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.

After several camera updates and just in time for the market launch of the OnePlus 9, we compare the cameras of the latest high-end phones from OnePlus. Our review features the OnePlus 9 and the OnePlus 8T. Although the 2021 model has a Hasselblad-branded camera setup on the back, it lacks the OnePlus 8T's IOS.

Silent Chromebook competitor offers more performance in battery mode than in mains operation Lenovo's 11.6-incher does not have a convincing hardware configuration on board. However, the device offers silent operation, a one-year MS Office 365 Personal license and a low price level (279 Euros/~$337). Windows 10 Home in S mode serves as the operating system.

The last dance. The Band 6 marks the end of the close relationship between the smartwatches and fitness trackers from Honor and its former parent company Huawei. Once again, we explore the subtle differences that have always made Huawei's wearable slightly better than Honor's almost identical one in the past. The latter also loses out in this last comparison review.

Kicking Hades in the butt. Instead of developing a second generation Kaby Lake-G, Intel has simply swapped out AMD for Nvidia to essentially put an end to the short-lived Intel-AMD chipset. The results are worthwhile even if the new NUC is a bit thicker and heavier than before.

The MoGo Pro portable projector from XGIMI is a powerful but compact projector that is well-suited for outdoor movie nights, media binges on the road, or video viewing at a friend's house. However, the projector is outclassed by less portable solutions (especially at this price), edging it out for use in a permanent home theater setup.

More power. Schenker's DTR notebook scores with brute computing power and extensive maintenance, connection and expansion options. Thus, the processor and graphics core could be replaced in addition to the working memory and storage media.
Intel Core i9-11900K | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU | 17.30" | 4.7 kg

Only a minor update? Lenovo has equipped its entry-level business convertible with an up-to-date Tiger Lake processor and a modern Thunderbolt 4 port. However, the compact ThinkPad still has to do without a 16:10 screen in this generation. Is the update worth it anyway?
Intel Core i5-1135G7 | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 80EUs | 13.30" | 1.5 kg

More premium. The Galaxy A52 5G is an updated version of one of the most successful Samsung smartphones. It comes with a price hike, which puts it above the 400-Euro (~$480) mark for the first time. Read our review to learn why it is still worth every cent.

New Acer storage solution. Acer and BIWIN will make available several memory and SSD products to audiences in the United States and China. The first will be the FA100 M.2 PCIe 3 x4 2280 NVMe SSD that promises to be six times faster than the standard SATA SSD.

Striving to meet professional demands. An 11.5-inch OLED panel with Dolby Vision, four Dolby Atmos speakers, and a metal chassis - the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro targets high-end tablets like the Apple iPad Pro 11. On top of that, it aims to be a laptop replacement. A Windows-like mode is even available for this. We take a closer look at the all-rounder here.

Better gamble. Only a few months after our review of the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel, the successor is already available and it sounds like a real upgrade: More power, more gaming features, active cooling, new design. So, a real feast for gamers?
Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G | Qualcomm Adreno 660 | 6.92" | 259 g

Good maintenance options. With the ThinkBook 15, Lenovo already presented a solid work device one year ago. Now the second generation of the office laptops also wants to convince in everyday operation with many equipment options and Tiger Lake CPUs. Our review clarifies how well it succeeds in this.
Intel Core i5-1135G7 | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 80EUs | 15.60" | 1.8 kg

Hot contender. The Alienware m17 R4 is the latest addition to Alienware's m17 lineup. Compared to the m17 R3, there's a brand new RTX 3000 graphics card, but the CPU is identical to the predecessor's top configuration. The new 360 Hz display is also currently one of the fastest on the market.
Intel Core i9-10980HK | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU | 17.30" | 3 kg

Making the GP65 look outdated. MSI kicked off 2021 with a whole lineup of refreshed laptops sporting GeForce RTX 30 GPUs. Instead of just a simple internal update, however, many of these new models have brand new chassis designs and the GP66 is looking like the best one yet.
Intel Core i7-10870H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU | 15.60" | 2.3 kg

