Imperfect. Lenovo has put a largely useless dedicated graphics card in its new 14-inch convertible. Thankfully, the other components ensure the device can do its job as a mobile office companion. In our detailed review, we will check this model and see how its limited battery life and other flaws stack up in comparison to the competition.

Edge-less. The affordable mid-range model Mars by the Chinese manufacturer Vernee is furnished with a virtually edge-less design besides a very good configuration for the price range. According to the manufacturer, the lateral edges are just 1 millimeter in width. Find out in the report how the smartphone fares compared with the strong competition.

Kaby Lake, Yoga style. Lenovo updates its models and equips the noble convertible with 7th-Gen Intel Core processors. We will find out how the modern ULV processor from Intel performs.
Intel Core i5-7200U | Intel HD Graphics 620 | 14.00" | 1.6 kg

More power, same features. The impressive overclock-ready SC17 is now officially on the Pascal train, but its continuing lack of features puts the notebook at a disadvantage in the 17-inch gaming category.
Intel Core i7-6820HK | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Mobile | 17.30" | 4.1 kg

Evolution. The successor to the MediaPad M2 of 2015 is finally here: please welcome the MediaPad M3. The new model may have almost identical measurements to the predecessor, but it is equipped with a larger, higher resolution panel, a stronger processor and a fingerprint sensor. We will check what Huawei has to offer in our detailed review.

USB Type-C for entry-level price. For a street price of 150 Euros (~$160), the Chinese manufacturer UMi is offering an interesting package: powerful hardware, a 4,000 mAh battery and the modern Type-C USB port are included in the Max model.

The Performance Enigma. Gaming qualities aside: the stealth-action game, Dishonored 2, is not running as smoothly as one would expect. The PC version is suffering from performance drops. In the following review, we will check how the game runs on notebooks.

Too expensive. Lenovo's 15.6-inch all-rounder scores with good equipment, a decent portion of computing power, and gaming suitability. The battery life can only be called mediocre. Furthermore, Lenovo demands an exorbitant price of 999 Euros (~$1058) for the laptop.

Let's get cracking! A word to the wise at the big gaming companies, where they routinely spend millions and put casts of thousands to work developing high-end games. Alongside all those big boys -- like Battlefield, FIFA, and Assassin's Creed -- Germans also delight in playing on a farming simulator. Here's a look at what's up with the latest version, as shown in this benchmark report.

Quiet evolution. The Kaby Lake i5-equipped version of Dell's XPS 13 subnotebook with FHD display impresses with outstanding battery live, great performance and top-notch ergonomics. The display, however, falls a tad short of our lofty expectations.
Intel Core i5-7200U | Intel HD Graphics 620 | 13.30" | 1.2 kg

Cool Pad. The successor of the affordable mainstream model Modena can really live up to the company name Coolpad – the Chinese Modena 2 is one of the "coolest" smartphones we reviewed so far. But can the smartphone convince with more than just cool case temperatures? We will find out.

Multitalented. Would you like a tablet which is also a graphics tablet? Want a keyboard too? The Lenovo Yoga Book Android offers all this and more. We will check how well the device performs in our in-depth review.
Intel Atom x5-Z8550 | Intel HD Graphics 400 (Braswell) | 10.10" | 690 g

War mechs on Speed. Every Fall, we have new versions of single and multiplayer shooter games to evaluate. Alongside the reigning leaders “Battlefield 1” and “Call of Duty Infinite Warfare”, “Titanfall 2” is also seeking to carve out its piece of the gaming pie for 2016. Here, we test its performance on a variety of (Notebook) GPUs.

Steeplechase. Asus treats its 12.5-inch Transformer Book to Intel's Skylake generation and also installs a second battery into the keyboard dock. This gives the new Transformer Book longer stamina. However, the newly gained performance cannot really be utilized.
Intel Core m3-6Y30 | Intel HD Graphics 515 | 12.50" | 1.5 kg

In the shadow of Battlefield 1. Activision launches the latest part of the extremely successful Call of Duty series almost immediately after the launch of EA's excellent World War I shooter. In this benchmark test, we will check whether the graphics can keep up with the main rival or if we are dealing with another frame rate fiasco similar to the predecessor Black Ops 3.

