It's fewer than 20 days until Christmas Eve, and last-minute shopping will probably be tricky this year as well because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the parts shortages. The Spherebot can help to make some presents. It is a DIY project for less than US$50 that will turn ordinary Christmas tree baubles into personalized ornaments.

Cheap power bar. Motorola's Moto E20 offers good performance and a low weight for less than 100 Euros. On the other hand, you have to make concessions in areas such as battery life. Is the inexpensive smartphone really worth it?

Nvidia RTX A5000 with 155 watts. MSI introduces the WE76, a powerful mobile workstation that is based on the GE76 gaming laptop. Besides a professional RTX GPU from Nvidia, the WE76 also impresses with a very good keyboard and a matte 4K display.
Intel Core i9-11980HK | NVIDIA RTX A5000 Laptop GPU | 17.30" | 2.9 kg

Notch, no thanks. The Mix 4 is the first smartphone from Xiaomi with a front camera under the display. The glass and ceramics clad 6.67-inch smartphone offers additional purchase arguments with its high-end Snapdragon 888+ SoC, up to 12 GB of RAM, an AMOLED panel, and a triple-camera system with 108 MP. In addition, there is also quick charging at 120 watts, recharging the battery in less than 30 minutes.

More power with less power. Qualcomm presented the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 at this year's Snapdragon Tech Summit, its new high-end SoC for smartphones and tablets. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is Qualcomm's first chipset manufactured on a 4 nm process and relies on a completely redesigned GPU from the Adreno 700 series. Still, the youngest dragon does not show improvements in all areas.

High TDP comes at the expense of noise. With the Erazer Deputy P25, Medion offers a relatively low-priced gaming laptop. The 15-incher includes a Ryzen 7 5800H and a GeForce RTX 3060 for just under 1,250 Euros (~$1,414). Read our review to find out whether the overall package delivers a compelling performance.

Intel Core i7-1165G7 | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 96EUs | 14.00" | 1.8 kg

The laptop for designers? Asus launches the ProArt Studiobook W7600, the world's first notebook equipped with a 16-inch 4K OLED HDR display. In addition, it is not only compact and relatively light, but is also supposed to convince with big performance figures. The device also has an additional feature that is supposed to benefit creative workers and designers.
Intel Xeon W-11955M | NVIDIA RTX A5000 Laptop GPU | 16.00" | 2.4 kg

Mobile creative center - that is what Dell would probably like to call this convertible. While the bright 4K touchscreen with stylus support makes for a compelling argument, our measurements have unfortunately uncovered its weaknesses. The Intel Core i7 combined with 16 GB of fast RAM should result in good performance if it were not for the TDP woes.
Intel Core i7-1165G7 | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 96EUs | 13.30" | 1.4 kg

Good expansion options. With the ThinkPad L15 G2, you can combine the high quality of Lenovo's business laptops with affordable hardware. This results in a powerful and robust device for less than 600 Euros (~$680) that shows what it can do in our test.

Tablet with Finnish finesse? The Nokia T20 is inexpensive, available with LTE on request, and looks good. Thus, it would be ideal for home schooling, video conferencing or just everyday life at home. But is the first attempt at a Nokia tablet a success? Or should we rather look at more established manufacturers?
UNISOC T610 | ARM Mali-G52 MP2 | 10.40" | 470 g

3-fan behemoth. MSI dares to fight for the creative crown of the 16-inch superstars. Creatives are supposed to achieve results in the shortest time with high performance. The idea is essentially successful, but the details are slightly lacking, which makes the Z16 miss the mark of Very Good.
Intel Core i7-11800H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU | 16.00" | 2.2 kg

Decent Core i3 substitute. Intel's latest 10 nm Celeron CPU is making strides when it comes to overall processor performance. Multi-thread performance in particular rivals the Core i3-1005G1, but the integrated GPU remains disappointing.
Intel Celeron N5095 | Intel UHD Graphics (Jasper Lake 16 EU) | 329 g

Hot iron. Wait a minute, another m15? Yes, after the m15 R5 with a Ryzen processor now comes the m15 R6 with an Intel CPU, which brings the usual advantages and disadvantages (keyword Thunderbolt). Of course, the new Tiger Lake processor is more efficient and also faster than the Comet Lake predecessor in the R4, but Dell applies the emergency brakes in the 3D performance, and the R4 also still has something to say here.
Intel Core i7-11800H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU | 15.60" | 2.5 kg

Workstation made to measure! We received a compact 19-inch workstation from Comino, which is equipped with four Nvidia A6000s and an AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 3975WX. In addition, there is liquid cooling, which is supposed to keep both the CPU and the GPUs in check. We took a closer look at the system and explain the pros and cons.

Greatly improved. Samsung has launched the second generation of its Galaxy Buds and has not only given the TWS headphones a new look and new colors, but also Active Noise Canceling. The price of 149 Euros (~$169) is quite attractive. Read our review to find out what else the Galaxy Buds2 have to offer.