In the megapixel frenzy. Realme installs a 108-megapixel camera in its 8 Pro and enables fancy photo effects like tilt-shift and pictures of the starry night sky. However, the latest cellular standard is missing, which limits the future viability somewhat.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G | Qualcomm Adreno 618 | 6.40" | 176 g

Mid-range game changer. A 120 Hz OLED panel in a mid-range phone with a powerful Snapdragon SoC and a 108 MP camera for less than 280 Euros (~$336)? Not too long ago, these were features of a premium smartphone. Our review of the Xiaomi smartphone reveals how the affordable Redmi Note 10 Pro fares apart from the 6.67-inch AMOLED Dot display.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G | Qualcomm Adreno 618 | 6.67" | 193 g

The Genesis Thor 400 RGB is a full-size programmable mechanical keyboard that comes with a detachable palm rest. It uses Kailh Red switches and its set of features includes both preset and customizable RGB lighting settings, n-key rollover, configurable macro keys, and more. The backlight/volume knob's placement seems like the only drawback.

X1 Tablet, but better. After years of ThinkPad tablet abstinence, Lenovo returns to the 2-in-1 market with the new Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 1. The Lenovo X12 Tablet manages to impress us in our test - it turns out to be a worthy competitor to the Microsoft Surface Pro 7.

Power saver. OnePlus opted for RTOS instead of Google's Wear OS and against an always-on display due to battery life concerns. However, that and an equivalent to the Play Store's Health app for the iPhone are reportedly already under discussion. We also found a few software bugs for the developers, but we are otherwise excited about the smartwatch. And not only because of its low price.

Never gets too loud or too hot. The Legion C7 can run all current titles smoothly at 1080p. It comes with the Core i7-10875H, RTX 2070 Max-Q, 32 GB of dual-channel RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, and a Thunderbolt 3 port. It gets neither too loud nor too hot.
Intel Core i7-10875H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q | 15.60" | 2.3 kg

Tiger Lake flexes its muscles. 10th gen Intel wasn't always easy to follow with its split Ice Lake and Comet Lake-U approach. Thankfully, 11th gen Tiger Lake and the NUC11 family have streamlined the series while upping performance by quite the margin.
Intel Core i5-1135G7 | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 80EUs | 504 g

Early upgrade. The ROG Phone 5 is ready to defend the gaming crown, and it aims to convince with cutting-edge hardware and familiar strengths. Find out whether the Asus smartphone is more than just a niche product in our review.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G | Qualcomm Adreno 660 | 6.78" | 239 g

29% smaller. In its HP ZBook Fury 17 G7 mobile workstation, HP crammed more performance into a more compact case. The 119W5EA configuration delivers a lot of power in the test, and also convinces with a great 4K DreamColor display and numerous connections.
Intel Core i9-10885H | NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 Max-Q | 17.30" | 2.9 kg

Light baggage. The Amazfit T-Rex Pro is as robust as it is lightweight. Additional hardware like a barometer and a new biometric sensor make the Zepp wearable a lot better than its predecessor, which was still released under Huami. We also liked numerous settings in the test, including its options for the display, health management, and sports.

We pit the current high-end smartphones from Xiaomi and OnePlus against each other in a camera comparison. How big are the differences between the Xiaomi Mi 11 and the OnePlus 9? This will be revealed in our review.

Why should you always lug around a laptop when you can do your typing from any lighter tablet or even smartphone these days? Of course, writing longer texts on a virtual on-screen keyboard is much less fast and comfortable than on physical keys. But since most external keyboards are big and bulky, Logitech now wants to offer the perfect companion for iPhone and iPad, but also Android devices - the Keys-To-Go.

Advertised as "the first speakers on the market that allow you to control the backlight using a PC motherboard," the Genesis Helium 300BT ARGB also delivers a pleasant audio experience. Today, I will try to find the essential highs and lows of this audio accessory that targets computer users who love RGB lighting.

The best low-budget smartphone? It's almost impossible to get a smartphone at a lower price than the Redmi 9AT. Fans of long battery life in particular will get their money's worth with the Xiaomi phone. Our review of the Redmi 9A clone will reveal whether the Redmi smartphone is worth buying.

