Turbo radio. The realme 7 5G is quite closely related to its 4G brother, but brings a bit more power and of course the possibility to use 5G mobile networks. The price is much higher, so is it worthwhile to go for this variant?

Small, but impressive. The 13.3-inch office laptop has received a Ryzen update. While its predecessor was still equipped with a Ryzen 5 3550H with Vega 8, the new model features a modern Ryzen 5 4600U including an RX Vega 6. Find out what else has changed in our detailed review.

A good investment. Anyone can offer an expensive tablet, but only few manufacturers offer affordable tablets with good equipment and performance. The stage belongs to the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 LTE, since it is distinguished by exactly those virtues, and at 290 Euros (~$345; ~$290 in the US), it is one of the best tablets in its price class.

Huge power. The Mate series is Huawei's top-of-the-line technological product. It has always been equipped with the latest high-end specifications and combines a large display with long battery life. The Chinese have remained true to this line this year, but they stumble when it comes to a core component.

AMD strikes again. Renoir has proven itself to be a beast of a series and the 8-core 16-thread Ryzen 7 Pro 4750U is no exception. The CPU propels the HP EliteBook 845 G7 to be much faster than what its vanilla visual design might otherwise suggest.

Gloomy journeyman. The Honor 10X Lite wants to stir up the lower middle class and brings along a large battery and a lot of memory. The more modern case pleases, but apart from the missing Google services, there are other weak points that we found in the test.

Not enough madness. The Mad Catz R.A.T. Air offers an innovative approach to the traditional wireless mouse design without having to rely on batteries and their recharging. Is this approach alone worthy of its US$195 asking price? How much of Mad Catz's customization legacy does the R.A.T. Air inherit and how good is the PMW3360 sensor in 2020? Let's find out.

Close to octa-core performance! A compact laptop with an AMD Ryzen 4000 and two RAM slots sounds great. If you combine this with good input devices and business features, it sounds even better. It's just a pity that the HP EliteBook 835 G7 has a below-average display.

Darling of the public. Samsung has the 6.5-inch Galaxy S20 FE 5G - FE stands for fan edition - completely on the desires of the Galaxy-S20 Community. The result can be seen, because the fan edition is so far the fastest Galaxy-S20 model and is outstanding in nearly all other areas. In addition, it is surprisingly inexpensive by high-end standards.

86% Schenker XMG Neo 17 (2020, Tongfang GM7MPHS) Review: Overboost unleashes the Core-i7 processor

Full speed ahead. The Neo 17 brings all the current computer games smoothly to the very responsive 17.3-inch screen (FHD, IPS, 240 Hz). The level of equipment is also right: a mechanical keyboard, 32 GB of working memory (dual-channel mode), an NVMe SSD (1 TB), and a Thunderbolt 3 connection are onboard. However, the battery life does not inspire enthusiasm.

However, the second generation of the ThinkPad E14 has already been released, initially only with a Ryzen 5 processor. The E14 Gen 2 with Intel Tiger Lake will follow later.

Expensive professional. For mobile workstations, performance is the top priority. Accordingly, Asus equips its ProArt StudioBook Pro X W730G5T with the Nvidia Quadro RTX 5000 but does without eight-core CPUs. This is a mistake, because the price is too high for the built-in CPU.

Premium but pricey. The Dell Latitude 7410 Chromebook Enterprise 2-in-1 is a well-specced, well-crafted, high-end Chrome OS convertible. It sits at the top of the Chromebook market, but its high price tag (starting at $1580) is a major hurdle that ultimately proves to trip up the device.

88% HP EliteBook 845 G7 review: AMD laptop is also better with Ryzen 5 than with Intel

The price-performance ratio speaks for AMD. With the Ryzen 5 PRO, the 14-incher goes full throttle and outclasses the top models from Intel. In addition, it offers great runtimes, a low noise level, and excellent maintenance options. However, it doesn't manage to achieve the subnotebook-megastar status because of the display.

RAVPower PD Pioneer 30W Wall Charger with Lightning to USB-C Cable hands-on review

The launch of Apple's iPhone 12 series has also meant the launch of this OEM's most powerful (albeit 20 watt (W)) charging standard over Lightning to USB type C cables. However, RAVPOWER asserts that it can subsume this new spec with other, more demanding use-cases such as fast-charging for Android flagships. Can the new, dual-port 30W PD Pioneer USB C Wall Charger live up to it?

We take a closer look at the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, and put both through their paces.