The visionary. Sony wants a revolution: the Xperia XZ aims to change our everyday life. However, with the exception of its 23 MP camera, most of its specifications are quite ordinary. Let us find out what this Sony flagship model is capable of.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 MSM8996 | Qualcomm Adreno 530 | 5.20" | 161 g

Brilliant, even without Touch? The new MacBook Pro laptops have arrived. The most striking new feature: a Touch Bar instead of function keys. Apple still offers a model without this novelty, and wants to target the "entry-level sector" – price: 1699 Euros ($1499). We already have a device in our editorial office and will share our results in this live review.
Intel Core i5-6360U | Intel Iris Graphics 540 | 13.30" | 1.4 kg

Cheap business laptop. Acer offers the TravelMate P249-M for 550 Euros (~$600). This 14-inch notebook is quiet, packs good battery life and it has a three-year warranty. In addition, this TravelMate has keyboard lighting and a free M.2 slot.
Intel Core i3-6100U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 14.00" | 2.1 kg

Surface Follower. A 2-in-1 following in the footsteps of the MS Surface Pro 4 will likely be compared to it. Lenovo's convertible features better connectivity and a better SSD, but the display and the cameras are lacking.
Intel Core i5-6200U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 12.20" | 1.2 kg

Soaring High. Gigabyte wants to join the ranks of Acer, Asus, Alienware, Clevo and MSI by producing high-end notebooks. The gaming expert has grown the Aorus brand into a symbol for powerful gaming PCs. We have looked at the X7 v6 and were impressed with what we found.
Intel Core i7-6820HK | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Mobile | 17.30" | 3.2 kg

Elegant long-runner. The new Zenbook by Asus inherits the best qualities of the series, such as a superb casing and low weight. Apart from the somewhat mediocre input devices, it does not present many shortcomings especially not in the fantastic battery runtimes.
Intel Core i7-6500U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 13.30" | 1.2 kg

Heir to the throne? With the Axon 7, ZTE is about to reach for the smartphone crown. Besides top performance and superb equipment, the 5.5-inch, high-end Android impresses with its Dolby Atmos sound system, which can fill a room with sound.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 MSM8996 | Qualcomm Adreno 530 | 5.50" | 175 g

Entry-level business companion. This 14-inch Acer model has a lot to offer: simple upgrade options, good battery life, fast SSD and a reliable keyboard. The screen is the only weak point of this package: a TN panel with poor viewing angles.
Intel Core i5-6200U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 14.00" | 2.1 kg

Sketchbook for creators. Not satisfied with stylus inputting on a tablet? Lenovo now has the handy solution for all creative minds: Write with ink on paper and work digitally, anyway. The 10-millimeter Book is not an all-rounder, but it can do more than just digitize ink. Find out what this is in our detailed report.
Intel Atom x5-Z8550 | Intel HD Graphics 400 (Braswell) | 10.10" | 695 g

Ultra thin, ultra quiet. Acer's 14-inch system with a thickness of just 11 millimeters certainly looks nice. However, the stability reaches its limits, although the maintainability is great in return. The Kaby Lake ULV is no performance miracle, and it is pretty disappointing compared to its predecessor. Read our review to find out why the display is great but still gets a point deduction.
Intel Core i5-7Y54 | Intel HD Graphics 615 | 14.00" | 1.3 kg

Bombastic? High-end specifications, an excellent camera, and a large battery are supposed to justify the steep price of the google smartphone. The Google assistant and vast storage capacity for photos should do just that. But, is this sufficient?
Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 MSM8996 Pro | Qualcomm Adreno 530 | 5.50" | 168 g

