Acer Swift 5 Sneak Peek Preview: Tiger Lake iGPU attacks Entry-Level GeForce

Acer Swift 5 Sneak Peek Preview: Tiger Lake iGPU attacks Entry-Level GeForce

Does the Iris Graphics Xe wipe the floor with MX350 and Vega 7? Despite limited cooling capabilities in a merely 15 mm thin case Acer's Swift 5 featuring Intel's latest Tiger Lake CPU seems to be a giant leap forwards when compared to Intel's 10th gen processor. Even more importantly GPU performance seems to be in a whole different league. Laptops with dedicated entry-level GPUs will have to take note.

86% Asus ZenBook Flip S UX371 Review - Compact Convertible with Tiger Lake and OLED

Tiger Lake meets OLED. Intel's Tiger Lake processors have arrived and one of the first review samples is the brand-new Asus ZenBook Flip S. We have a closer look at the compact convertible with the OLED touchscreen. The graphics performance is increased, but the OLED screen consumes a lot of power.

Schenker XMG Core 15 (Tongfang GK5NR0O) Laptop Review: AMD gamer with a good price-performance ratio

82% Schenker XMG Core 15 (Tongfang GK5NR0O) Laptop Review: AMD gamer with a good price-performance ratio

Ryzen 7 pulls ahead. The configuration we tested costs less than 1500 Euros (~$1745) and is equipped with a powerful Ryzen 7 4800H, an Nvidia RTX 2060, a good IPS display, and a fast SSD. So what's the catch? There really isn't one, even though the XMG Core 15 is far from doing everything right. Particularly the powerful Ryzen improves our subjective impression. All the strengths and weaknesses of the Schenker in the Tongfang case are described in our detailed review.

While there's no SXFI technology involved here, the Creative Sound BlasterX G6 has quite a few highlights that make it a very interesting USB DAC and headphone amplifier for both PCs and consoles. Today, we will try to see who can get the most out of the Sound BlasterX G6 and who should look for something different.

Faster would be appropriate. Will even an inexpensive smartphone like the LG K51S still be allowed to bring Android 9 in 2020? And is it worthwhile to buy it thanks to the quadruple camera and NFC, despite the older operating system? These are just two of the questions we want to answer in this review of the LG cell phone.

Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 3090 Trinity Review — Heralding the dawn of 8K gaming

Ampere's Big Kahuna. NVIDIA announced the Ampere lineup earlier this month and one card that prominently stood out was the GeForce RTX 3090. The RTX 3090 was bigger both in size and specs compared to the RTX 3080 with the promise of sailing easily through 8K workloads. In this review, we subject the Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 3090 Trinity AiB card to our battery of benchmarks to see what the hype is all about. Right off the bat, the RTX 3090 comes across as an extremely capable card with no equal. But whom is this card really aimed at? Read on to find out.

Versatile. The Envy offers a Ryzen 5 4500U APU, 16 GB of working memory (dual-channel mode), and an NVMe SSD. In addition, there is a very good battery life. Not only can the touchscreen be operated with finger input but also with an input pen that is available separately.

With the Pixel 4a, however, the points of criticism have been reduced to a minimum, and a budget smartphone has been created that among other things can shine with its excellent camera.

Huawei MatePad T8 tablet

81% Huawei MatePad T8 Tablet Review - Is the 99-Euro (~$117) tablet worth it?

Has Huawei missed the memo that the current year is 2020? The Huawei MatePad T8 is a sub-100-Euro (~$118) slate. This is why certain compromises had to be made hardware-wise. If you only had the specifications sheet of the MatePad T8 in front of you, you would probably think it was a tablet from 2017, not 2020.

RAVPOWER PD Pioneer 65W 4-Port GaN Tech USB C Desktop Charger hands-on review

RAVPOWER's PD Pioneer series consists of chargers based on gallium nitride (GaN) technology rather than traditional silicon. One variant offers the ability to charge four devices at once with a maximum combined output of 65 watts (W). Therefore, it is clearly meant to appeal to enthusiasts with many favoured devices all clamouring for juice. Can it match up to its convenient unique selling point?

It brings features found in Sony’s DSLR cameras to the Xperia 1 II, which should make photography enthusiasts particularly excited.

87% HP ProBook x360 435 G7 laptop review: AMD Ryzen also shines in the business convertible

2-in-1 powered by Renoir. If the Ryzen 4000 series is already found in regular business laptops, why not in convertibles too? HP probably thought of that when they developed the ProBook x360 435 G7. The result: A convertible laptop that is faster than the competition and that easily outperforms even much more expensive HP EliteBooks.

Almost optimal. With the new Acer Spin 5 SP513, the manufacturer optimizes the 13.5-inch model of the versatile convertible. With Intel Ice Lake, the hardware has improved considerably and there are additional improvements. So has Acer created a convincing overall package here, or are there still some old or even new weaknesses? In addition, the Intel convertible also has to compete with a new AMD heavyweight.

UGREEN offers hub-type products that seek to reinstate them through the medium of one USB type C port. Can this variant restore up to six different types of I/O to the light and portable notebook category?

However, the Mi Note 10 Lite is also significantly cheaper - in this regard, the "Lite" addendum fits.

Fast display. The hardware in the GS66 brings all the latest computer games smoothly onto the matte 15.6-inch screen (240 Hz, FHD, IPS). The rest of the equipment is also right: NVMe SSD, 16 GB of RAM (dual-channel mode), and a Thunderbolt 3 port.

Huawei Y5p

74% Huawei Y5p Smartphone Review – Compact Phone with Deprivation

Is a single camera enough? Even if it looks like more: the large camera module of the Huawei Y5p contains only one lens. This is acceptable at a very reasonable price, but you also have to get used to the missing Google services and the wide display edges. Is it still enough for a purchase recommendation?

Death Stranding laptop and desktop benchmarks
