The Ark Reactor of Legion. If you open the Legion 5 Pro gaming laptop, you will find a hidden message that indicates that Lenovo probably had the goal of creating a technological marvel here. However, despite the Ryzen 7 and RTX 3070, the designers didn't quite succeed in giving justice to the example from the comics.

GeForce RTX 3050 debut. The Inspiron 16 introduces some notable firsts for the series including a 3K 16-inch display, GeForce RTX 3050 graphics, and a new metal chassis design. Most of it is impressive, but the Nvidia GPU in particular falls a bit short.

Windows on ARM. The HP EliteBook Folio 13.5 has a high-quality build and is versatile to use. With Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2, it's also one of the few devices that run Windows as an ARM version. Our review will clarify what that means in everyday use.

Power banks are handy accessories for phones, peripherals or possibly tablets, which may be why OEMs like RAVPOWER now also aims them at laptop users. This new device purports to contain the tech necessary to power an ultrabook at up to 90 watts (W) via USB type-C. Can it live up to these lofty claims?

Not only the price is hot. The RedMagic 6R is nominally a powerful gaming smartphone with Snapdragon 888, 144 Hz AMOLED display and shoulder buttons. High-end equipment rounds off the total package for less than 500 Euros (~$588). Sounds like a bargain, but it is not only the cooling that causes problems in the test.

Vodafone only. Once again. Even though the Fossil Gen 5 LTE is only comparable with Vodafone (or Verizon branded smartphones in the US), we were very curious: The LTE version, which is almost identical to the regular Gen 5, is the first smartwatch of this brand for us. Our test therefore also includes basic functions such as GPS accuracy and heart rate measurements.

Although it is ROCCAT's first keyboard to use optical switches, the Vulcan TKL Pro feels like a product that has been around for ages. Both the hardware and software are excellent, although not perfect yet. The only thing that some people will enjoy at first sight is probably the price.

What's the catch? Aside from the predictable Intel Tiger Lake update, the EliteBook 840 G8 has surpassed our expectations when it comes to keeping fan noise to a minimum. Its quiet demeanor doesn't come free, however.

Hybrid work companion. The Poly Sync 20+ aims to alleviate issues with the hybrid work culture of today, at least with respect to audio. Sporting a steerable microphone array coupled with a 40 mm loudspeaker and dual passive radiators for bass reflex, the Poly Sync 20+ promises to be an improvement over conventional laptop and smartphone audio subsystems. We take a look if that's indeed the case.

Huge amount of ports. With the latest model, the Aero 15 OLED XD, Gigabyte equips the laptop with Tiger Lake, Thunderbolt 4, and HDMI 2.1, bringing almost all components up to date. An iGPU and a 105-watt laptop GeForce RTX 3070 work together as the graphics solution.

Downgrade too massive? With the Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Samsung combines the features of the premium tablets Galaxy Tab S7 and Galaxy Tab S7 Plus. However, the Korean manufacturer noticeably cuts down on the cheapest Galaxy tablet, so the spirit of the new "Fan Edition" series is somewhat missed.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G 5G | Qualcomm Adreno 619 | 12.40" | 608 g

Budget laptop with potential. The Lenovo ThinkPad L series represents the entry level among the B2B models; the ThinkPad L14 Gen 2 is one of the cheapest ThinkPad laptops with a 14-inch display.

AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU | 17.30" | 2.3 kg

Fan heater. The Modern 14 scores with a Core i7-1165G7 processor, GeForce MX450 graphics core, and 16 GB of working memory. However, the latter is only able to operate in single-channel mode. In addition, the laptop heats up very significantly under heavy load and produces a lot of noise.
Intel Core i7-1165G7 | NVIDIA GeForce MX450 | 14.00" | 1.3 kg

High performance, high temperature. The Summit E14 may look like an ordinary Ultrabook, but it manages to house a full-fledged GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q to offer significantly faster graphics performance than the best that Intel Iris Xe and AMD Vega can currently do. There are some costs to be aware of, however.

AMD Ryzen 7 5700U | AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 (Ryzen 4000/5000) | 15.60" | 1.8 kg

Open Sesame! Laptops have little space to adequately cool powerful hardware. Asus probably wondered, "why don't we just open the case and let the hardware get a direct supply of fresh air?" No sooner said than done, but does this actually work? Does it deliver the promised advantages in terms of noise and temperature, and is it stable enough at the same time? We put this to the test.

Budget edition. Xiaomi gathers its top smartphones in the Mi 11 series and also charges quite a bit of money for them. In terms of price, the situation is exactly the opposite with the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G. The 6.55-inch mid-range smartphone starts at 300 Euros (~$354) and is therefore clearly the cheapest representative of the Mi 11 series. Nevertheless, its features and performance are good as our review will show.

Ti(e)-ing with the 3090. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti arrives as a mid-cycle refresh to supplant the RTX 3080 as the company's fastest gaming GPU nine months after the company first introduced the Ampere architecture. The RTX 3080 Ti sports a slightly cut-down variant of the GA102 GPU that is found in the RTX 3090 with half the VRAM.

Redesign in the old format. Even though Lenovo renews its premium model of the ThinkPad T-Series from the ground up, the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 2 still keeps its 16:9 format, going against the current trend for displays. The fact that it still achieves a very good result is primarily due to the excellent input devices and equipment.

Strong newcomer. With the Poco M3 Pro 5G, Xiaomi presents an exciting offer to budget-conscious buyers. The 6.5-inch smartphone follows in the footsteps of the Poco M3 that was launched at the beginning of 2021 at a bargain price of 150 Euros (~$178) and offered an impressive amount of value. With the Poco M3 Pro 5G, there's supposed to be even more of everything now. We will put it to the test here.

A giant tablet with M1 power. Apple packs everything technically possible into its large 5th generation iPad Pro: A state-of-the-art Mini LED display, an Apple M1 SoC, which has already made Intel fearful in the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro 13, and at least 8 GB of RAM.

Good genes. In terms of the core equipment, the hardware of the WearOS smartwatch is identical to that of the TicWatch Pro 3. This makes it attractive as an affordable alternative to Mobvoi's current top model, particularly since other manufacturers still use the older SoCs instead of the Snapdragon Wear 4100 platform.

The AMD combo breaker. After being exclusively Intel for a decade, the Razer Blade series has finally gotten an AMD option that just so happens to outperform any Intel model that came before it. And, in typical Razer fashion, all that power has been condensed into an unbelievably small and portable form factor.

Looks good on the outside but how about the inside? The Xiaomi RedmiBook Pro 15 is quite something with its stylish aluminum case and 242 ppi Super Retina display. Its internals also look impressive on paper. A fast Intel Core i7-11370H quad-core CPU, an Nvidia GeForce MX450 GPU, 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 512 GB SSD should result in a fast device. However, the Xiaomi laptop shows some irregularities in the test.

Xe, but not so Max. As one of the first Intel Iris Xe Max-powered devices, the Asus VivoBook Flip 14 aims to bring a lot to the table for the mid-range laptop user.