Omen meets Pascal. After other manufacturers of high-end laptops already equipped their systems with the latest Nvidia GPU generation, HP now follows with the Omen series and launches a gaming machine for an appealing price. But is the price-performance ratio right? We will find out.
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Mobile | 17.30" | 3.3 kg

Successful Debut. The subnotebook for gamers - introduced at CES this year - receives an update to Intel's Kaby Lake CPU-generation. The subtle performance increase is welcome, especially in conjunction with the Razer Core eGPU. Razer recently announced the availability of the new Blade Stealth and Razer Core in Germany and many other parts of Europe - good news indeed.
Intel Core i7-7500U | Intel HD Graphics 620 | 12.50" | 1.3 kg

Generation change. Higher processing performance, finally a Full HD display and a faster storage device turn HP's new notebook into a true office all-rounder. Despite these new features, the laptop has also inherited disadvantageous properties.
Intel Core i5-6200U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 15.60" | 2.1 kg

The superior Z? As the cheaper sibling of the Moto Z flagship smartphone, the Moto Z Play can also be expanded via Moto Mods. As well as a larger battery, it is also equipped with a higher resolution primary camera at a much lower price. Our test reveals which features it does not have.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 | Qualcomm Adreno 506 | 5.50" | 165 g

Great visuals. Battlefield once again shows how nice a video game can look nowadays. We will find out what that means for the system requirements for notebooks as well as desktop systems.

Well Connected. Sleek looks, mobile internet and good pricing make the Lenovo Tab 3 10 Business a suitable companion for offices. In this review, we will find out how suitable this tablet is for private use.
Mediatek MT8735 | ARM Mali-T720 MP2 | 10.10" | 509 g

Now in Rose Gold. The Kaby Lake update adds little to an already excellent XPS 13 experience. Users will only see marginal benefits in both performance and battery life when compared to the outgoing Skylake XPS 13.
Intel Core i7-7500U | Intel HD Graphics 620 | 13.30" | 1.3 kg

Cheap and slow. The 6 W Celeron CPU makes for a subpar Windows 10 experience even when equipped with a primary SSD. Quiet operation and long battery life are the main benefits for such a low-power configuration.
Intel Celeron N3060 | Intel HD Graphics 400 (Braswell) | 15.60" | 2 kg

Designer piece. Asus has treated the 5.5-inch ZenFone 3 to premium looks while keeping performance and configuration in mind. The outcome is a good and affordable mid-range smartphone that hardly exhibits any shortcomings in the test.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 | Qualcomm Adreno 506 | 5.50" | 155 g

Zen of wishes? Asus' new tablet with the size of an iPad Mini not only offers good features including WWAN modem and stereo speakers, but it is also comparatively affordable. Does the more expensive competition have a problem?
Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 MSM8956 | Qualcomm Adreno 510 | 7.90" | 320 g

Lacks contrast. Although well-equipped, the entry-level smartphone A8 Max from Blackview sells for only 90 Euro (~$99) - and that even includes shipping. The low-budget smartphone from the Chinese manufacturer scores with a good price-to-value ratio, but is held back by the rather unimpressive contrast ratio of its IPS HD panel.
Mediatek MT6737 | ARM Mali-T720 | 5.50" | 177 g

Compact and enduring, but no more high-end. Sony once again offers a Compact version of its flagship smartphone this year. However, the smaller model will have to make do with slower components from now on. Our review shows why this is not necessarily a problem.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 MSM8956 | Qualcomm Adreno 510 | 4.60" | 135 g

All-rounder with gaming qualities. With the Zenbook UX510UW, Asus has created a successful compromise of a good gaming laptop and all-rounder for everyday use. The slim laptop pleases with a good configuration and good rates. However, the laptop has its shortcomings.
Intel Core i7-6500U | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M | 15.60" | 2 kg