Where is the desktop CPU? The predecessor was equipped with a swappable socket CPU for desktops, wiped the floor with the competition in terms of performance, but was clearly too loud. The current Apex 15 uses a normal laptop CPU, but still retains some features from the predecessor. This has advantages and disadvantages, but which ones outweigh the others?
AMD Ryzen 7 5800H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU | 15.60" | 2.1 kg

Better than the iPad Pro? Microsoft updates its high-end convertible with new Tiger Lake CPUs from Intel as well as a larger 13-inch screen including 120 Hz, replaceable SSD, and Thunderbolt 4. The optional LTE connectivity is unfortunately still limited to business customers.
Intel Core i7-1185G7 | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 96EUs | 13.00" | 891 g

Best RTX 3050 performance. For just under 750 Euros (~$848), you can get the G5 GD, a gaming laptop equipped with a Tiger Lake hexa-core processor and a GeForce RTX 3050 laptop GPU. The laptop offers space for up to three storage drives.
Intel Core i5-11400H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 4GB Laptop GPU | 15.60" | 2.1 kg

AMD Zen 3 with 16:10 touchscreen. Lenovo's IdeaPad family has grown so confusingly large that it's been getting difficult to keep track of how the models are categorized. Even so, the family has its gems including the new IdeaPad 5 Pro 14 which could have easily passed as a Yoga if not for a couple of caveats.
AMD Ryzen 5 5600U | AMD Radeon RX Vega 7 | 14.00" | 1.5 kg

OLED for the rest of us. With the new VivoBook K Series range, Asus aims to bring some of the features normally found in premium ZenBook offerings at more accessible prices. The Asus VivoBook 15 KM513 offers the AMD Ryzen 5 5500U APU and a vibrant Samsung OLED HDR panel at a starting price of ₹62,990 (US$846). While this is surely an enticing proposition, some of the qualms that the VivoBook series is known for continue to remain.
AMD Ryzen 5 5500U | AMD Radeon RX Vega 7 | 15.60" | 1.8 kg

More GPU cores and more RAM. The new MacBook Pro 16 with Apple’s own M1 Max SoC offers plenty of performance and uses a completely new Mini-LED panel with 120 Hz ProMotion technology. We review the high-end model with 32 GPU cores and 64 GB shared memory.

The Acer Chromebook Spin is one of the digital devices that Austria's school-age children will get starting in fall 2021. The laptop is inexpensive and offers a balanced performance. The most pressing question that arises in the test is: Can a laptop with Chrome OS replace a computer with Windows?
Intel Celeron N4120 | Intel UHD Graphics 600 | 11.60" | 1.2 kg

While many brands use a software app to compensate for weak hardware or provide above-average hardware to make up for the lack of a customization app, Padmate brings both into the equation. Today, we will see how inspired is this brand's product labeled "Pamu Z1 Pro" and advertised to eliminate up to 40 dB of noise while providing excellent quality audio.

5G for sure. Wide-angle camera, fast mobile Internet, large battery - at first glance, the Nokia G50 seems to have everything a mid-range phone needs today. But is it better than the competition? We want to find out in the test.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 5G | Qualcomm Adreno 619 | 6.82" | 220 g

Road warrior with Ryzen power. The Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 2 already received a very good rating in its version with an Intel CPU. The compact business laptop gets even better with the AMD Ryzen 5000 series. The Cezanne U CPUs make the Lenovo ThinkPad faster while reducing temperatures and fan noise.
AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U | AMD Radeon RX Vega 7 | 13.30" | 1.4 kg

Making do without Geforce. After testing the "large" Inspiron 16 Plus 7610 with a GeForce RTX 3050 and i7, we now take a look at the entry-level model. This time, the i7-11800H comes solo without dGPU. Will it be able to counter the complaint about the below-average development of the processor performance?
Intel Core i7-11800H | Intel UHD Graphics Xe 32EUs (Tiger Lake-H) | 16.00" | 2 kg

Iris Xe but with a catch. The Latitude 9520 convertible replaces the 10th gen Comet Lake-U CPU series on last year's model with newer 11th gen Tiger Lake-U options. Users are getting significantly faster graphics as a result, but performance isn't as steady as we had hoped.
Intel Core i7-1185G7 | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 96EUs | 15.00" | 1.7 kg

Mediatek Helio G80 | ARM Mali-G52 MP2 | 10.40" | 440 g

90 Hz monopolist in the low-cost sector? Motorola offers a smartphone under 150 Euros (~$169) with the Moto E40. If you have always wanted a fast screen in your cell phone on a tight budget, you should pay attention. However, savings had to be made elsewhere...
UNISOC Tangula T700 | ARM Mali-G52 MP2 | 6.50" | 198 g

Chic cross-country skier. The Asus ExpertBook B5 Flip B5302FEA is available as a campus model with a price advantage for students, teachers and others. But the convertible with Intel Core i5-1135G7 and enduring battery is also a good choice for the regular, hardly higher price, as our review shows.
Intel Core i5-1135G7 | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 80EUs | 13.30" | 1.3 kg

Anycubic's new version of the Photon Mono X promises higher resolution and faster processing times. At speeds of up to 80 mm/h, the 3D printer, which retails for 659 USD, is designed to produce replicates from UV resin. The 6K resolution of the masking screen renders details as thin as a single hair.

