Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 gaming laptop — Notebookcheck review

87% Predator Helios Neo 16 laptop review: Acer has created a gaming chimera

Mid-range gamer with an entry-level GPU. The gaming laptop Predator Helios Neo 16 from Acer is supposedly a cheaper alternative to the regular Helios 16, while still offering a variety of mid-range features, such as an extremely robust and sleek case, lots of connectivity options, a desktop-class CPU, as well as a powerful cooling system which makes use of liquid metal.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 Laptop Review: Virtual machine beast with CPU trouble

89% Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 Laptop Review: Virtual machine beast with CPU trouble

Lightweight 64 GB RAM. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G11 is the first model of this line with up to 64 GB of RAM. To get this amount of RAM, users have to buy a version with the most powerful P28-CPU, the i7-1370P. Unfortunately, as our review shows, this CPU is ill-suited for this elegant business laptop.

82% Ryzen 5 5560U performance debut: Beelink SER5 mini PC review

Intel NUC performance without the NUC price. The Ryzen 5560U may be a couple years old, but it performs so similarly to the new Ryzen 5 7530U that most users would be unable to tell the difference especially for basic HTPC purposes. The SER5 is quite the bargain for just $230 USD complete with Windows 11.

87% Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 review: Foldable high-end smartphone with cosmetic flaw

Almost perfect. With the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, up to 16 GB of RAM and a 6x camera, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 clearly belongs to the high-end smartphone class, but is still comparatively well-priced. Officially, the 8.03-inch AMOLED foldable is reserved for the Chinese market, which also affects mobile phone coverage. Our review clarifies whether an import purchase is worth it.

Debut for Apple's M3 SoC. Apple launched its new MacBook Pro models and the old MacBook Pro 13 is not longer available. Instead, there is a new entry-level model of the MacBook Pro 14 with the base M3-SoC and 8 GB RAM for $1599. However, there are some compromises, especially in terms of connectivity as well as the cooling performance.

Finally USB, but only slow. Not only does the iPhone 15 Plus offer a large display, but it also gets the Dynamic Island for the first time this year. In addition, there is a higher resolution main camera, a slightly more powerful battery, more computing power, and USB-C. All that, Apple tops with a slightly lower price than last year.

Robust Rolex replacement. The bulky Oukitel WP30 Pro is also suitable for very difficult environments, lasts for a long time, and can even see in the dark with its camera. Another special feature is the second touchscreen on the back. Is the outdoor phone just unusual or also usable in everyday life?

We've already reviewed the current ThinkPad T14s G4 with the Intel processor and high-resolution OLED panel, and now we have the AMD model with the Ryzen 7 7840U and low-power IPS display.

Acer Predator BiFrost Arc A770 OC desktop graphics card review - How does Intel's most powerful gaming card with 16 GB VRAM perform?

A good alternative? The two big players, Nvidia and AMD, often represent the first choice in the gaming industry. But for about a year now, Intel also has been playing a role in the area of the dedicated desktop GPUs. In this review, we evaluate the performance capabilities of the Acer Predator BiFrost Arc A770 OC on the basis of the current drivers. With 16 GB of VRAM, Intel isn't stingy, and their price also makes the models of the Arc series very attractive.

Its updated cyber-chic chassis is rated for output and input wattages of 140W each, and to support bi-directional charging on top of that. Can its real-world performance match its Kickstarter hype?

Is AMD's Cezanne still fast enough? Design-wise, the Geekom A5 is similar to the well-known Intel NUC mini PCs which are nowadays marketed by Asus. Although an 8-core, 16-thread AMD Ryzen 7 5800H is at work under the hood, the SoC no longer belongs to the newest models on the market.