A souped-up GT72. We checked out the GT73VR last month in its 1080p and GTX 1070 configuration and were blown away by its performance and workmanship. The pricier 4K UHD and 1080 SKU is even better, but it makes some sacrifices regarding contrast and colors.
Intel Core i7-6820HK | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Mobile | 17.30" | 4.1 kg

GP107 by Samsung The GTX 1050 Ti is Nvidia's latest addition to its Pascal line-up below the GTX 1060. Our review will show how the 14-nm chip, which is produced by Samsung, performs and whether it can compete with AMD in this price segment.
Intel Core i7-4790K | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (Desktop)

Shaky candidate. The basically good and very long-running premium-range convertible stumbles - of all things - over its redesigned hinges. The manufacturer will have to rework this feature since a shaky display prevents using it in the Laptop Mode. That is all that has to be criticized since the new ZenBook has a lot to offer.
Intel Core i7-6500U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 13.30" | 1.2 kg

Successful debut. Xiaomi delivers its first product into the notebook field with the Mi Notebook Air. The Chinese manufacturer does not do things in a small way and wants to play in a league with established competitors. You can read in our detailed test review whether the upstart can perform such a feat or not.
Intel Core i5-6200U | NVIDIA GeForce 940MX | 13.30" | 1.3 kg

Long lasting. LG's X Power wants to persuade with a gigantic battery and low price. The Korean manufacturer also treats it to a quick-charge feature and USB OTG that allows recharging friends' smartphones. Find out just how long the battery really lasts and whether the smartphone shines in other aspects in this report.
Mediatek MT6735 | ARM Mali-T720 MP2 | 5.30" | 139 g

Great success. The Fujitsu Celsius H760 is a successful example of a classic workstation. Performance, flexibility, quality and ergonomics are the most important characteristics. Our in-depth review shows what else you can expect from the test model.
Intel Xeon E3-1505M v5 | NVIDIA Quadro M2000M | 15.60" | 3 kg

Superlative. If the price is not important and you want the maximum amount of performance, the MSI GT83VR is currently the best solution for fans of desktop replacements. The 18-inch gaming laptop is equipped with two Pascal GPUs in an SLI system. The other components are also state of the art. Our review will show whether the cooling system can handle demanding 3D workloads.
Intel Core i7-6820HK | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 SLI (Laptop) | 18.40" | 5.5 kg

AMD @Business. Around 790 Euros (~$873) has to be put on the table for the ProBook 655 G2. For that, you get a business notebook which delights with good input devices, a robust casing and low operating noise. Unfortunately, it disappoints once again with the screen.
AMD Pro A8-8600B | AMD Radeon R6 (Carrizo) | 15.60" | 2.3 kg

A rounded bundle. Acer's slim laptop pleases with an elegant aluminum casing. The configuration is also fitting: IPS panel, fast processor, SSD. The good battery life, backlit keyboard, and a three-year warranty supplement this.
Intel Core i7-6500U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 14.00" | 1.5 kg

Surprise! A graphics card in an external case - familiar. In the past, this technology has not worked as intended. In this review, we put all that aside and take a look at what the GPU is capable of. Update 10-15-2016: Aspire Switch 12S does not turn into a gamer.
Intel Core i5-6200U | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M | 15.60"

Interesting scenario with technical issues. One thing right away: You will be disappointed if you expect triple-A graphics from “Mafia 3”. The visual quality of the open-world game is average at best. Our benchmark test will show whether this is at least good news for users of low-end and mainstream PCs.

Round 4. The Moto G4 Play may be the cheapest device of the Moto G lineup, but Lenovo has not cut all the corners. In our tests, the 5-inch Android smartphone impressed us with its good price-to-performance ratio, good hardware and long runtimes.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 APQ8016 | Qualcomm Adreno 306 | 5.00" | 137 g

Engine Switch. Every year, football fans get to choose between the two giants, Pro Evolution Soccer and FIFA. The latter has just been released in its 17th iteration with gleaming graphics. We ran FIFA 17 on multiple notebook and desktop GPUs to check how well the game runs.

