Compact. The particularly handy design bestows Samsung's new tablet from the 7-inch category with almost smartphone-like traits. However, tight 8 GB of storage and an entry-level SoC curb the fun. Our test will reveal whether the Galaxy Tab A7 convinces in real world use anyway.

Mixed feelings. Toshiba adds another model to the already pretty diverse segment of the 17-inch notebook category. The C70 uses standard hardware and lacks any noteworthy features. Can the notebook distinguish itself from the competition?
Intel Core i5-6200U | NVIDIA GeForce 930M | 17.30" | 3.6 kg

Modular with big eyes. LG's new G5 comes with some new innovations. The smartphone is now modular and has a dual-camera. As well as the conventional lens, there is an additional wide-angle lens, but unfortunately, the resolution is pretty low. The battery capacity has also reduced.

Part multimedia, gaming, and business. The PE60 6QE is a small update over last year's PE60 2QE based on the GE62 chassis. Unfortunately, MSI will have to do more to distinguish its Prestige series from the rest of its gaming lineup.

Low-reflection. The new entry-level Porto S handset by the Chinese company Coolpad proves to be a serious opponent for the popular smartphones of its price range. In addition to the good total package, Coolpad's Porto S convinces with its bright, low-reflection IPS LC display in our tests.

Superb display. Aluminum casing, IPS-display, QXGA resolution, expandable storage, and quad-core CPU for under 200 Euros (~$228)? The Pad 971 from the Chinese manufacturer Haier offers very good specifications for a comparatively low price. In our review it surprises with a great display, but the storage performance is very bad.

Speedy business notebook. The predecessor, the TravelMate P277-MG, left us with a very favorable impression overall. Now we are taking a look at the successor, the TravelMate P278-MG-76L2. A new ULV Skylake CPU provides the processing power, while a GeForce GPU with 2 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD round out the package.

Carbon footprint. We compare our second more affordable Core i5 FHD SKU against the pricier Core i7 WQHD SKU to see if it's worth saving some few bucks for less pixels and performance power.

All play and no work… Known in part for their hulking portable gaming machines, MSI introduced the PX60 Prestige last year, which marked the company’s first foray into the business realm. Can this 2016 refresh correct some of the missteps of the previous model?
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M | 15.60" | 2.2 kg

Flexible workstation. Lenovo wants to establish the flexibility of the Yoga series in the workstation range with the new ThinkPad P40 Yoga. We basically get a ThinkPad Yoga 460 with a dedicated GPU, but the test model reveals some drawbacks.
Intel Core i7-6500U | NVIDIA Quadro M500M | 14.00" | 1.8 kg

New wine in old bottles. Many business customers with enough money to spare have sworn on Lenovo's expensive, but also premium T lineup for several laptop generations. The manufacturer sticks to the tried and tested in its latest 14-inch scion: The input devices and casing are the same as those in the predecessor. Will the screen and technical features once again meet the high expectations?
Intel Core i5-6200U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 14.00" | 1.7 kg

Do-it-all Mini PC. The latest Core i5 NUC from Intel includes Skylake architecture and Intel Iris Graphics. It's capable of a little bit of everything from home use to digital creativity.
Intel Core i5-6260U | Intel Iris Graphics 540 | 640 g

Leica style. Huawei relies entirely on the camera in the P8’s successor, and once again sets up an impressive overall package. The new showcase smartphone is even higher quality and the battery is also larger. However, there is still room for improvement. Update: firmware B391 adds a moments feature to the camera app.
HiSilicon Kirin 955 | ARM Mali-T880 MP4 | 5.20" | 144 g

15.6-inch Chromebook. The Chromebook by Acer offers a long battery life and viewing-angle stable Full HD panel. However, the laptop also costs around 500 Euros (~$576).
Intel Core i3-5005U | Intel HD Graphics 5500 | 15.60" | 2.2 kg

Pioneering. One of the hotly debated devices from Apple's line-up has been updated: The MacBook 12 omits non-essential features and focuses on highest portability. Fan, many interfaces, a mechanical touchpad, a long key travel: "You don't need that."
Intel Core m3-6Y30 | Intel HD Graphics 515 | 12.00" | 927 g

Unsatisfactory screen. HP again delivers a decent, upper-range business laptop with its new EliteBook 850 G3. Unfortunately, the company has made a big mistake with the choice of the installed screen, which ruins the otherwise good impression that the device makes.
Intel Core i7-6500U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 15.60" | 1.9 kg

Enduring. Dell's little netbook adds color to the desk and can offer a very good battery life. At around 250 Euros (~$284), the laptop is on the same price level as its rivals.
Intel Celeron N3050 | Intel HD Graphics (Braswell) | 11.60" | 1.2 kg

Great display, but expensive. The new EliteBook Folio 1040 G3 is the current premium model from HP. This is also the case for the price, but can the test model justify the additional price over the strong rivals?
Intel Core i5-6300U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 14.00" | 1.4 kg

