Realme X3 SuperZoom Smartphone Review - Scores some major points thanks to attention to detail

84% Realme X3 SuperZoom Smartphone Review - Scores some major points thanks to attention to detail

At a second glance. The two main features of the Realme X3 SuperZoom are the 5x periscope zoom and a 120 Hz screen. On paper, the powerful Realme smartphone with the Snapdragon 855+ and plenty of RAM should be superior to other devices in our review. However, that is not the case, at least as far as the raw performance is concerned. That being said, the Realme flagship offers great data transfer speeds, thanks to UFS 3.0 memory and a 2x2 MIMO modem.

HP ProBook 450 G7 Core i7 Laptop Review: Is It Better Than The Ryzen 7 ProBook 455 G7?

81% HP ProBook 450 G7 Core i7 Laptop Review: Is It Better Than The Ryzen 7 ProBook 455 G7?

How the turn tables. It used to be that users would buy AMD laptops over Intel knowing full well that the less expensive AMD laptop would be slower. The latest Ryzen processors have flipped this upside-down to not only be cheaper, but also faster than the Intel version. We compare the Intel ProBook 450 G7 to the AMD ProBook 455 G7 to see just how much of an advantage the latter has over the former.

Motorola's first stylus phone. An affordable smartphone with a stylus - usually, this combination is a rare sight. However, Motorola is stirring the pot by making the Moto G Pro an interesting proposition: For 330 Euros (~$390), buyers get a 6.4-inch mid-range smartphone with an integrated stylus and Android One.

Inferior. Last year’s Lenovo ThinkPad T490s won our "Editor’s Choice Award“. The successor, the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s with Comet Lake-based Intel CPUs is just as good. However, because there is a more attractive option with an AMD chip, the Intel-based ThinkPad T14s Gen 1 is not going to sell as well. Read our review to learn why.

Offside. This year's T-series ThinkPads have only received minor updates. Nevertheless, the smaller 14-inch models have improved quite a bit in regard to performance thanks to AMD Ryzen 4000. This cannot be said about the larger ThinkPad T15 Gen 1 though as it lacks the Renoir option entirely and has to make do with Intel's Comet Lake. Our extensive review revealed that this can be a major show-stopper for the large T-series ThinkPad.

For the moving office. 15.6-inch screen sizes have traditionally not translated so well into convertible form factors due to the sheer size and weight involved. The Latitude 9510 2-in-1 mostly circumvents this by narrowing the bezels even further and reducing the screen size to 15.0 inches instead.

80% MSI Bravo 15 A4DCR Laptop Review: For bargain hunters

AMD set to attack. Longstanding market leaders in terms of performance, Intel and Nvidia are increasingly experiencing pricing pressure. This is the "fault" of devices such as the MSI Bravo 15, which we have tested in its configuration with a Ryzen 7 4800H and a Radeon RX 5300M.

88% Lenovo ThinkPad T14 laptop review: Comet Lake update doesn't add much

New name but not much new otherwise. ThinkPad T400, T410, T420, T490. Lenovo's ThinkPad T series has followed the same naming scheme for more than a decade. That changes with the Lenovo ThinkPad T14, the latest model in the mainstream ThinkPad series for enterprise customers. But apart from the new name and a small CPU update, which provides a doubtful usefulness, there's not much new.

Budget gaming laptop. Lenovo's mid-range gaming laptop brings all modern computer games smoothly onto the matte 120 Hz display (Full HD, IPS). At a price of about 800 Euros (~$907), it doesn't make that big of a dent in your wallet and can boast a good price-performance ratio. Good: The laptop has room for two NVMe SSDs.

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.

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.

83% Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Review: Lite version of the flagship tablet with S-Pen

Creative station. Similar to the flagship Galaxy Tab S6, the less expensive Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is also shipped with the digital input pen S-Pen. However, the 10.4-inch tablet only costs half of the flagship and almost looks identical, but there are some internal changes. We review the Lite version of the tablet.

Sharkoon Light² 200 gaming mouse hands-on: Feather-light but full of features

Sharkoon's lightest wired gaming mouse to date, the Light² 200, provides excellent value for money. With a price of less than US$50, it has an accurate 16,000 DPI optical sensor, attractive RGB lighting, durable Omron switches, and an excellent software companion for managing all its features.

HP Envy 17t (Core i7-1065G7, Nvidia MX330, 4K) Laptop Review

81% HP Envy 17t (Core i7-1065G7, Nvidia MX330, 4K) Laptop Review

Silver linings. The HP Envy 17t is a well-crafted 17-inch laptop, but its beauty is only skin deep. Some of its components are major standouts, most notably the screen. 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.

Fitbit Charge 4 Fitness Tracker Review: Twice as expensive as the Huawei Band 4 Pro and also twice as good?

Fitbit Charge 4 Fitness Tracker Review: Twice as expensive as the Huawei Band 4 Pro and also twice as good?

Not a bargain. The Fitbit Charge 4 is a new activity tracker that replaces the Charge 3 predecessor. While the monochrome display remained, GPS and the SpO2 measurements are new. 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?

Samsung Galaxy Tab Active Pro (LTE, SM-T545) Tablet Review: Outdoor expert with exchangeable battery

84% Samsung Galaxy Tab Active Pro (LTE, SM-T545) Tablet Review: Outdoor expert with exchangeable battery

Unbreakable. The 10.1-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab Active Pro is protected against dust and water to a large degree and even has an exchangeable battery, which ensures a very long battery life. On top of that, you get a surprisingly wide range of features for a rugged tablet, including the Samsung S pen, NFC, a fingerprint reader and a good 13-MP camera.

2020 Razer Blade Stealth GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q Laptop Review: Like the 2019 Version, But Done Right

85% 2020 Razer Blade Stealth GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q Laptop Review: Like the 2019 Version, But Done Right

Ultrabook powerhouse. After fumbling with the 2019 options, the 2020 Blade Stealth is what the 2019 version should have been especially in regards to the Ice Lake processor. The graphics potential is insane considering the small 13.3-inch chassis.
