Samsung Galaxy M33

81% Samsung Galaxy M33 5G smartphone review - Is 120 Hz enough in a mid-range phone?

AMOLED was yesterday. Unlike the predecessor and most other phones in its price range, Samsung's Galaxy M33 has a fast screen, but it is not based on AMOLED technology. Read our review to find out whether the mid-range phone can still convince.

Apple MacBook Air M2 Entry Review – A very good, but too expensive daily MacBook

92% Apple MacBook Air M2 Entry Review – A very good, but too expensive daily MacBook

The M2 is not as efficient as the M1. After almost two years, the MacBook Air M1 finally gets a successor that is specifically designed for Apple’s own silicon. The new Air with the M2 CPU also comes with a much steeper price, because the entry-level unit with 8 GB RAM and a meager 256 GB SSD starts for $1299. Is the price justified?

Zotac ZBOX PI336 pico review: A pocket PC with Intel Celeron N6211 and 4 GB of RAM

Silent Mini PC! Under the label ZBOX PI336 pico, Zotac markets very compact desktop PCs that can easily fit in your pant pocket. However, the current model based on an Elkhart Lake SOC is not always convincing. Find out in this review with numerous benchmarks what the Zotac ZBOX PI336 pico with the Intel Celeron N6211 is able to do.

Xgimi Aura

Hands-On Xgimi Aura Projector - Inexpensive laser TV with Android and good features

The Xgimi Aura laser TV could be an interesting solution for those who find a normal TV too boring, or who simply want image diagonals of up to 120 inches at an affordable price. The short-throw projector shows what it can do in our first impression.

Nothing Phone (1)

86% Review: Nothing Phone (1) – transparent designer piece at mid-range price

Is (it) cool enough? The former director of OnePlus is once again making a smartphone. This is of course going to make people take notice. The Nothing Phone (1) sets out to do many things differently and already looks quite cool with the LEDs on its rear. But at 500 Euros (£449), is it able to impress us during our review?

Lots of talent - with ifs and buts. Schenker advertises the new XMG Pro 15 with a powerful RTX 3080 Ti as an all-round talent for gamers and workstation users. Powerful hardware meets a new Clevo case, which is intended to improve on the weaknesses of the predecessor. Whether this succeeds is revealed in our detailed review below.

Motorola Moto G42 smartphone review: OLED lightweight with 700 nits at a bargain price

81% Motorola Moto G42 smartphone review: OLED lightweight with 700 nits at a bargain price

Affordable and good. The Motorola Moto G42 is impossible to beat, at least from the perspective of its mid-range rivals. With its bright OLED panel, a 5,000 mAh battery, and a 50 MP camera, the 6.4-inch smartphone offers a lot of features, but it's available for just under 200 Euros (~$205).

Magnesium, Aluminum, or Carbon fiber options. For most laptop families, OEMs simply offer just one material option such as magnesium alloy or carbon fiber a la the HP Spectre or the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon, respectively. The Latitude 7330 wants to do it all by giving users the option to choose between three different materials.

The new 100W charger.

UGREEN 100W 4-Port Desktop Fast Charger Review

One of UGREEN’s latest power accessories is intended for use as a desktop station. It has 4 ports, 2 of which are USB type C and rated for up to 100W Power Delivery each. Therefore, it should work as a charger for some ultrabooks, even MacBook Pros. How does it do in everyday-style testing?

85% Schenker XMG Pro 17 E22 review: Gaming laptop with RTX 3080 Ti delivers the goods

Exhilarating. The Intel Core i9-12900H, which is already powerful on its own, is not only supported by Nvidia's premium graphics card. The extensive connectivity and a very distinct cooling system also indicate that the laptop is striving for the highest performance. However, Schenker probably has another reason for calling the laptop a gaming workstation, and this also became noticeable in our review.

Intel Alder Lake with the brakes applied. Until now, the MateBook D 16 has always been an affordable multimedia laptop with AMD CPUs, but the new 2022 model uses an Alder Lake processor from Intel. However, this only runs with the brakes applied, and the price has also increased to 1299 Euros (~$1311).

Lenovo Tab M10 Plus (Gen 3) tablet review

83% Lenovo Tab M10 Plus 2022 (Gen 3) review: Affordable tablet with 2K display and stylus support

No brainer for under 250 Euros? Due to its strong features and three-year update policy, the Tab M10 Plus has the potential to become a real bestseller, but only when the price drops. This might sound paradoxical for such a low-priced tablet with stylus support, but there's a reason for it.

90% Razer Blade 17 (Early 2022) review: Elegant 4k gaming laptop with a bright screen

Dull or sharp? A Core i9-12900H and GeForce RTX 3080 Ti provide sufficient performance for 4k gaming, video processing, and rendering. The matte 4k display (IPS, 144 Hz) scores with a good color reproduction and high brightness. Our test shows what else the new Blade 17 in the high-end configuration can do.

Intel 12th gen for only $550 USD. You don't have to spend four digits just to experience the latest generation of Intel processors. The 2022 Gateway Ultra Slim comes with a 12th gen Intel CPU that rivals the popular Core i7-1165G7 for nearly half the price.

Almost a ZenBook. Despite being "only" a Vivobook, the Vivobook S 14X uses the same 14.5-inch Samsung OLED panel as the Zenbook Pro 14 Duo for a similar viewing experience at a much cheaper price. If you're looking to spend just under $1000 USD on an Ultrabook, then this Asus can offer a lot for the money.

Who needs GeForce MX anymore? The Zenbook Flip 15 is back with 12th gen Intel Core H CPUs and the new Intel Arc A370M GPU to replace last year's Core U options and the GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q, respectively. While CPU performance is insanely fast for a convertible, perhaps the GeForce MX550 would have been the better move.

Fast, noisy, and powerful. Schenker combines a socketed Ryzen 9-5900X CPU with a GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. This results in a powerful laptop that strikes a good figure in the areas of gaming, video processing, and rendering. However, a long battery life, quiet operation, and low power consumption shouldn't be too important for potential buyers here.

Testing the MSI Katana GF66 12UGS
