Overpromised? With its 1-inch image sensor and its dual-aperture Zeiss Tessar optics, the Sony Xperia Pro-I is closer to a camera disguised as a smartphone than a traditional phone. However, the data sheet somewhat covers up the drawbacks of the Pro-I ...
Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G | Qualcomm Adreno 660 | 6.50" | 211 g

Upgraded. The Xiaomi 12 Pro not only comes with a new design, but also an entirely revamped camera setup with three highly capable 50-MP sensors. Additionally, there are a lot of modern high-end features. In this review we will explore why there is still room for improvements.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 | Qualcomm Adreno 730 | 6.73" | 204 g

Be best with BMax. $500 USD isn't a lot for a laptop these days unless if you're willing to settle for cheap designs and slower Celeron-level performance. The BMax X14 Pro bucks the trend with its sleek profile and reasonably fast AMD Ryzen 5 CPU, but it's not without its own unique drawbacks as well.
AMD Ryzen 5 3450U | AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 (Ryzen 2000/3000) | 14.00" | 1.4 kg

Outdated concept? HP’s ZBook Fury 17 G8 is a conventional mobile workstation with powerful components. You also get a high-quality 4K Dream Color display, so the ZBook should be a good choice for content creators.
Intel Core i9-11950H | NVIDIA RTX A3000 Laptop GPU | 17.30" | 2.9 kg

Versatile. The ExpertBook offers a 5G modem, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, and a 14-inch touchscreen display (1920x1200 pixels) with a 16:10 aspect ratio. The touchscreen can be used both through touch input and with the included Asus Pen.

The right combination was chosen here. The Acer Swift 3 is a laptop for the masses: It's affordable, solidly built, it handles its performance well, it's highly portable, it has good input devices, and a great display. Instead of a card reader, there's Thunderbolt 4 - what else could you ask for?
Intel Core i5-1135G7 | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 80EUs | 14.00" | 1.2 kg

Compact and silent, but at what cost? The Celeron J4125 may be getting a bit old, but its low power requirements can allow for both a slimmer chassis profile and fanless design to be attractive for HTPC users. Unfortunately, performance isn't where we would like it to be even for undemanding HTPC loads.
Intel Celeron J4125 | Intel UHD Graphics 600 | 410 g

Shrunken battery. Even though the Samsung Galaxy M32 is more expensive than its predecessor, it only offers a smaller battery and doesn't support 5G. Is the Samsung smartphone still up to date with this equipment for the 300+ Euros (~345) asking price?
Mediatek Helio G80 | ARM Mali-G52 MP2 | 6.40" | 180 g

Solid. Lenovo's 15.6-incher has a Tiger Lake processor on board, barely heats up, and only emits little noise. Windows 10 Home in S mode serves as the operating system (upgrading to Windows 11 is possible). The retail price is 399 Euros (~$456).
Intel Core i3-1115G4 | Intel UHD Graphics Xe G4 48EUs | 15.60" | 1.7 kg

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X | AMD Radeon RX 6800 | 32.00"

Xbox controllers and their replicas from third-party manufacturers have established themselves as one of the best gamepad solutions for the PC. The Razer Wolverine V2 gives the gamepad a professional touch with no less than 6 additional buttons and changeable stickpads. But are the basics convincing enough? Is this fully loaded, 160 Euro gaming device still as good as the original?

A bit late. The community smartphone is supposed to combine the most popular features of the Galaxy S series with a strong price-performance ratio. Among other things, the S21 FE aims to get fans' hearts racing with a strong performance, extensive video features, a fantastic display, and an IP certification.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G | Qualcomm Adreno 660 | 6.40" | 177 g

Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G 5G | Qualcomm Adreno 619 | 6.30" | 225 g

Retro. The Lifebook A3510 produces relatively low emissions, does not have a lot of weight (1.8 kg, ~4 lb) and also includes a DVD drive onboard.

With Wi-Fi control and a Touchscreen the Longer RAY5 is almost an unicum among laser engravers. Thus, the CNC laser can impress with a particularly easy handling. Only 5 watts of optical power are enough to produce good results on many materials.

Finally with stable Wi-Fi. Compared to last year, Samsung hasn't changed much in the Galaxy A03s. The very affordable phone at least comes with more stable Wi-Fi, which was one of our biggest points of criticism with the predecessor. Is the Galaxy A03s worth it or is it too expensive for 160 Euros?

Following Huawei's paths. Two years after the introduction of the Redmi Note 8, Xiaomi brings a new version of its bestselling smartphone. However, the Note 8 2021 turns out to be a very modest model update with some technical adjustments that are at times questionable not only on its data sheet.

Strong middle class. A lot of performance, 120 Hz display and a chic design in the style of the Apple iPad Air: The 11-inch Xiaomi Pad 5 offers all that for 400 Euros (~$450) and is thus an interesting alternative to the Apple iPad 2021, which is one of the best tablets in this price range. We will find out whether the Pad 5 can really compete with the Apple rival in our review.

Not cheap, but well-priced. Acer’s 14-inch laptop scores some major points thanks to its great battery life, silent operation, keyboard backlight and matte IPS screen. The quad-core Pentium Silver N6000 performs about as well as a Skylake chip. Windows is not included. The whole package costs 279 Euros (~$315).
Intel Pentium Silver N6000 | Intel UHD Graphics (Jasper Lake 32 EU) | 14.00" | 1.3 kg

Just 1.1 kg with AMOLED display. Samsung's flagship 15.6-inch laptop is several hundred grams lighter than the popular Dell XPS 15, HP Spectre x360 15, and most other laptops of its size class for that matter. Do performance and battery life suffer as a consequence?
Intel Core i7-1165G7 | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 96EUs | 15.60" | 1.1 kg

Lighter than its competitors and with less than 30 minutes needed to go from completely depleted to fully loaded, the ElecJet Apollo Ultra is a 10,000 mAh power bank that sets the bar very high. Today, we will take a close look at it and see if there's enough in it to justify the US$99 MSRP.

Finally on par with Samsung even without the "Mi". One of the most interesting new features of the 11T lineup is found off the spec sheet - namely in the relatively long software support. That said, the hardware built into the high-end phone also impressed us in the test...
Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G | Qualcomm Adreno 660 | 6.67" | 204 g

Leopard in attack mode. If you want a proper gaming laptop with an RTX 3080 and Core i7, then this has to be a high-end model, right? Wait, you want it to cost less than 2,000 Euros? So, here we go, the 15-inch Leopard from MSI joins the battle! But can it live up to its potential? We put the budget gamer with high-end hardware through its paces and elicit all its weaknesses, which it should surely have in abundance at this price.

Large laptop with filigree details A 400 cd/m² bright OLED display as well as strong hardware from Nvidia and AMD make the 16-inch Vivobook an attractive laptop together with the valuable aluminum casing. However, the tested pre-production device could only almost show a production-ready performance in the test.
AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU | 16.10" | 1.9 kg

Battery change! The Gigaset GS5 retains an old virtue this year — the removable battery — but adds a newer SoC, more memory, and a more promising camera setup. In return, it is more expensive and the power adapter is removed from the package.
Mediatek Helio G85 | ARM Mali-G52 MP2 | 6.30" | 210 g

The return of Master Chief. After years of anticipation, Halo Infinite is finally out. We conducted our performance analysis to determine the system requirements.

Great performance per dollar. The IdeaPad 3 15 is a budget system that doesn't skimp on performance even when compared to a Core i7 in certain conditions. Though it feels fast for the price, the limited color space of the display and lack of some USB-C features can be disappointing.