Solid option for students. Asus is positioning its latest VivoBook series as a solution for younger users on tighter budgets. Though it's nowhere near as fancy or appealing as the ZenBook, the VivoBook S333 is still a major improvement over the older VivoBook S330 series.
Intel Core i5-1035G1 | Intel UHD Graphics G1 (Ice Lake 32 EU) | 13.30" | 1.2 kg

Gaming desks often come with RGB lighting and a few other gimmicks that don't justify their price. In addition to the rather common lights, cable organizer and cup/headphone holders, Genesis also throws in a wireless charger and a USB 3.0 hub. Today, we will see if these are enough to make the Holm 510 competitive or this is just another overpriced gaming desk.

Tiger Lake with a large battery and many connections. With the current VIA 14, Schenker offers an extremely light 14-inch Ultrabook that relies on modern Tiger Lake processors including Thunderbolt 4/USB 4. The Full HD panel is also very efficient and enables runtimes of more than 15 hours together with the 73 Wh battery.
Intel Core i5-1135G7 | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 80EUs | 14.00" | 1.1 kg

Silver laptop for SMEs. Black laptops are out - at least in some segments. Lenovo tries to attract such customers in the business sector as well and offers an alternative to ThinkPads with the ThinkBook series. Apart from the design, the ThinkBook 14 Gen 2 doesn't differ that much from the ThinkPad E14 Gen 2.
Intel Core i5-1135G7 | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 80EUs | 14.00" | 1.5 kg

One step above semi-rugged. The Durabook S14I inherits many features of modern Ultrabooks and then some including the latest Intel U-series CPUs, NVMe SSDs, Wi-Fi 6, and USB-C with support for both Power Delivery and DisplayPort. The usual drawbacks remain, but they are a bit easier to overlook.
Intel Core i7-1165G7 | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 96EUs | 14.00" | 3 kg

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Motorola has equipped the 10th generation of its affordable mid-range phone with even more cameras and a fresh look. However, if you take a closer look, the differences to the previous generation are not that big. In our review, we'll evaluate whether the update is worth it.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 | Qualcomm Adreno 610 | 6.50" | 200 g

The Soutien Ergonomic Office Chair from Flexispot is a solidly built and well-designed chair that offers good comfort and support at a reasonable price. However, the chair lacks the setup options and flexibility of other office chairs, ultimately limiting its market.

The thinnest ThinkPad has to make some compromises. The new ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga uses expensive materials and is Lenovo’s new flagship business convertible. It is also the thinnest ThinkPad so far, but that results in some compromises, for example in terms of performance as well as input devices.
Intel Core i7-1160G7 | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 96EUs | 13.50" | 1.2 kg

140-watt TGP. Dell equips the Alienware m15 with Nvidia's new RTX 3000 GPUs in the R4 version. In our test configuration, the GeForce RTX 3070 shows what it can do at maximum TGP. The performance that can otherwise be found in this laptop will be revealed in our review.
Intel Core i9-10980HK | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU | 15.60" | 2.3 kg

Fine-tuning. Without much fuss, Huawei raises an important pillar of health monitoring to a level that many current wearables, even more expensive ones, have not been able to reach so far. The external changes are subtle yet all-around positive.

Now also with Tiger Lake. Less than three months after our review of the ZBook Firefly G7, we already have its successor on our desk. It comes with a CPU from the Tiger Lake generation and with Nvidia's brand-new Quadro T500 mobile graphics card. This review will show what the upgrade is capable of.

Strong competition for the Redmi smartphones?! The Moto G30 has an impressive specifications sheet. The low-priced mid-range smartphone features a 90-Hz screen, a quad-camera system, a 3.5-mm audio jack and a dual-SIM card slot that also supports microSD cards. Read our extensive review to learn about the weaknesses of the Motorola Moto G30.

