Dell XPS 17 9710 11th Gen Intel Laptop Review: Small Changes That Matter

88% Dell XPS 17 9710 11th Gen Intel Laptop Review: Small Changes That Matter

New 70 W GeForce RTX 3060. The first generation XPS 17 9700 was one of the best-looking 17-inch laptops with Core-H and GeForce RTX graphics, but it had some under-the-hood peculiarities that needed to be ironed out. The new XPS 17 9710 addresses the underlying issues while boosting performance by quite the margin.

Fitbit Luxe: Fitbit's elegant fitness tracker in review

Minimalist. The most elegant fitness tracker that we have come across so far is functionally minimalistic: Apart from health monitoring, which is certainly of high quality with Fitbit, there are hardly any additional functions on the Fitbit Luxe.

Everything important on board. The OnePlus Nord CE 5G competes in the smartphone mid-range and makes a bold promise: The 6.43-incher is supposed to offer exactly the features that users really need and make as few compromises as possible. At the same time, the OnePlus Nord CE 5G starts at 300 Euros (~$354). Our review clarifies how all that fits together.

Multi-functional. HP’s 2-in-1 device features the Core i5-1135G7, 16 GB of dual-channel RAM and an NVMe SSD. The Pavilion x360 14 can handle all modern tasks. What is more, it offers good battery life and has a touchscreen that can be operated with the fingers or the HP Tilt Pen, which is sold separately.

Elegant. The VivoBook scores with a Ryzen 7-5700U APU, 16 GB of working memory (dual-channel mode) and good battery runtimes. The Vega 8 iGPU remains below its capabilities. The dark, low-contrast screen (FHD, IPS) is not convincing.

90% Asus ROG Zephyrus S17 laptop review: Gaming device case opens up to provide more fresh air. Cool - but is it safe?

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.

85% Lenovo Yoga 6 13 Convertible Review: Laptops Have Clothes and Fabric Now

Hipster appeal. Lenovo is taking the concept of "stylish" to another level by incorporating fabric onto the chassis for a unique look and feel. It actually works, but its visual appeal will likely divide users especially since the fabric can make the laptop look like an old piece of clothing.

84% Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G smartphone review: The cheapest entry into the Mi 11 series

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.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Founders Edition Review: RTX 3090 performance for less but still a low value proposition

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. We take the RTX 3080 Ti FE for a test drive and evaluate how this US$1,199 card stacks up against the RTX 3080 and the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT.

Not much new in 2021. The Honor MagicBook was one of the best multimedia notebooks last year when it came to the price-performance ratio. Now there is a current Tiger Lake processor instead of an AMD chip, but this also increases the price by around 300 Euros (~$356). Is that justified?

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.

83% Asus TUF Gaming F17 laptop review: Good gaming device with RTX 3060 but average display despite 144 Hz

Asus RTX entry-level device. With the TUF A17, the series was revised last year, and the new case now packs an Intel Core i9 and an RTX 3060 instead of an AMD CPU and a GTX 1660 Ti. Is the entry that Asus offers into the current RTX generation worth it?

TicWatch E3 review: Almost as well-equipped as Mobvoi's TicWatch Pro 3 top smartwatch

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.

A modern SoC, fast storage, microSD support, an IR blaster, a large battery, and an audio jack are included in the list. Does that mean you can be blissfully happy for less than 200 Euros (~$239)?

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.

88% Gigabyte Aero 17 HDR YD laptop review: 4K HDR meets RTX 3080

Octa-core Tiger Lake CPU. Not only does the Aero 17 HDR YD come with an HDR-capable 4K display, but it is also run by an Intel Core i9-11980HK. Our test will show what this can do in combination with the built-in RTX 3080.

86% HP Envy x360 15 Ryzen 7 5700U Convertible Review: Faster Than The Spectre x360 15

Mid-range price, high-end performance. The 2021 Envy x360 15 gets a small facelift and a processor update over the 2020 version. If you don't mind skipping Thunderbolt support, then the new model can be better than the Spectre x360 15 in many ways.

85% Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 13 Review: Is AMD's Ryzen held back on purpose?

AMD only for the entry-level model. The smaller 13.5-inch model of the Surface Laptop 4 is now also available with an AMD Ryzen processor. Private customers, however, only get the base model with the Ryzen 5 and just 8 GB RAM. But is the AMD model perhaps still the better option?

RAVPower PD Pioneer 40W 2-Port Fast Charger Hands-on Review

The RAVPower PC152 is one of the latest in a long line of third-party wall chargers directed at the standard power brick-less iPhone 12 user market. It is a 40-watt (W) adapter, albeit one rated for up to 30W from one of its two USB type C ports. How does it stack up against other similar products in this space?

87% Asus Strix Scar 17 G733QS Laptop Review: Liquid Metal 7 nm AMD Zen 3 Is Stunning

You won't miss Intel. Asus has quickly become one of the biggest supporters of mobile AMD Ryzen by entrusting the series to power some of its most well-known gaming laptops. The latest ROG Strix Scar 17 forgoes Intel entirely for a liquid metal-cooled Ryzen 9 5900HX to be as fast as an Intel Core i9 desktop PC.

85% HP Envy 13 with Intel Tiger Lake and GeForce MX450 in review

Does the MX450 really bring anything? HP's compact Envy 13 is one of the few subnotebooks with a dedicated graphics card. The current model is equipped with the GeForce MX450, but is the GPU even worth it in view of the fast integrated graphics unit?

73% Motorola Moto E6i smartphone review - Discreet and affordable Moto phone

Compact copy. We reviewed Motorola's Moto E6s a good year ago, and this year's Moto E6i looks like a 1:1 copy, albeit with a slightly more modern SoC. Is the smartphone in the 100-euro class now outdated or worth buying?

Price-performance success! With the Poco F3, Xiaomi once again has a powerful smartphone in its portfolio that features a fast Snapdragon SoC, a bright AMOLED display, a powerful battery, 5G, and a triple-camera setup. Nevertheless, the starting price of 350 Euros (~$426) is very low.