Powerful X1 in its fourth generation. In a year of numerous ThinkPad redesigns, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 is one of the most significant - after all, it's the very first 16-inch ThinkPad laptop. We are also pleased with the other features of this premium multimedia laptop, although battery life is disappointing.
Intel Core i7-11800H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU | 16.00" | 2 kg

BIOS updates stabilize the performance. In our first tests, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon G9 still struggled with performance issues. After several BIOS updates, the performance is now stable, but also lower. The optional ePrivacy screen also remains problematic.
Intel Core i5-1135G7 | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 80EUs | 14.00" | 1.2 kg

In color. The update of the well-known fitness tracker doesn't turn out small. In the Charge 5, Fitbit replaces the outdated monochrome OLED of the predecessor with a color version, removes the button on the side, and expands several functions for health monitoring.
Update: ECG and Daily Readiness Score are available at this point.

The most compelling GPD product thus far. The 8-inch Pocket 3 squeezes in many of the same features found on full-size laptops including an 11th gen Core i7 CPU, Wi-Fi 6E, PCIe4 NVMe SSD, Thunderbolt 4, and support for Windows 11 and even RS-232. We found only a couple of glaring caveats that we hope future revisions can address.
Intel Core i7-1195G7 | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 96EUs | 8.00" | 730 g

Insider Tip. The Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro is not yet officially available here and can currently only be purchased via import channels. However, this route is worthwhile because the 11-inch tablet is a real alternative to the Apple iPad in terms of looks and performance. However, the Pad 5 Pro costs considerably less and has a 120 Hz display and 67-watt fast charging ahead of the Apple model.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 5G | Qualcomm Adreno 650 | 11.00" | 515 g

AMD meets Nvidia. The XMG Apex 17 is a 17-inch gaming notebook from Schenker Technologies that relies on a strong Ryzen CPU and a potent GeForce GPU. The biggest highlight is the removable battery, the biggest drawback is the loud noise development.
AMD Ryzen 7 5800H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU | 17.30" | 2.6 kg

How does the full version of the M1 Pro perform? We review the new MacBook Pro 16 with Apple’s latest M1 Pro processor in its most powerful version with 16 GPU cores. The Mini-LED panel once again impresses with great pictures just like on the smaller 14-inch model.
Apple M1 Pro | Apple M1 Pro 16-Core GPU | 16.20" | 2.2 kg

1080p OLED is the new sweet spot. The VivoBook 15 K513 offers an amazing bang for the buck with its OLED display, 11th gen Intel CPU, and discrete Nvidia graphics all for under $950 USD. Though solid on paper, a few cut corners prevent it from reaching the same levels of a ZenBook.
Intel Core i7-1165G7 | NVIDIA GeForce MX350 | 15.60" | 1.6 kg

Edge without the edges? The second generation of Motorola's high-end mid-range Edge series comes without the curved screen glass of the predecessor. Instead, it features a slim design, a lower price, but also a smaller battery. So the question arises: Is this a step forwards or a step backwards?
Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G 5G | Qualcomm Adreno 642L | 6.70" | 163 g

Fast charging as the star feature. The Apple Watch 7 is mainly distinguished by a larger display without much of an increase in the watch size.

UNISOC T618 | ARM Mali-G52 MP2 | 10.40" | 455 g

A lot of smartphone for little money. The Xiaomi Redmi 10 starts at less than 200 Euros (~$231), but that doesn't keep it from packing a punch in terms of features: A 90 Hz display is included with the 6.5-incher as well as NFC, a 50 MP camera, a 5,000 mAh battery, and stereo speakers. The MediaTek SoC Helio G88 even ensures good everyday and gaming performance.
Mediatek Helio G88 | ARM Mali-G52 MP2 | 6.50" | 181 g

Many improvements! Starting today, Intel's 12th generation of the Core processors is available for sale, seeking to attract buyers. Find out in this review what you can expect from the new processors and what to know before the purchase.

Does expensive = good? Vaio wants you to pony up Apple levels of money for a Windows PC. While the lower-end Core i5 configuration is decently priced for what you're getting, our high-end Core i7 configuration doesn't offer much more to justify its enormous $700 surcharge.
Intel Core i7-1195G7 | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 96EUs | 14.00" | 1.1 kg

For a small budget. The Oppo A16s is an inexpensive entry-level smartphone that wants to convince with its 5,000 mAh strong battery, an eye-friendly display and last but not least a triple camera. How the Oppo smartphone performs for less than 180 Euros (~$208) can be read in the review.
Mediatek Helio G35 | PowerVR GE8320 | 6.52" | 190 g

MediaTek Dimensity 720 | ARM Mali-G57 MP3 | 6.70" | 185 g

Four speakers - hallelujah! Despite its low price, the Tab P11 Plus has an impressive set of features. The aluminum tablet from Lenovo has a Dolby Atmos speaker system, a 2K IPS panel, as well as a powerful 7,700 mAh battery. However, the P11 Plus revealed a major weakness in our review, which should be taken into account before buying.
