Motorola Edge 30 Ultra review: The first smartphone with a 200 MP camera

89% Motorola Edge 30 Ultra review: The first smartphone with a 200 MP camera

High-end again at last. Motorola has unleashed a potential bargain in the high-end segment in the Edge 30 Ultra: a 200 MP triple camera, fast SoC, strong battery, good update supply, and all that for less than US$ 900. What could possibly go wrong?

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 smartphone review

90% Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 5G review - Improved foldable smartphone shatters dreams of foldables

Samsung's foldable lacks courage and competitors. With more robustness, Galaxy Z Fold in its fourth generation aims to be more suitable for everyday operation. While the Fold 4 is a solid upgrade with its brighter dynamic AMOLED panel, the camera of the Galaxy S22+, and the Snapdragon 8+ Gen1, it remains behind expectations.

Alienware x15 R2 review

88% Alienware x15 R2 Laptop Review: Ultrabook-like UFO soars with Core i9-12900H and 140 W RTX 3080 Ti

E.T. says Hi! Dell has refreshed the Alienware x15 lineup with the new x15 R2. This year's x15 R2 offers internal upgrades to Intel Alder Lake-H and Nvidia RTX 30 Series Ti GPUs while retaining much of the design as the previous generation. The Alienware x15 R2 finds enough room to flex its muscles despite the thin chassis and will definitely appeal to the enthusiast gamer, but there are a few areas of concern to be aware of.

Superb CPU performance for ~$450 USD. The SER5 Pro continues the streak of affordable HTPCs from Beelink all designed to be cheaper alternatives to the Intel NUC series.

Premium problem case. A high quality, a high performance, and even relatively efficient with current AMD Ryzen CPUs and Radeon graphics - what could possibly go wrong? Quite a lot, actually. But it was really only one problem with the Lenovo ThinkPad Z16 G1, that created difficulties for our test evaluation.

Lots of small changes that add up. The 2022 Envy x360 15 may look a lot like the 2021 model, but all the under-the-hood upgrades help make it a much better system. Users are getting additional ports, a higher resolution webcam, a faster Zen 3 processor, and more.

Long lasting. The TravelMate offers a Core i7 processor (Tiger Lake), 16 GB of RAM and excellent battery life. Acer has made a great decision to use a 14-inch display with a work-friendly 16:10 aspect ratio (1,920 x 1,200 pixels) and provide a three-year warranty on the device in Germany (two years in the US).

RTX 3070 Ti for 4,000 Euro? MSI wants consumers to fork out over 4,000 Euro (US$3,875) for its Creator Z17. But what makes the laptop so special for creatives that justifies the price? The Core i9-12900H and RTX 3070 Ti don't deliver the full answer. So let us examine this question in our in-depth review.

Many innovations and a lot of power! Almost two years after the release of the Ryzen 5000 processors, AMD now unleashes its current line-up aka Raphael with a modern Zen 4 architecture into the race for the performance crown of the fastest CPU. Intel's Core i9-12900K often only sees the taillights with second-fastest model in our review, the Ryzen 9 7900X.

Lenovo has completely redesigned the popular ThinkPad T14 G3 business notebook and deploys a new case together with a 16:10 display, but the keyboard is once again slightly inferior.

The most affordable Pixel. The small, 6.1-inch Google Pixel 6a is very fast and offers perhaps the best cameras in the smartphone mid-range. In addition, it scores with a bright AMOLED display, a good battery life, and a long period of updates. However, particularly the display of the Android 13 smartphone might cause some mixed feelings, as our test shows.

Packing both vacuum cleaning and mopping capabilities, the Yeedi Vac Max looks great in white and gets the job done well in most scenarios. With a price of less than US$300 and affordable consumables (edge brush, sponge filter, main brush, mop pad), this is a good choice for (semi-) automated house cleaning.

Untapped potential. On paper, the Aspire 5 A515-57G is a very interesting laptop. For instance, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2050 is a rather uncommon graphics card. However, Acer messed up an otherwise good idea through unnecessary blunders and conscious cost-cutting measures.