Rare 16-inch 2-in-1. LG is expanding its Gram series this year to include a 16-inch Gram 16 convertible. It might sound bulky on paper, but the laptop is actually much lighter than it looks.
Intel Core i7-1165G7 | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 96EUs | 16.00" | 1.5 kg

With a launch price of less than US$30, the UGREEN HiTune T2 comes with Qi wireless charging support, up to 4 hours of autonomy on a single charge, an attractive design, and good sound quality. The build quality is also all right, and the HiTune T2 is also IPX5-rated for resistance against water and sweat.

Successful allrounder. The slim and compact Lenovo Yoga Creator 7 offers a lot of computing performance and a well-rounded equipment level. This is accompanied by a very good battery life and a three-year warranty.
Intel Core i7-10750H | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile | 15.60" | 1.8 kg

An improved Xiaomi Mi 11? The OnePlus 9 offers very good technical features on paper, but is it worth it to make the switch from the OnePlus 8T? And can the cameras of the OnePlus phone live up to the hype surrounding the cooperation with the renowned Swedish manufacturer Hasselblad? Our review of the OnePlus 9 will reveal the answers to this.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G | Qualcomm Adreno 660 | 6.55" | 192 g

Tiger Lake moves ahead. The Acer Swift 5 SF514 comes with Intel's EVO label and combines a Tiger Lake CPU with a slim design and good mobility. Our detailed review clarifies what buyers can expect from the 14-inch laptop.
Intel Core i5-1135G7 | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 80EUs | 14.00" | 1 kg

Just enough and nothing more. How many corners must you cut when aiming for such a low price point? Not as much as one might expect, apparently. The Doogee X95 Pro works well as a backup smartphone or even as a primary for undemanding users.
Mediatek Helio A20 MT6761D | PowerVR GE8300 | 6.52" | 177 g

Foldable OLED tablet. With the ThinkPad X1 Fold, Lenovo presents the first laptop with a foldable OLED panel. However, it has to deal with many limitations in everyday use. We want to find out whether the X1 Fold justifies the high price or whether you should rather avoid the technology experiment.
Intel Core i5-L16G7 | Intel UHD Graphics G7 (Lakefield GT2 64 EU) | 13.30" | 1.2 kg

To the top with a cult camera? The OnePlus 9 Pro is comparatively inexpensive for a high-end phone in 2021, but it still aims to impress with a lot of features and a great screen. Does the new cooperation with Hasselblad also improve the camera quality?
Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G | Qualcomm Adreno 660 | 6.70" | 197 g

White featherweight. Take a ThinkPad X1 Nano, remove some features, and paint it white. Lenovo didn't do that, obviously, but the result would probably look very similar to the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Carbon. Lenovo's cheaper ultralight laptop can convince in our test - but with some weaknesses.
Intel Core i7-1165G7 | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 96EUs | 13.30" | 975 g

Intel NUC alternative. The GMK uses the same 8th gen Intel CPU as the 2018 MacBook Pro 13 for less than $500 USD retail. Build quality and performance impressions are solid even if a few features are missing.
Intel Core i5-8259U | Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 | 430 g

We have a keyboard-mouse set for testing, the MK470 Slim Combo from Logitech. The set focuses on mobility and is therefore particularly thin, but is also supposed to be used on the desktop at home. Our hands-on test clarifies whether the MK470 can fully replace conventional keyboards and mice and is also the perfect companion for on the go.

Tiger Lake and Iris Xe. The MateBook X Pro is still one of the sharpest-looking Ultrabooks you can buy despite its years-old visual design. However, a few aspects haven't aged well at all for Huawei's flagship model.
Intel Core i7-1165G7 | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 96EUs | 13.90" | 1.3 kg

Intel/Nvidia or AMD? The MagicBook Pro offers a well-rounded level of equipment: a Core i5 processor, a GeForce MX350 GPU, 16 GB of working memory (dual-channel mode), an NVMe SSD, and a matte IPS display. All this is accompanied by a very good battery life.
Intel Core i5-10210U | NVIDIA GeForce MX350 | 16.10" | 1.7 kg

Big is beautiful. Externally, the Xiaomi Mi Watch and the realme Watch S are very similar. While the Mi Watch is above the 100-Euro (~$118) mark just like the recently introduced realme Watch S Pro, the Watch S is an attractive tracker in the lower price segment. Our side-by-side comparison will reveal whether the Watch S is a price breaker and for whom the additional price is worth it.

