Oppo Reno8 Lite 5G smartphone review

82% Oppo Reno8 Lite 5G Review - Not enough for an upper mid-range smartphone

Lots of RAM, little premium. The Reno8 Lite offers an interesting design feature with its extravagant dual-ring lights, but that cannot compensate for the pronounced shortcomings. Read this review to find out what Oppo's phone lacks and which mid-range phone we prefer over the Reno8 Lite 5G.

Cubot Pocket

75% Cubot Pocket Smartphone Review: Extremely handy Android phone for little money

So small and almost a designer phone. The screen of the Cubot Pocket measures just 4 inches, making it ideal for small hands and narrow pockets. Cubot's ultra-handy Android phones are not quite as cheap as they used to be, but is the Pocket still worth it?

84% Huawei MateBook D 16 2022 review - Multimedia laptop now in 16:10 format and with number pad

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).

Battle of the entry-level GPUs - Nvidia GeForce MX550 & Intel Arc A350M Review

Arc vs. GeForce. Increasingly powerful integrated GPUs are a big problem for entry-level GPUs. Nvidia still offers the GeForce MX550 in this segment and Intel just launched the new Arc A350M.

Better than a Redmi Note 11? With the Moto G52, Motorola created an affordable Moto phone that achieves very long runtimes in our testing. Additionally, the bright 90-Hz OLED display is one of the best in its price range. However, there is also one big drawback to the Motorola Moto G52.

Intel 12th gen Core i7 HX debut. The 110 W Core i7-12800HX CPU isn't pulling any punches. Power consumption is certainly high, but the gains are well worth it especially for the target audience of enthusiasts and performance hunters.

Anker 521 PowerHouse hands-on: Practical mega powerbank and power socket for traveling

Summer is just around the corner. Camping weekends, trips to the lake, or simply journeys into the countryside cause batteries of cell phones and laptops to run down far too early. For short trips, you have a power bank with you, but for a longer journey, you take a power station with a normal household socket.

Huawei MateBook 16s Review - Large multimedia laptop with an Alder Lake i7

86% Huawei MateBook 16s Review - Large multimedia laptop with an Alder Lake i7

Transition to Intel is expensive. Huawei has now furnished the multimedia notebook MateBook 16 with an Intel processor and calls it the MateBook 16s. Buyers also get a Thunderbolt 4 port, a state-of-the-art Wi-Fi 6E module, and a bit more key travel. Other than that, there isn't much of a difference. Does that justify a price increase of 500 Euro (US$510)?

87% Asus ZenBook 14X OLED AMD laptop in review: Lots of color, lots of battery life, low price

Affordable OLED laptop. Besides using Intel processors, Asus also offers AMD processors for its Zenbook 14X. This results in a price advantage; the model is available for less than 1,000 Euros (~$1,018). However, some features have been omitted, such as a Thunderbolt port, an Nvidia graphics card, and a Screenpad - i.e. a second display integrated into the ClickPad.

Affordable and high-quality. In our laptop test, HP's affordable ZBook Power 15 G8 with Intel's Core i7-11800H shows a good but inconsistent workstation performance. Our test unit comes with an Nvidia T600 and scores with a very good battery life, excellent input devices, and bright FDH panel.

85% GPD Win Max 2 handheld gaming PC review: Intel Core i7-1260P or AMD Ryzen 7 6800U?

A Win-Win situation. The Win Max 2 is trying to be a lot of things at once for gamers, artists, office workers, and students. To our surprise, it actually works very well on all fronts to be a huge improvement over the original Win Max thanks to both design improvements and Intel's new 12th gen CPU.

Water games. Users of powerful 15-inch gamers often have to live with high temperatures and noise levels. While laptop components are becoming increasingly efficient, it will probably be a while yet before gaming is possible on silent and cool high-performance laptops. Perhaps Schenker thought it was time for some practical interim solutions and so decided to experiment by creating a gaming laptop with an optional, liquid cooling system, the XMG Oasis. A successful piece of bridging technology? Find out in our review.

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.

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.

92% Apple MacBook Pro 13 2022 M2 Laptop Review – Debut for the new Apple M2

More performance in a familiar shape. We still have to wait for the brand-new redesign of the MacBook Air, but Apple already launched the updated version of the MacBook Pro 13 with the new Apple M2 processor. The changes are otherwise very limited since both the display as well as the chassis including the Touch Bar are unchanged from the previous model.

Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro 13 review: Subnotebook with efficient Alder Lake i5

87% Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro 13 review: Subnotebook with efficient Alder Lake i5

Extremely mobile. The Galaxy Book2 weighs less than 1 kg and is powered by a 12th generation Intel i5. It is also extremely thin thanks to its OLED display. The result is an extremely portable notebook that Samsung has endowed with stamina and performance, but also with the usual weaknesses.

Intel Alder Lake-P

Core i5 beats Core i7: Alder Lake-P creates problems for manufacturers and customers

We reviewed a few new Alder Lake-P CPUs from Intel over the last two weeks and our concerns are supported by the test results. The power consumption is very high, which is a challenge for the cooling solutions. It is also a problem for customers, because a Core i5 can be more powerful than a Core i7 and there can be massive performance differences in general.

HP Victus 16 review: Affordable gaming laptop with AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU

82% HP Victus 16 review: Affordable gaming laptop with AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU

For penny pinchers. In the most affordable version of the Victus 16, HP combines a Ryzen 5 5600H with a GeForce RTX 3050 Ti, which promises plenty of performance for the 144-Hz FHD display. If it only wasn't for the mediocre image quality…

82% Getac S410 Gen 4 laptop review: Simple changes with huge upgrades

Excellent CPU and GPU performance. Intel's Tiger Lake-U series has done wonders for consumer laptops and so it's great to finally see the same options available on rugged models designed for enterprise or industrial use.

87% Asus Zenbook Flip 14 OLED review: An absolute sensation thanks to AMD and OLED

A powerful package with a 14-inch balancing act. Asus is launching a robust convertible on the market in the form of the Zenbook Flip 14 OLED. This boasts an excellent 14-inch OLED display with a 90 Hz refresh rate and 3K resolution in the popular 16:10 format. But this is not the only feature that shines. Find out the other advantages and disadvantages in the following review.

MSI Katana GF76 12UGS review: Is one of the most affordable RTX 3070 Ti gaming laptops worth it?

83% MSI Katana GF76 12UGS review: Is one of the most affordable RTX 3070 Ti gaming laptops worth it?

Scrimpy plastic sword. Both the 15-inch and the 17-inch versions of the Katana are some of the most affordable gaming laptops on the market. The powerful hardware of our test configuration with Alder Lake and RTX 3070 Ti can hardly be the reason for this, so where did the manufacturer make the cuts? Our test will find out.