Slim and fast. Thanks to the new Pascal GPU, MSI now packs high-end performance into a slim laptop. The temperature development is okay and other areas of the GS63VR Stealth Pro are convincing as well, but MSI should have another look at the fans.
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile | 15.60" | 1.9 kg

Pricey yet powerful. Lenovo’s latest P70 configuration features an Intel Xeon Skylake CPU and bumps the GPU to an NVIDIA M4000M, while also introducing NVMe SSD storage. How do these upgrades affect overall performance? And is this still a workstation worth considering today?
Intel Xeon E3-1505M v5 | NVIDIA Quadro M4000M | 17.30" | 3.7 kg

No performance compromises. The unique Aorus X5 is back with Pascal, individually lit RGB keys, and 120 Hz/5 ms FHD display options all in a chassis just under 23 mm thick. Owners will get the same gaming performance as a desktop with GTX 1070 graphics, albeit in a much louder package.
Intel Core i7-6820HK | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Mobile | 15.60" | 2.6 kg

Hottie!Leagoo's M5 is an affordable entry-level smartphone with one great feature - according to the manufacturer, the screen is fracture and breakage resistant should it be dropped. To achieve this, the manufacturer has installed a solid metal frame and an especially hardened glass front. However, this resistance seems to be at the expense of heat dissipation since the M5 presents its hot side in the test.
Mediatek MT6580M | ARM Mali-400 MP2 | 5.00" | 178 g

Limited edition. Only 999 UMi Super Euro Edition smartphones were supposedly released worldwide. The blue smartphone is thus pretty exclusive, although it doesn't differ much from the standard UMi Super. The smartphone from China is great in some areas, but some features are far from "super".
Mediatek Helio P10 MT6755 | ARM Mali-T860 MP2 | 5.50" | 202 g

There is strong shadow where there is much light. It is quite justified to be skeptical about the quality of smartphones sold at a street price of around 75 Euros (~$84). Oukitel, however, proves that a manufacturer can build an appealing device even in the very low-budget sector with its U7 Plus model. Although some compromises have to be made when buying the entry-level smartphone, Oukitel's U7 Plus convinces with its good price-performance ratio in the test.
Mediatek MT6737 | ARM Mali-T720 | 5.50" | 195 g

Inexhaustible. The TravelMate B117-M offers silent operation, very long battery runtimes, and a three-year warranty. At a price of 550 Euros (~$616), it is not one of the cheapest models. The installed SSD and Windows 7 and Windows 10 Pro version are reflected in the price.
Intel Pentium N3710 | Intel HD Graphics 405 (Braswell) | 11.60" | 1.4 kg

Fast, faster, fastest. Two months after the launch of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Founder's Edition, the Nvidia Titan X was introduced to the public on 8th of August 2016. The new Titan X is based on the Pascal architecture, which has significantly improved the performance of the smaller variants. 1024 shader units more than the GeForce GTX 1080, 12 GB GDDR5X VRAM, and a wider memory interface raise hope for outstanding performance. In our review, you will find out how well the higher performance potential can be used and whether there are also points of criticism.
Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 | NVIDIA Titan X Pascal | 32.00"

A vision in white. Although the tester wouldn't want to marry the light and compact, 15-inch multimedia device by Lenovo, he doesn't have anything against a business relationship. The newcomer with a dedicated GeForce 940MX did not really show any major shortcomings in the test. The most striking feature, however, remains to be the unusual color that will certainly also appeal to female users.
Intel Core i5-6200U | NVIDIA GeForce 940MX | 15.60" | 2.2 kg

Small update, no effect?! Dell secretly updated its top seller: The XPS 13 is one of the first models that gets the latest Kaby Lake processors from Intel. The chassis does not appear to be changed, and the display is similar as well. We once again do a live review and will update the article continuously.
Intel Core i5-7200U | Intel HD Graphics 620 | 13.30" | 1.3 kg

