Quiet Giant. The Omen 17t is a well-balanced notebook. Its internals are consistently powerful, its 144 Hz G-Sync display is one of the best on the market, and it manages heat and noise with aplomb. With its competitive pricing, the Omen 17t is one of the best overall packages in the gaming laptop market.

Go penning. Samsung’s high-end phablet comes with a revolutionary S Pen, which can be used to trigger the camera remotely or switch slides during a presentation, thanks to its Bluetooth capabilities. A great display is accompanied by an intelligent camera. Whether this is enough to make the Note 9 the best business smartphone of the year, you can learn in our review.

Washboard belly. With a height of just 19.6 mm (~0.77 in), the GS73 Stealth belongs to the slimmest gaming laptops on the market. Despite the compact dimensions, MSI has managed to squeeze powerful hardware under the hood. You can find out in our test, whether this concept is working or the cooling system is overtaxed.
Intel Core i7-8750H | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q | 17.30" | 2.4 kg

Multimedia oddball. Lenovo has outfitted the first 15-inch laptop in its 700 series with exotic hardware, including an i7-7700HQ with a TDP reduced to 35 watts and a 1050 Ti Max-Q. The contender has a lot to offer—a great display, long battery life—but the proverbial fly in the ointment could be a no-go for some people.

TravelMate: The name speaks for itself. What do you expect from a "TravelMate"? A reliable companion that does not run out of juice while on the go and an 08/15 case that is sufficiently resistant to everyday signs of use. The TravelMate offers all of this; however, Acer bargains away a better rating due to some downsides.
Intel Core i7-8550U | NVIDIA GeForce MX130 | 14.00" | 1.8 kg

Refined version. Even faster, LTE by default and with an included digital stylus: The Huawei MediaPad M5 10.8 Pro is the "tuned" sister model of the excellent MediaPad M5 10.8. In our review, we determine whether the tablet can achieve similarly convincing results.
HiSilicon Kirin 960 | ARM Mali-G71 MP8 | 10.80" | 498 g

Extremely wear-resistant. Dustproof. Waterproof. Shockproof. The Poptel P9000 Max with its especially rugged build is aimed at customers looking to use their smartphones outdoors. With a battery capacity of 9000 mAh, this phone is designed for longer periods of time without access to a power source. But is an import of the midrange smartphone worth it? Our review will show.

The Surftab becomes the Primetab. The Primetab T13B, a 2-in-1 tablet with an attachable keyboard cover, is Trekstor's latest contribution to the tablet market. At less than 400 Euros (~$460), the price is already a strong argument in favor of the Windows tablet. Curious what else the Trekstor device has to offer? Our review tells all.

Sharp Comeback. With the Sharp Aquos C10 mid-range smartphone, the manufacturer that is quite successful in Japan also tries to get a foot in the door in the West again as well. Thanks to a good performance and ample screen real estate, the smartphone might be attractive. You can find out in our review whether the comeback is successful.

Shooting Star With the ROG Strix GL504, Asus introduces a 15-inch high-end notebook that brings almost all the features you could wish for in a gaming platform. A 144-Hz panel? Check. Thin display bezel? Check. RGB keyboard? Check. Hexa-core CPU and DirectX-12 GPU? Check. We explain in our test why this is still not quite sufficient for a "very good" evaluation.
Intel Core i7-8750H | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Mobile | 15.60" | 2.5 kg

Awesome hardware, mixed performance. Kaby Lake-G has been impressive thus far, but its overall performance depends wholly on how OEMs implement the hardware. The HP Spectre x360 15 is unfortunately not the best example of the Intel-AMD platform with its substantial throttling issues.

Old book, new page. Huawei's all-aluminum 15.6-inch MateBook D gets Kaby Lake-R hardware and GeForce MX150 graphics. How does the multimedia notebook compare to its otherwise identical predecessor and did Huawei do enough to differentiate the MateBook D from the stiff competition in this segment?
Intel Core i5-8250U | NVIDIA GeForce MX150 | 15.60" | 1.8 kg

Can't take the heat. The Precision 3530 is the latest entry-level workstation from Dell. Powered by an Nvidia Quadro P600 and a new Xeon CPU from Intel, the Precision 3530 is a capable machine. Heat management and fan noise leave quite a bit to be desired, however.
Intel Xeon E-2176M | NVIDIA Quadro P600 | 15.60" | 2.3 kg

Spectre in disguse. The latest model in the super-sleek EliteBook x360 series manages to be even smaller than last year's model. A few features had to be cut, but we think it's well worth the sacrifice for on-the-go business users.

Notch here, notch there – notch everywhere. With Xiaomi's Redmi series, last year's "innovation" from Cupertino has reached the low-priced midrange smartphone market.

Our detailed review includes more information about the Xiaomi smartphone's performance and answers the question whether an import of this midrange smartphone is worth the effort.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 (MSM8937) | Qualcomm Adreno 505 | 5.00" | 213 g

Size matters. Lenovo’s 15-inch isn’t quite up to par with its smaller business offerings, but perhaps today’s configuration—a Core i7-8650U, 16 GB RAM, FHD anti-glare touch display, and NVMe SSD—can help to bridge the gap. We’ll find out in our full review!

