Dell Latitude 7410 Laptop Review: The Lenovo X1 Carbon Has Met Its Match

89% Dell Latitude 7410 Laptop Review: The Lenovo X1 Carbon Has Met Its Match

Getting down to business. Dell's latest 14-inch business subnotebook feels like the most refined Latitude laptop in years. But for what you're paying, we think it could use a little more auxiliary features to better reflect the high price.

Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3 11IGL05 laptop review: Quiet, efficient, and slow convertible

78% Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3 11IGL05 laptop review: Quiet, efficient, and slow convertible

Fanless and slow. A laptop without fans can be an amazing thing, especially for people who are sensitive to noise. But Lenovo makes too many compromises with the extremely affordable convertible IdeaPad Flex 3 11IGL05. In the end, it is simply too slow, even for its low price.

Durabook R11 Rugged Tablet Review: A Tough Cookie

Durable Windows tablet. As the more affordable version of the pricier Durabook U11, the Durabook R11 maintains a lot of the core functions of a rugged tablet while incorporating a few features of its own. However, we can't say we're fans of the new touch-sensitive buttons.

85% MSI GE75 Raider 10SE Laptop Review: 10th Gen Core i7 and GeForce RTX Combo

Same looks, slightly faster. MSI has refreshed its GE75 series for the third year in a row. The new Comet Lake-H CPU is just marginally faster than last year's Core i7 option, but it's a year-over-year upgrade nonetheless.

Minor Update. Lenovo shows the 8th generation of its business flagship ThinkPad X1 Carbon. However, it is just a very small update and it looks like you only get a new Intel Comet Lake-U processor at first. AMD processors are not planned for this generation of the expensive business notebook.

Oppo Find X2 Lite smartphone review

82% Oppo Find X2 Lite smartphone review - Solid mid-ranger with weak haptics

Haptics as dealbreaker? The Find X2 Lite, like its Find X2 Neo sibling model, is powered by a Snapdragon 765G, but at a current price of 440 Euros (~$495), it is clearly cheaper. The Lite variant's otherwise watered-down interior is also visible on the outside, since Oppo uses a lot of plastic instead of glass in the Find X2 Lite.

A leaner Spectre x360 13. The latest mid-range 13.3-inch convertible from HP could easily pass as a flagship Spectre offering. It does a lot of things right to be a worthwhile sub-$1000 laptop with only a handful of annoyances to keep in mind.

Zotac MEK MINI desktop PC with Core i7 and GeForce RTX 2070 Super in review

Small powerhouse! When it comes to small PCs, Zotac is well known to many. With the MEK MINI, the manufacturer offers decent gaming performance in the smallest of spaces and almost completely forgoes the use of laptop components. We have taken a closer look at what the small PC is capable of and summarized it for you in this review.

79% Samsung Galaxy A41 Smartphone Review: Affordable despite its Super AMOLED display

A matter of honor. With its Galaxy A series, Samsung has made a name for itself by offering affordable but well-equipped smartphones. Correspondingly, the expectations on its newest product of the series, the Galaxy A41 mid-range smartphone, are high. With its 6.1-inch Super AMOLED display, an octa-core SoC, and a 48-MP triple camera, the smartphone brings some good prerequisites.

Fast display for a fast laptop. It's the first 17.3-inch gaming laptop to offer refresh rate options greater than 240 Hz. Unless if you're a super enthusiast, however, it's gonna be hard to tell the difference between 300 Hz and last year's 240 Hz panel.

Light gaming laptop. Acer's 17.3-inch gaming laptop runs all the latest computer games smoothly on the matte 120 Hz IPS display. The configuration is pleasing: A hexa-core Comet Lake processor, a GeForce RTX 2060 GPU, a 1 TB NVMe SSD and 16 GB of RAM (dual-channel) are on board.

The AMD SmartShift edge. It's not the quietest or best-looking gaming laptop out there, but $860 USD for GeForce RTX 2060-level graphics and Core i7-like performance is hard to argue with. The value of the all-AMD G5 15 Special Edition is impressive.

With the Redmi Note 9 Pro, Xiaomi has thrown another wrench into the gears of established price points. For an MSRP of 250 Euros (~$282), the 6.67-inch smartphone comes with a 64-MP quad-camera and a massive battery. Our review will show whether a purchase is worthwhile.