Skylake convertible. The Cube i7 offers a fast Core m3-6Y30 SoC, 64 GB SSD, and a 10.6-inch IPS touchscreen for little money. Logically, cutbacks had to be made in many places. We will reveal where concessions have to be accepted in this test of the tablet including a keyboard dock.
Intel Core m3-6Y30 | Intel HD Graphics 515 | 10.60" | 1.4 kg

Pulled parking brake. Apart from its quiet operating noise, Acer's 15.6-inch device does not attract any attention. Unfortunately, the installed Core i5 processor cannot develop its full computing power.
Intel Core i5-6200U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 15.60" | 2.4 kg

The Killer AC 1535 is a high-end ac standard WLAN card, which offers numerous features, with special focus on gamers. In our review, features, such as, MU-MIMU, ExtremeRange and Advanced Stream Detect will be tested.

Disappointing screen. HP's mid-range business laptop pleases with decent input devices, solid casing, good battery life, and low system noise - unlike the Full HD panel that is a disappointment. We expect considerably more from a 1050 Euro (~$1179) laptop.
Intel Core i5-6200U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 15.60" | 2.3 kg

Too hot to handle. We revisit the Clevo P775DM1 as the Eurocom Sky X7E2 with an unlocked LGA 1151 CPU and the fastest Pascal GPU to date. Core temperatures and fan noise are both quite high as expected when such high TDP components are involved.
Intel Core i7-6700K | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Mobile | 17.30" | 4.2 kg

Tangled up in blue. The HP Notebook 15z is a run-of-the-mill, 15.6-inch notebook designed to fulfill basic needs. While it fails to stand out from the crowd, it offers "just enough" performance for everyday tasks and has no real significant shortcomings aside from a fairly high price.
AMD A6-7310 | AMD Radeon R4 (Beema) | 15.60" | 2 kg

An earful. The speakers most manufacturers integrate into their smartphones, tablets and even notebooks often leave something to be desired. One option is to hook up external speakers which can easily be connected via Bluetooth technology. We check three different speaker systems and evaluate their sound quality.

Moto-mania. Not only does Lenovo's new flagship Moto Z feature high-end technology, it also aims to attract customers with its modular expandability and extremely slim design. Does the concept work in practice or are there even any drawbacks such as reduced battery runtimes?
Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 MSM8996 | Qualcomm Adreno 530 | 5.50" | 136 g

Blue marvel. The Honor 8 comes to us in an appealing 2.5D-glass casing and classy colors. But is a stylish casing and dual-camera enough to convince buyers in the highly competitive mid-range? We will find out in our test.
HiSilicon Kirin 950 | ARM Mali-T880 MP4 | 5.20" | 153 g

Lots of hardware for little money. Thanks to a GeForce GTX 950M and a cutting-edge Kaby Lake processor, Acer's Aspire E5-575G should render even sophisticated games smoothly - and this at a competitive price of just 600 Euros ($673). What is the catch?
Intel Core i5-7200U | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M | 15.60" | 2.4 kg

Good Package. The Hewlett Packard Pavilion 15-aw004ng is an interesting notebook. The 15.6 inch allrounder packs a matte FHD screen, a SSD and an AMD dual graphics setup. The price for all these goodies: 550 Euros. A price like that for a packet like this can convince most buyers to look the other way when faced with certain flaws, such as, below-average battery life and a one year warranty.

Well-designed penny pincher. The little-known Chinese manufacturer, UleFone, is offering a new entry-level smartphone. The device may be cheap, but as the name suggests, the UleFone Metal offers a metal finish and good technical features.

Plain, yet Pascal. Gigabyte hasn’t changed much in their latest refresh of the P57 series gaming machines, but the big headliner here is the introduction of newer NVIDIA Pascal architecture GPUs. With a GTX 1070 in charge, is the P57X v6 likely to turn any heads?
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Mobile | 17.30" | 3.2 kg