Auspicious power is not the case with the HP Omen 17. The gaming laptop fully utilizes its potential regarding the TDP and TGP of the Intel Core i7 12700H and the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti. But gamers can also do things differently: if energy-saving settings are set correctly, the energy-hungry gamer becomes a meek, lamb-like laptop with a useful battery life.

Socket AM4's last lap. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D is the company's first attempt at a mainstream desktop CPU that leverages 3D V-cache technology. 3D V-cache provides AMD with a shot in the arm in gaming enabling it to beat even the Intel Core i9-12900K without clock or TDP increases. However, its current implementation results in several deficiencies that narrow the Ryzen 7 5800X3D's use cases.

90% 2022 HP Spectre x360 13.5 review: The pinnacle subnotebook convertible

For pros on the go. Last year's Spectre x360 14 was one of the best convertible laptops in its size category. This year's refresh addresses many of the shortcomings of its older sibling to be an easy recommendation for the hybrid work-at-home and office lifestyles.

GEEKOM MiniAir 11 Hands-on Review

GEEKOM MiniAir 11 Hands-on Review

Low profile, low power, low cost. The GEEKOM MiniAir 11 is tiny, even by mini PC standards. Despite its small package, it is a competent PC for basic home and work tasks.

Test Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 7

Xiaomi Smart Band 7 review - Good fitness band with wasted potential & uncertainties

Conclusion after 6 weeks of use. The Smart Band 7 is very similar to the Smart Band 6 at first glance. However, the AMOLED display grows considerably in the current fitness tracker generation and also has an always-on function. However, the Xiaomi Mi Band 7 still lacks an important feature for athletes.

Dell XPS 13 Plus laptop review: Is the base configuration the best choice?

86% Dell XPS 13 Plus laptop review: Is the base configuration the best choice?

A Plus for performance. Not only does the Dell XPS 13 Plus have a touch bar and a completely new keyboard, but it also offers more performance than the base XPS version thanks to Alder Lake P. We review Dell's entry into the high-performance XPS world through our test unit equipped with a Core i5, 512 GB, and a Sharp Full HD display.

AGM Glory G1S

80% AGM Glory G1S review - Versatile rugged smartphone with 5G

Outdoor phone with superpowers. The AGM Glory G1S can see in the dark, play with cats, dive, and detects cold bridges in walls. This is made possible by special components that also make the outdoor smartphone heavy and bulky. Is the AGM Phone only a special tool, or can it also be used in everyday life?

Honor Magic4 Lite 5G review: Smartphone with big display and strong battery

79% Honor Magic4 Lite 5G review: Smartphone with big display and strong battery

It's a kind of magic. Magic represents Honor's top league of smartphones. Lite, on the other hand, is an indicator of slimmed-down hardware. The Honor Magic4 Lite 5G thus falls in the middle between two poles. 120 Hz refresh rate, but only an LC display. Triple camera, but neither wide-angle nor telephoto lens. Magic or Lite? Read our review to find out.

Tronsmart Onyx Ace Pro TWS hands-on: A basic and affordable AirPods alternative

The Tronsmart Onyx Ace Pro is an affordable AirPods alternative with Gaming Mode and impressive autonomy, as well as Siri, Cortana, and Google Assistant support. The 13 mm drivers and Qualcomm aptX support are also great in theory, but real-world usage might come with a few surprises.

Dynabook Portégé X40-K review: Premium laptop with a budget display

84% Dynabook Portégé X40-K review: Premium laptop with a budget display

A Dynabook dinosaur? The Portege X40-K is the company's premium business laptop retailing for over $1400 USD and yet it comes with a display that's found on budget laptops for almost half the price. The model could certainly use more updates beyond just the new 12th gen CPU.

Apple MacBook Air M2 review - The faster 10-core GPU isn't worth it

92% Apple MacBook Air M2 review - The faster 10-core GPU isn't worth it

The expensive Air has to throttle earlier. After we tested the basic model, we now also got our hands on the faster version of the new MacBook Air with 16 GB of RAM, a large 1-TB SSD, and the faster 10-core GPU version of the M2 and ran it through our tests. However, the graphics update is particularly disappointing, since the passively cooled MacBook Air M2 needs to throttle its performance quickly.