A complete Makeover. After two years with the same GE75 design, MSI is ready to move forward with a full frontal redesign of the series. The result is a system that is heavier than its predecessor but for all the right reasons.
Intel Core i7-10870H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU | 17.30" | 3 kg

Too many limitations. The Surface Pro X comes with an ARM-based processor and an integrated LTE modem, which is why it is an interesting device for those who appreciate portability. However, in everyday use, the combination of an ARM SoC and Windows 10 results in a lot of limitations, and the battery life is also quite poor.
Microsoft SQ1 | Qualcomm Adreno 685 | 13.00" | 1 kg

Powerful components and a great display. Almost all manufacturers offer slim workstations, but you usually do not get very powerful GPUs. HP on the other hand equips its ZBook Studio G7 with powerful Quadro RTX GPUs from Nvidia and also puts a very good DreamColor display with the 4K resolution and HDR in the stylish chassis. Is the vapor chamber cooling powerful enough to utilize the full power of the components?
Intel Core i9-10885H | NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000 Max-Q | 15.60" | 2 kg

The iGPU workstation. The Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 1 is being sold with Intel and with AMD CPUs. We take a look at the AMD variant, which does not feature a dedicated GPU - peculiar for a workstation. We also test the ThinkPad PrivacyGuard screen.
AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U | AMD Radeon RX Vega 7 | 14.00" | 1.6 kg

Premium screen, entry-level connections. Lenovo has equipped its entry-level business series again with a Comet Lake processor, combining the CPU with a GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q, and thus turning the device into a multimedia allrounder. With this, it now offers the same specs as the ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen3, but at a lower price. Our detailed test reveals any advantages the ThinkPad might still have or not have, compared to the ThinkBook.
Intel Core i7-10750H | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q | 15.60" | 2 kg

Tiger and Dragon. LTE modem, Tiger Lake, replaceable SSD - Microsoft adds new features to the Surface Pro 7 and names the whole package Surface Pro 7 Plus. Consumers can't buy the device (yet). The sales group is limited to companies and schools for the time being.
Intel Core i5-1135G7 | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 80EUs | 12.30" | 796 g

AMD Ryzen meets Linux. Tuxedo's Pulse 15 is a 15-inch multimedia notebook based on AMD's Ryzen line of CPUs. It is customizable and offers plentiful connectivity as well as a large battery that makes for a long battery life.
AMD Ryzen 5 4600H | AMD Radeon RX Vega 6 (Ryzen 4000/5000) | 15.60" | 1.5 kg

Not everybody's darling. We got some ideas from our readers for the review of the Xiaomi Mi Watch. This sometimes led to different results depending on whether the wearable is connected to an Android device or an iPhone. The differences aren't only related to Alexa. Especially when it comes to the health parameters, it's not all good news.

More colors. The Find X3 Pro is Oppo's answer to the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra; therefore, it offers a high-end smartphone that breaks new ground especially in terms of the camera. Some improvements have been made compared to the predecessor, but our review also reveals some minor setbacks.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G | Qualcomm Adreno 660 | 6.70" | 193 g

Quick-change artist. The Acer Spin 3 convertible is half laptop, half tablet. Is the device a lazy compromise in both categories, or is the compact 14-inch device a cheap deal with its Intel Core i5-1035G4 and Iris Plus Graphics G4 paired with 8 GB of RAM at around 800 Euros (~$954)?
Intel Core i5-1035G4 | Intel Iris Plus Graphics G4 (Ice Lake 48 EU) | 14.00" | 1.5 kg

