Fujitsu LifeBook E5412A laptop review

82% Fujitsu LifeBook E5412A laptop review: A classic business laptop with two RAM slots

LifeBook E series, now with AMD. Classic business laptops are a dying breed but the compact Fujitsu LifeBook E5412A is rushing to help; with two RAM slots, long key travel, AMD power, RJ45, easy servicing and long battery life. However, the Japanese manufacturer has made a clear faux pas, especially when it comes to the laptop's $850 price tag.

The XPS convertible for business users: Dell Latitude 9440 2-in-1 review

88% The XPS convertible for business users: Dell Latitude 9440 2-in-1 review

XPS-inspired keyboard and clickpad. The Latitude 9440 2-in-1 represents the biggest and perhaps riskiest change in the Latitude 9000 series to date. Some of the design choices are definitely nice to see from a visual perspective, but others can feel like a step backwards.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G11 review - The stagnating, expensive business flagship

89% Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G11 review - The stagnating, expensive business flagship

New processor, same performance. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon G11 is only a small update with a current Intel Raptor Lake processor that barely offers additional power plus the standard built-in, low-power display is getting on a bit now. So, is the high price justified?

84% Dell G15 5530 Review: A viable Alienware alternative now with Raptor Lake-HX

Performant earthling. The Dell G15 5530 now offers Intel Raptor Lake-HX options and positions itself as a capable upper mid-range gaming laptop. While the Core i7-13650HX and RTX 4060 combo augurs well for 1080p Ultra gaming, the G15 5530 has to contend with several compromises in order to keep the price competitive and distinguish itself from its premium Alienware brethren.

Raspberry-Pi alternative Zimaboard in hands-on: Versatile X86 single board all-rounder invites you to try and learn

Raspberry-Pi alternative Zimaboard in hands-on: Versatile X86 single board all-rounder invites you to try and learn

Home server made easy. A Raspberry Pi is now too mainstream, too expensive, too underpowered, too complicated, too bare without a heatsink and case? Raise the curtain on the Zimaboard, an all-in-one alternative with two LAN and SATA ports and even a PCIe slot, fully configurable, with a stronger X86 instead of an ARM processor and almost unlimited expandability. With this, it wants to conquer the maker, DIY and consumer hearts.

In addition to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, a new camera sensor, and a real optical zoom, the Xperia 1 Mark V offers many equipment characteristics that aren't offered by any other flagship smartphone.

86% Huawei Mate X3 review - Slim foldable smartphone with strong camera

No bargain. With the Mate X3, Huawei offers its latest foldable. The concept has been completely revised and the foldable display has now been moved inside as well. In addition, there is a lot of storage, a fast SoC, and a convincing camera setup. However, it is only recommendable for very few due to the known limitations.

88% Intel Core i9-13900HK performance debut: Alienware x16 R1 laptop review

175 W RTX graphics and barely 19 mm thick. Alienware laptops have traditionally been larger and heavier than alternatives from MSI, Asus, or Razer, but Dell wants to prove that an Alienware laptop can still be thin and just as powerful with the latest Alienware x16 R1. It certainly doesn't disappoint at least when it comes to graphics.

Perfect Windows ultrabook?! The new MateBook X Pro comes in the familiar 2022 design but can offer a bit more computing power with a new Intel Core i7-1360P.

Playing the big guy. The entry-level gaming laptop is well-equipped with its Intel Core i5-12500H and RTX 4050 and can run current games at Full HD really well. So far, so unsurprising. But: In quiet mode, the performance hardly drops and the noise levels remain remarkably low.

Expensive high-end fun. The top model of the Legion Pro 7 is designed for maximum performance. Core i9-13900HX and GeForce RTX 4090 promise smooth frame rates on the internal WQXGA display even in demanding games. We put the 16-inch device through our test course.

On top of this is the quite fairly bright, matte IPS display. Marks deducted from the overall score stem from minor points of criticism.

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.

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.

Gaming ultrabook. Lenovo is offering its new Yoga Pro 7 14 with the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU and a matte 3K display with 120 Hz and P3 color space coverage. This turns the compact 14-inch device into a powerful multimedia device that can also run the latest games.

82% Minisforum Venus Series NAB6 review: The sleek mini PC with a fast Intel Core i7-12650H and active SSD cooling!

Well cooled is half done! Minisforum have extended their Venus series portfolio with the release of the sleek mini PC NAB6. Based on an Intel Core i7-12650H, the NAB6 is well-prepared for many different uses. Its price is okay, but a few compromises will likely have to be made. Which compromises these are exactly will be discussed in our detailed review.

Motorola Moto G73 5G

83% Motorola Moto G73 5G review - Brilliant despite its lacklustre display?

Everyday workhorse. A 120Hz screen, solid performance, long battery life, a 50MP camera and a stylish design – on paper, the Motorola Moto G73 5G has everything a good mid-tier smartphone needs. For slightly under €300 (US$330), you are also getting an almost stock Android 13 and plenty of storage. As you'll see in our review, however, the 6.5-inch device doesn’t always do everything better than its predecessor.

The Gigabyte Aero 14 OLED BMF

89% Gigabyte Aero 14 OLED BMF laptop review: Compact studio notebook with true color display

Fast and fabulous. For a 14-inch notebook, the Gigabyte Aero 14 OLED BMF has a lot to offer. The powerful screen is already included in the name. With a Core i7 and a Nvidia RTX 4050, strong performance is guaranteed. But the internals are not the only selling point of the 14-incher, which also offers an impressive keyboard with a decent travel.

Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 laptop review: A hefty US$1600 for the GeForce RTX 4060

88% Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 laptop review: A hefty US$1600 for the GeForce RTX 4060

140 W TGP graphics. The Legion Pro 5 series is home to Lenovo's midrange gaming laptops, but our expectations are nonetheless high considering the lofty starting price of over $1400 USD for just the RTX 4050. The model impresses on most fronts so long as you can live with some notable drawbacks.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor review: Laptop and desktop benchmarks

Star Wars Jedi Survivor review: Laptop and desktop benchmarks

Moderate condition for an otherwise good game. Publisher EA have not made it easy for themselves in the past years - as blunders in the form of Pay to Win in Fifa or Jedi Survivor's bad performance in combination with high hardware requirements have shown. Which graphics card do you need in order to have fluid lightsaber battles?

Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 16 review: Office laptop with Core-i5 power and a long battery life

86% Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 16 review: Office laptop with Core-i5 power and a long battery life

Imbalanced. Despite the 16-inch format, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 16 can be considered a mobile laptop because of its compact size, low weight, and very good battery life. In addition, it offers an AMOLED display in the work-friendly 16:10 format (2,880 x 1,800 pixels) and a powerful Core i5 processor.