Moto 360 Gen 3 Review: Great smartwatch with a known shortcoming

Moto 360 Gen 3 Review: Great smartwatch with a known shortcoming

Late bloomer. In regard to the shortcoming, we are not talking about the "flat tire" issue here, the conspicuous bezel at the bottom of the previous-generation smartwatch. In 2014, the Moto 360 was the first watch that used Google's Android Wear smartwatch operating system, now called WearOS. As is well known, this still has one weakness: short battery life. Almost five years after the single known update in 2015, the hardware has also now received several improvements.

88% Microsoft Surface Book 3 15 Convertible Review: Still great, but is it better than its predecessor?

Battle of generations. We are pushing the almost unrivaled 15-inch convertible Surface Book 3 through our various test scenarios. Both the tablet hardware (i7 Ice Lake, G7 graphics) and the convertible hardware (GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q) look even more impressive compared to the predecessor (i7 Kaby Lake refresh, GTX 1060). But is the current model actually more powerful and is the difference noticeable enough to warrant an upgrade? These are questions we will attempt to answer in our review.

5G gaming powerhouse at a bargain price. The Nubia RedMagic 5G offers very good technical specifications for less than 600 Euros (~$676). In everyday use, however, noticeable compromises have to be made with the gaming mobile phone, so that a RedMagic 5G is not the right companion for everyone.

After all, in contrast to the new HP EliteBook 835 G7, it still has an RJ45 Ethernet port and the old side-docking port.

While it is a competent laptop capable of crunching through office tasks and light graphical or gaming loads, it is held back by a few grating annoyances.

In the meantime, Huawei has also enabled the latter in the Band 4 Pro, which is significantly more affordable in comparison. Is the additional cost of the Charge 4 worth it?

Hands-on: The Lenovo Flex 5 promises Ice Lake-shattering performance at an affordable price

Lenovo's Flex 5 is one of the cheapest Renoir-powered laptops available right now. While this laptop features a Ryzen 5 4500U for only $600, 360-degree hinges, and stylus support, are the compromises overwhelming, or is this a real sleeper PC?

Well done, AMD. Acer's new 14-inch laptop has AMD's brand-new Ryzen 7 4700U APU on board, which lacks neither CPU nor GPU performance. Good battery life has not been compromised on despite the machine's large computing power, though.

Magical silence. The Magic Earbuds are true wireless earbuds (TWS) that cost less than €100 (~$113; £100). The earbuds surprised us with their good sound reproduction and their active noise cancellation (ANC). Both properties are usually reserved for more expensive earbuds, so Honor has done well in that regard. The Honor Magic Earbuds are not without criticisms, though.

So will the pure performance of the office laptop become a selling point, or has HP even worked on other weaknesses? Our test clarifies.

Annoying little things. The Nokia 1.3 is supposed to convince as a cheap smartphone especially by the price. With a replaceable battery and face recognition for unlocking it would have good beginnings, but it doesn't exactly make everyday life easy for its user due to detail errors.

MSI GS66 Stealth 10SGS Laptop Review: Core i7 or Core i9?

84% MSI GS66 Stealth 10SGS Laptop Review: Core i7 or Core i9?

Redefining the GS series. It's been a long time since we've seen a completely redesigned GS laptop from MSI. The GS66 is a leap forward for the series in terms of visual style and build quality while the new processors are just okay upgrades at best.

Honor Magicbook 14 Laptop Review: A better version of the MateBook D 14?

87% Honor Magicbook 14 Laptop Review: A better version of the MateBook D 14?

How much laptop do you actually need? We really liked the Huawei MateBook D 14 with an AMD processor in our review, and Honor now offers the same device as MagicBook 14 for 50-100 Euros (~$54-$108) less. Is there a catch, or is the MagicBook 14 a recommendation?

85% LG Gram 14Z90N Laptop Review: Lightweight at the Cost of Performance

Under 1 kg. Larger than a Dell XPS 13 but at least 200 grams lighter, the 14-inch LG Gram 14Z90N is one of the lightest subnotebooks you can find with a U-class Core i7 CPU. Expect some steep compromises along the way in regards to performance.

Apple iPad Pro 12.9 (2020) Review: Fine-tuning the Flagship

89% Apple iPad Pro 12.9 (2020) Review: Fine-tuning the Flagship

More than just a tablet. Even though the iPad Pro 12.9 (2020) is cheaper than its predecessor, it comes with superior hardware. For example, Apple has equipped its tablet for professional users with a stronger SoC as well as a new 12-MP camera with a LiDAR sensor. The device is still holding on to the claim of being able to fully replace a traditional laptop.