All-purpose weapon. Inexpensive and still with good features - many tablets fail at this balancing act, but the Lenovo Tab 11 manages to reconcile these seemingly contradictory terms. Naturally, its entry-level price of 250 Euros (~$298) requires some trade-offs. Nevertheless, the 11-incher performs well in the test and can cover a fairly broad range of applications.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 | Qualcomm Adreno 610 | 11.00" | 490 g

Bargain Suspicion. If you are looking for a smartphone for very little money, you will come across Blackview at major online retailers. The A80 Plus is a bit better equipped than the cheapest models and even enables mobile payments thanks to NFC. We take a closer look at the Chinese phone in our test.
Mediatek Helio P22 MT6762 | PowerVR GE8320 | 6.49" | 180 g

Audio magic on the go. The HELM Audio DB12 AAAMP portable amp is a well-built and compact solution for Hi-Fi headphones. The portable THX Certified amp increases the volume and clarity of audio, resulting in a noticeable improvement in quality. However, at US$180, the prohibitive cost will price out all but the most dedicated audiophiles.

Affordable entry. The current entry-level model from Samsung's Galaxy A series is the A02s. For barely 165 Euros (~$197), the manufacturer includes a triple camera system and a quite large battery. However, there are a lot of competitors, including other inhouse models, and there are also some really basic problems.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 | Qualcomm Adreno 506 | 6.50" | 196 g

Model update. Dell's Surface Pro competitor offers quiet to silent operation, low heat emissions, and a touchscreen display in the 3:2 format. The latter responds to touch input performed with the fingers as well as with the separately available Dell Premium Active Pen.
Intel Core i7-10610U | Intel UHD Graphics 620 | 12.30" | 850 g

With the bright 16:10 display. The Inspiron 14 7400 is small and light. It also comes with a superb display. In combination with a Tiger Lake CPU and Nvidia’s GeForce MX350, the Inspiron 14 can be a very good office laptop. But is it? Read our review to find out.

The GeForce RTX 3060 or GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q? The latest Razer Blade 15 laptop with GeForce RTX 30 graphics starts at $1699 up to $3299 for the highest-end configuration. We test the lowest-end configuration to see how it stacks up against the previous generation of Blade 15 RTX 20 options.
Intel Core i7-10750H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU | 15.60" | 2.1 kg

5G thanks to trade-offs. The Galaxy A32 5G offers a large 6.5-inch display, a big battery, a modern MediaTek SoC, and a quad-camera setup. However, it can't always outperform its predecessor, and it offers a narrower set of features than some of its rivals.
MediaTek Dimensity 720 | ARM Mali-G57 MP3 | 6.50" | 205 g

Lighter than a carton of milk. The 14-inch ExpertBook weighs less than 1000 grams (2.2 lbs) and gets a significant boost in performance this year, thanks to a new Tiger Lake chip. Moreover, the Asus laptop now comes with Thunderbolt 4 instead of Thunderbolt 3 and the display has gotten brighter. But did the new version get only the reasonable upgrades or is there something to be critical about? Read our extensive review to find out!

Battleship with Tiger Lake. Acer offers a range of 14 to 17.3 inches in its Aspire 5 model series. The big A517 model scores points with an Intel i7-1165G7 and a GeForce MX350. Our review reveals how the all-rounder with its 43.9 cm display diagonal performs in practice.
Intel Core i7-1165G7 | NVIDIA GeForce MX350 | 17.30" | 2.2 kg

Classic upgrade. The Momentum 3 Wireless cannot deny its origins and has the concise design of its predecessor, but this has now been freshened up a bit. The interfaces are also modernized, but Sennheiser could have been a bit more generous with the audio codecs.

