes mean? Read on as we explain all.

Back into the fold. Motorola have set out to finally bring foldables into the mainstream. The Razr+ has a new and improved folding mechanism, a huge cover screen - and it finally supports wireless charging.

Workstation Retest. A mobile workstation has to offer high performance in all aspects. We were correspondingly disappointed in the first test of the ThinkPad P16, whose RTX A2000 ran with a handbrake. The retest shows that this was probably a special feature of our first test device.

90 Hz 2.8K OLED still slaps. The popular Zenbook 14 is back this year with a new Ryzen 7 7000 U-series CPU, refreshed look, and the familiar 90 Hz DCI-P3 OLED touchscreen. Overall performance, however, is more in line with a midrange Ultrabook from yesteryear.

11-hour distance runner. The Aspire 5 scores points thanks to its powerful Raptor Lake processor, Thunderbolt 4 and amazing runtimes. Acer have equipped the laptop with a 14-inch touchscreen display (1,920 x 1,200 pixels) in a 16:10 format. An active stylus completes the setup.

RTX 4070 for content creators and gamers. Asus is relaunching the 14.5-inch Zenbook Pro and has equipped the fast multimedia notebook with a Raptor Lake Core i9-13900H and the new GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU. The 120 Hz OLED panel with 2.8K resolution is also new, but has a negative impact on battery life.
Intel Core i9-13900H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU | 14.50" | 1.7 kg

Simply more screen. With its second display, the Asus Zenbook Pro 14 Duo is a real looker, at least when it is opened. An RTX 4060 and Intel Core i9 ensure a high performance here. But the premium laptop also has its downsides, and the Zenbook isn't as mobile as other 14.5-inch laptops.

The Status Audio Between 3 ANC TWS earbuds are solid TWS earbuds that offer a well-balanced sound stage, a customizable sound profile, and excellent ANC. Thanks to the 6-mic array, the buds can not only cut noise via ANC but offer superior voice quality in phone calls.

All-rounder? The ThinkPad E14 G4 AMD offers very high performance at a low price and shines in almost every aspect: robust, a great keyboard with 1.8 mm travel, low emissions, a RAM slot as well as two SSD slots and an RJ45 port. On top of this is the quite fairly bright, matte IPS display. Marks deducted from the overall score stem from minor points of criticism.

4x M.2 SSDs + 4x SODIMM. The ZBook Fury 16 G9 is the first 16-inch mobile workstation in the Fury series. Though it comes equipped with plenty of features and even per-key RGB lighting, overall performance misses the mark by just a hair.
Intel Core i9-12950HX | NVIDIA RTX A5500 Laptop GPU | 16.00" | 2.6 kg

Small but mighty. Compact, inexpensive and with a whole range of features - this sums up the Amazfit GTS 4 Mini quite well. In our test, the smartwatch showed what it can do and everything it has to offer. Including a relatively bright AMOLED, accurate location services and all the usual sensors - the list is quite long.

Zen 3-ception. The Asus VivoBook 15X OLED M3504 is powered by an AMD Barcelo-R Ryzen 5 7530U APU, which is a re-refresh of the 2021 Zen 3 Cezanne architecture. Nevertheless, the VivoBook 15X continues to rely on the series' winning formula: adequate performance with OLED displays that do not punch a hole in the wallet.

Is more smartphone needed? The Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 5G packs a lot of features into its light plastic case. On top of a 120 Hz AMOLED screen, there is the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 SoC, a 48 MP camera with Samsung's ISOCELL JN1 as the image sensor, and a 5000 mAh battery with a 33 watt fast-charging power supply. However, the Android version raises questions.

Long distance runner. Asus have chosen AMD hardware - a Ryzen 9 7940HS and Radeon RX 7600S - to power the gaming laptop. A quick-reacting 16:10 16-inch screen (WUXGA, 165 Hz, FreeSync) and excellent runtimes complete the setup.

The vanilla model. As the most affordable model in Samsung's 2023 range of laptops, the Galaxy Book3 comes with a brand-new Intel CPU. In our review, both the Intel Core i5-1335U as well as the entire laptop itself demonstrate what they are capable of in a duel with Galaxy Book3 variants and other 15.6-inch laptops.

Double your OLED, double your fun. We've all seen the dual-screen Asus ZenBook and VivoBook laptops, but Lenovo is taking it one step further by replacing the keyboard and clickpad altogether with a 13.3-inch OLED touchscreen. It works for the most part if you can deal with the limited customization options.
Intel Core i7-1355U | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 96EUs | 13.30" | 1.6 kg

Consistent. Medion's QHD gaming laptop offers respectable performance (Core i7-13700HX, GeForce RTX 4060), good features (16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, 240-Hz panel, Thunderbolt 4) and decent runtimes. A "silent mode" makes quiet gaming possible.
Intel Core i7-13700HX | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU | 17.30" | 2.9 kg

Undelivered promises. A smart and light aluminum case, flawless build quality, a bright OLED display, reliable satellite connections and all currently for under $170. The Amazfit GTS 4 enjoys an impressive set of features. Unfortunately, it's a smartwatch that fails to keep all its promises.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 | Qualcomm Adreno 740 | 6.82" | 218 g

Tight 130 W USB-C power budget. The XPS 17 is one of the few laptops to offer GeForce RTX 4070 and RTX 4080 graphics options powered solely by a USB-C adapter. There are a few comprises for sure much like on previous models, but this latest iteration is as optimized as ever.
Intel Core i7-13700H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU | 17.00" | 2.5 kg

Anycubic is launching an upgrade to the popular Kobra this year. The new FDM printer retains the great strengths of its predecessor and further expands its usability. LeviQ 2.0 can provide a perfect first layer here.