Heavy Metal by AMD! AMD has released its new generation of Threadripper APUs following the successful launch of its second-generation Ryzen desktop APUs. The new Threadripper series not only makes incremental improvements over the last generation but also introduces Ryzen APUs with up to 32 cores and 64 threads. These new APUs are AMD’s shot at capturing the high-performance processor crown, something that will no doubt put pressure on Intel. We will be focusing on the Ryzen Threadripper 2950X in this review and establish whether this 16-core APU is worth the investment.

Disappointing display. The Lenovo Yoga 330-11IGM runs on a passively cooled Pentium Silver N5000 quad-core processor that performance-wise is on par with Broadwell Core i3s. The laptop is almost entirely silent and offers good battery life. However, Lenovo's choice of display proves to be a serious blunder.

Stock Android experience for price-conscious users. The Spanish smartphone manufacturer BQ is known for a slim UI very similar to stock Android. The Aquaris U2 is no different in this regard.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 | Qualcomm Adreno 505 | 5.20" | 155 g

Super featherweight. While many manufacturers compete as to who can create the smallest and thinnest laptop, the LG Gram series vows to be the lightest.

Core i7-8086K mobile debut. The Sky X7C manages to fit a Core i7-8086K LGA1151 CPU in a 15.6-inch chassis to make it one of the fastest gaming laptops available. Nonetheless, performance benefits are somewhat marginal. The main draw of the Eurocom laptop continues to be its ease of serviceability.
Intel Core i7-8086K | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Mobile | 17.30" | 4.4 kg

Budget gaming laptop. With the Nitro 5, Acer offers a 15-inch notebook for price-conscious gamers. It features a 6-core CPU, 16 GB of RAM, and a 512-GB SSD for less than 1,500 Euros (~ $1,760). The matte Full HD display is driven by a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti.

More power. Equipped with a 45 W Coffee Lake-H CPU and dedicated graphics, the Latitude 5591 is a more potent version of Dell's 15.6-inch mid-range Latitude 5590. The performance is up significantly, but surface temperature and noise level have increased as well.
Intel Core i7-8850H | NVIDIA GeForce MX130 | 15.60" | 2.3 kg

Intel Core i5-8300H | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile | 15.60" | 2.5 kg

Hexa-core for business. Dell's mid-range Latitude 5000 series gets the Coffee Lake-H treatment and dedicated graphics as well. The new 14-inch model with 45 W processor and GeForce graphics outperforms the sibling with ULV processor, but the additional power draw creates more heat and shortens battery life. The display remains less than impressive.
Intel Core i7-8850H | NVIDIA GeForce MX130 | 14.00" | 1.8 kg

Radiant. The LG G7 ThinQ is the successor to the G6, one of 2017’s first smartphones with a 2:1 display, frequently referred to as an 18:9 aspect ratio. Notably, LG has followed one of 2018’s smartphone trends in designing the G7 ThinQ with a notch. The display is more than its notch though, with the G7 ThinQ being the first smartphone with an mLC display, which can get extremely bright. LG has improved the camera too and iteratively updated the hardware to Qualcomm’s latest flagship SoC. Find out in this review why the G7 ThinQ falls slightly short of the top-tier of current smartphones.

Newly developed design. The Alcatel 5 is supposed to attract customers as the new design flagship of the Chinese company TCL.

Excellent for the price. At only $900 USD, the entry-level MSI GL63 is able to play most if not all modern titles at 1080p with some tweaked settings for smoother frame rates. The stereo speakers are surprisingly decent and fan noise is relatively low for such an inexpensive gaming machine.

Even better than before. This third generation model adds a few new features to last year's model including a NumPad, fingerprint reader, narrower bezels, and a slightly larger battery. Fans are quieter and processor temps are cooler. Physically, however, the system is not any lighter or thinner.

15-inch display in a 14-inch chassis. Schenker Technologies expands its portfolio with an interesting gaming notebook. Not only does the XMG Neo 15 feature a mechanical keyboard, but it also has slim bezels. Is it a serious rival for the Gigabyte Aero 15X, MSI GS65 and the Razer Blade 15?
Intel Core i7-8750H | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile | 15.60" | 2 kg

Lightweight luxury. Compared to its predecessor, the LifeBook U938 is slightly lighter. The biggest upgrade is the quad-core processor, but not much has changed otherwise. Battery life is still decent, but falls short in direct comparison with its biggest rivals.

This GTX 1060 Max-Q SKU is every bit as impressive as the GTX 1070 Max-Q configuration from top to bottom. Assuming, of course, that the asking price of $1900 USD hasn't turned you away.

Pushed to the limit. The P52s is back, this time with an improved screen and a slight bump in processing power. Is the 4K display an improvement for the P52s, or is the display too much for the weak GPU?

Hard to beat. Not everyone needs an i7, dedicated GPU, and WQHD display. Even without those assets, the T480s is still a dependable office companion whose formidable performance exceeds that of many competitors.

Gamer-turned-workstation. Zotac has swapped out the GeForce GTX 1060 in its ZBox Magnus series for the workstation-equivalent Quadro P3000 to create a powerful mini PC for professional users.