Great convertible, aging processor. Like the HP Dragonfly or Spectre series, the EliteBook x360 1040 G7 is one of the sleekest laptops for its size and category. Internally, however, the old Intel 10th gen Comet Lake-U processor is holding back the system from performing as well as most of the latest Ultrabooks in the market.
Intel Core i7-10810U | Intel UHD Graphics 620 | 14.00" | 1.4 kg

Too low a poker game? The Blackview A series is aimed at those who only want to spend very little money on a smartphone. The Blackview A80 comes with Android 10 Go, very little memory, but at least four camera lenses to the buyer. A good offer?
Mediatek MT6737 | ARM Mali-T720 | 6.21" | 180 g

New player. Oppo is still a relatively unknown player in Germany, but it's already number 4 in global smartphone sales after Apple, Samsung, and Xiaomi. This means that the Chinese manufacturer is doing quite a lot right from the customer's point of view. We will find out in our review whether that is also the case with the Find X3 Lite, the smallest model from Oppo's new flagship family.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G | Qualcomm Adreno 620 | 6.43" | 172 g

Convertible for creatives featuring a GeForce GTX GPU. Acer sells laptops for creative professionals and engineers under the "ConceptD" label. In order to reach this target group, they have specialized in convertibles with powerful components - which is also the case with the Acer ConceptD 3 Ezel CC314. Unfortunately, our test left us somewhat disappointed due to the rather inefficient CPU.

Our camera review features the following contenders: The Xiaomi Mi 11 vs. the Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus. Our camera comparison between the Xiaomi and the Samsung smartphones reveals which "entry-level" flagship phone from the two manufacturers offers the best camera experience in the end.

The RTX 3060 does a good job. The Schenker Core 15 brings all modern computer games smoothly onto the responsive screen (WQHD, IPS, 165 Hz). In addition, there's an NVMe SSD, 16 GB of RAM (dual-channel mode), and decent battery runtimes. The new Control Center provides extensive control over the APU and GPU performance.

Through highs and lows. The Enduro is at eye level with the flagships of the Fenix series and even improves on some features: trail runners will profit from new and improved technologies, and endurance and extreme athletes from its particular suitability for GPS supported ultra activities. But this does not come cheap. Those who indulge in the smartwatch will probably have large ambitions.

TN panel limitations. The Auzai checks a lot of desirable boxes including 1440p native resolution, 165 Hz refresh rate, fast response times, attractive narrow bezel design, and FreeSync support for under $300 USD. Actual display quality, however, is average at best or poor at worst when compared to most mid-range IPS gaming laptops and other pricier gaming monitors.

Display hero. Gigabyte's Aero-15 lineup consists of stylish multimedia laptops that also have enough performance resources for 3D applications. Our model has a 4K OLED display that already looks impressive at first glance. A laptop GeForce RTX 3070 provides the necessary graphics power.

Puristic. With Android One and a dedicated Google Assistant button, the Nokia 5.4 tries to separate itself from the rest of the competition in the mid-range space. However, users, who were hoping to see a significant improvement over the Nokia 5.3, will be left bitterly disappointed…

RTX 3080 versus RTX 2080 Super. Schenker updated its XMG Pro. The new model is less similar to the older and thicker Pro 15 and more akin to a refresh of Schenker's ultra-thin Key 15. It features an RTX 3080 instead of the previously installed RTX 2080 Super but is it actually any faster? And what other benefits does the new model offer over the old one? Let's out in our extensive review.

GeForce Super instead of Quadro. The ThinkPad T15g is a new product for Lenovo. You might think the designation as well as the GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q GPU indicate a gaming device, but it is a mobile workstation without a Quadro GPU. Is the T15g is a good choice if you do not need ISV certifications?

Battery power reloaded. Even more battery for less money; that is the concept of Motorola's Moto G9 Power. Compared with the predecessor, it has been improved in some areas, but corners have been cut in others too. We'll see if it's enough for it to be a convincing mid-range phone this year as well.

Chubby performance bundle. After we tested the ThinkPad T15g with a GeForce GPU, we now take a look at the Lenovo ThinkPad P15 Gen 1 model. The entry-level version of the workstation fares well in terms of the performance, but it shows a surprising weakness in the input devices.
Intel Core i7-10750H | NVIDIA Quadro T1000 (Laptop) | 15.60" | 2.7 kg

TN panel with a subpar contrast ratio. The distinguishing features of any entry-level notebook are a low price tag and simple hardware. Such devices are primarily intended for work. However, the screen of the V15 is not really fit for purpose. Read our review to learn more about the Lenovo laptop.