The new midrange Zen 4. The flagship Ryzen 9 7945HX may be impressive, but what about the lesser Ryzen 7 7745HX? Zen 4 scales down pretty well to be both competitive and cheaper against the 13th gen Intel Core i7-13700HX.
AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU | 16.00" | 2.5 kg

Triple A. The VivoBook doesn't exactly come with the newest hardware (Alder Lake, Ampere), but it does score points for other reasons: The Asus laptop has a bright 16-inch screen (2,560 x 1,600 pixels) in 16:10 format which has a high refresh rate (120 Hz) and great color space coverage (DCI-P3).

Wasted performance! Minisforum's Venus series offers a lot of power in the smallest of footprints. We have already put the top model, aka the UM690, through its paces. Now we turn to the UM560 XT which is equipped with the Ryzen 5 5600H. Our review reveals how well the system fares. However, one thing is already clear: In terms of price and performance, the Minisforum Venus Series UM560 XT leads the pack.

It googles. Unlike the non-Pro variant, the Xgimi Horizon Pro has 4K capability and is sharper by some margin. It offers a whole host of convenience features that greatly simplify the user's theatre experience. In this hands-on review, we'll reveal how we went from being initially quite frustrated by the product (despite those features) to becoming very impressed by it.

Slim beauty. The Honor Magic5 Lite 5G does a lot better than its predecessor, but it still relies on the same Snapdragon 695 SoC that is still very common in this price range. Externally, the Magic5 Lite convinces with its slim build that also accommodates a large 5,100 mAh battery.

Tap into the sun's power on the go. PEARL offer a solar panel that weighs less than 1 kg and is about the size of a book when it is folded together - but is supposedly able to deliver 28 watts when folded open. You are supposed to be able to attach it to your backpack or bike or use it while you are camping, in order to use the sun's energy to charge your phone or power bank. We took the "on-the-go" panel with us on our bike tour from Berlin to Poland to see how well it works in practice.

Belt instead of a chain. The ADO Air isn't supposed to transport heavy goods or complete a bike tour around the mountains - the Air 20 is a hobby bike, a city speeder! This is thanks to its folding mechanism, belt drive, single-gear drive, seating position and relatively light weight. We have put the foldable speedster to the test.

Supports up to four M.2 NVMe SSDs. The Raptor X17 incorporates a brand new design with some of the fastest 13th gen Raptor Lake-H CPUs and Nvidia Ada Lovelace GPUs currently available on any laptop.

Solid FHD projector. The Xgimi Horizon is well-suited for most home theaters. The projector puts out a bright image, and its speakers are loud and clear. However, there are some shortcomings that bring its US$1100 price tag into question.

NUC but quiet! The Geekom Mini IT12 is an interesting alternative to the well-known Intel NUC models. The Taiwanese manufacturer has chosen a mobile Intel Alder Lake SoC. In this review, we took a closer look at what this mini PC can deliver, and whether it can live up to the class leader, Intel.

Slimmer isn't always better. Asus has completely reworked last year's Zenbook S13 OLED, and the new 2023 model has now become lighter and also slimmer. In addition, Asus has replaced the AMD chip with an Intel Raptor Lake processor, but that isn't really an advantage. In everyday operation, the two fans are also a problem.

Super-sized 16-inch 2-in-1. Most convertible laptops tend to be small to better accommodate tablet mode. However, some users may still prefer a larger touchscreen even if it means a heavier system. The 16-inch Lenovo Yoga 7 16 fulfills that niche quite well and at an affordable price, too.

The somewhat different "tabletop". Nvidia's new, more efficient RTX 40 generation makes it possible: the high-end graphics cards can be packed into ever smaller form factors. Asus takes this even further, simply installing an RTX 4060 in a 13-inch tablet instead of a 13-inch laptop. This comes with a magnetic keyboard, thus doubling it as a convertible. So can we play AAA games on tablets now?

Clevo in Gigabyte's clothing. Gigabyte's foray into the Indian market kicks off with the midrange G5 series. The G5 KE is based on a Clevo design and shares similar specs as the larger G7 KE including an Intel Core i5-12500H CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU, and a 144 Hz display. While the Gigabyte G5 KE gets most of the gaming basics right, buyers will have to contend with compromises in other areas.

Quiet gaming. The Stealth 17 is reluctant to ascend to the fps throne. It prefers to offer fast video editing, relaxing gaming sessions and brilliant images and tries to find the middle ground between a laptop for creators and gamers. The RTX 4080, an Intel Core i9-13900H as well as a 4K mini-LED display provide an excellent basis for this - if only it weren't for some minor flaws.

Small and silent! PCs don't always have to be big and bulky. Many mini PCs we have tested previously have proven this. The Higole PC Stick's manufacturer has taken this a step further by managing to fit the whole of the PC's hardware into a case reminiscent of an oversized USB stick. We took a closer look at the device and what its Intel Celeron J4125 is capable of.

Gone with the wind. Gaming in 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratio can be very impressive. When working, placing several windows side by side can be handy. So far, there have been mostly suboptimal VA panels and some more expensive IPS representatives. Philips, on the other hand, sends a curved OLED with fast response times, 175 Hz and potentially great colors into the race. We test whether it is worth it for gamers and productive users.
