Tiger & Turing. P15s, round two: Even with the newest components, the Lenovo ThinkPad P15s does not turn into a performance champion. But perhaps it doesn't have to, and the ThinkPad ultrabook workstation can still be a good catch for users with the corresponding needs.

Success Model 2.0. Samsung has relaunched its mid-range top model: The Galaxy A72 is even better than the already strong predecessor and has, among other things, the larger battery and better cameras.

Performance Analysis of Outriders

Performance Analysis of Outriders

Cool game, but half-cooked on a technical level. The third person shooter from Square Enix and People Can Fly has had a mixed reception among both critics and players. We have analysed the performance of the PC version.

Acer Chromebook Spin 713 CP713-2W Review: Touchscreen with a 3:2 aspect ratio

86% Acer Chromebook Spin 713 CP713-2W Review: Touchscreen with a 3:2 aspect ratio

Business Chromebook. The Spin 713 offers a 3:2 touchscreen, good battery life and USB-C ports with support for Power Delivery. The 800-Euro (~$970) convertible is not one of the cheapest Chromebooks (in the US, the pricing is much better: $529).

MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo Convertible Review: A Timeless Design

87% MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo Convertible Review: A Timeless Design

MSI Spectre x360 13. The Summit is the most visually striking laptop yet from MSI. Its quality is thankfully not just skin deep as performance and battery life are just as respectable.

The Huawei MateBook D 16-53011VFJ in review (image: Huawei)

86% Huawei MateBook D 16 in review: A lot of AMD power and hardly any points of criticism

A lot of performance for a low price. With the MateBook D 16, Huawei offers an interesting and affordable multimedia laptop at an MSRP of 900 Euros (~$1,088). The device offers a 16.1-inch display packed into an elegant metal case. Can the Huawei MateBook D 16 convince in the test as much as its first impression suggests?

Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 15 laptop review: New AMD processor and more endurance

85% Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 15 laptop review: New AMD processor and more endurance

A missed chance? Microsoft presents the 4th generation of the Surface laptop, again offering the larger 15-inch model also with a special AMD Ryzen processor besides the Intel CPUs. Otherwise nothing much has changed, and Microsoft continues to forgo modern connections such as Thunderbolt.