Ultra-slim model. It should be a well-known fact that nowadays gaming laptops can be very slim. Schenker Technologies take it to extremes and sells a slim 21-millimeter (~0.83 in) premium-range model based on Gigabyte's P35X v5 in the form of the XMG C506. Can the cooling system manage the heat development?
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M | 15.60" | 2.4 kg

Business Elite. With the Elite x2 1012 G1, HP takes on Microsoft's Surface Pro 4. The convertible offers a keyboard dock, an active stylus and an LTE modem. At almost 1500 Euros (~$1690), the complete package doesn't come cheap, however.
Intel Core m5-6Y54 | Intel HD Graphics 515 | 12.10" | 1.2 kg

Just missed. With the third generation 840-series EliteBooks, HP has big ambitions aiming to compete with the best lightweight business notebooks. But there is a problem that already has a traditional link with the manufacturer.
Update 04/18/2016: Excellent WQHD panel
Intel Core i7-6500U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 14.00" | 1.6 kg

One is better than two. The refreshed X5 shows that a single more powerful GPU is the better choice against two weaker GPUs in SLI.

The perfect business slate? Dell's Latitude 11 5175 is a Windows tablet that offers a generous portfolio of extensions for its customers. Is that enough to find buyers?

Power dwarf. The less expensive versions of the iPhone have not been a real success so far. This could change with the iPhone SE, because it is very fast, enduring and fills a niche with its 4-inch screen.
Apple A9 | Apple A9 / PowerVR GT7600 | 4.00" | 113 g

Endurance runner. Acer's 13.3-inch subnotebook shines with an outstanding battery life and a fast SSD. However, the screen is disappointing.
Intel Core i5-6200U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 13.30" | 1.5 kg

Intel Core m3-6Y30 | Intel HD Graphics 515 | 12.10" | 693 g

Allrounder. Asus sells their 15.6-inch allrounder-notebook for around 600 Euro (~$680). The F555UB can handle gaming and is capable of very decent battery run times. The display and the keyboard are not nearly as impressive.
Intel Core i5-6200U | NVIDIA GeForce 940M | 15.60" | 2.3 kg

Careful update. With the Liquid Z630S, Acer launches an improved version of the Z630 sister model on the market. The "S" in the name stands for more working memory, a stronger processor, and larger internal storage. Find out in our report whether the surcharge is worthwhile.
Mediatek MT6753 | ARM Mali-T720 MP4 | 5.50" | 156.3 g

Let down by the display. The third generation of the HP EliteBook 820 is a compact subnotebook with a 12.5-inch screen, which is designed for business environments. Our review configuration, however, is unbalanced, because besides good performance, you also get a very poor TN screen. Coil whining is a problem for the small notebook as well.
Intel Core i5-6300U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 12.50" | 1.3 kg

Low cost office all-rounder. HP's 250 G4 is a basic, 15.6-inch office laptop. It offers a decent configuration for a reasonable price. However, we cannot say a lot of good things about the screen.
Intel Core i5-5200U | AMD Radeon R5 M330 | 15.60" | 2.1 kg

GTX 965M gaming. Not content with a GTX 960M and is the GTX 970M a bit too much? Then the GTX 965M may be your best bet.
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M | 15.60" | 2.6 kg

Compact gaming. In the past, high-end notebooks were both large and heavy. Schenker's XMG P506 puts an end to that notion. In our review we'll take a look a the top version with Core i7-6820HK and GeForce GTX 980M.
Intel Core i7-6820HK | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M | 15.60" | 2.8 kg

Small hot-head. Quad-core processor and a discrete GeForce GPU implemented into a compact 14-inch case – the ThinkPad T460p is definitely not your regular business notebook. The good performance does, however, also result in high temperatures.
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce 940MX | 14.00" | 1.9 kg

HDD handbrake. We did not find many reasons for complaint in Toshiba's new 1200 Euro (RRP) subnotebook. The useful dual-core alongside a very satisfying RAM configuration fits perfectly to the office claim, and a decent IPS screen is never wrong.
Intel Core i5-6200U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 13.30" | 1.6 kg

Smaller, yet powerful! With the smaller 12.9-inch sibling of the big iPad Pro, Apple also offers a strong competitor to the iPad Air 2. We have already reviewed the elegant power tablet with the iPhone camera. Even though it is once again an exemplary product, there is still room for improvements.
Apple A9X | Apple A9X / PowerVR Series 7XT | 9.70" | 444 g

Enduring. The Ideapad is a 17.3-inch laptop for the desktop at home. It scores with low operating noise, temperatures, power consumption and a long battery life.
Intel Core i5-6200U | AMD Radeon R5 M330 | 17.30" | 3 kg

Lightweight. This is premium range business for well-heeled customers: The entire who-is-who of laptop technology is on-board for 2000 Euros (~$2252). Unfortunately, there is also some conservative equipment. A modern USB Type-C? - Not in sight. On the other hand, plenty of security and productivity features like a docking port, LTE modem and TPM are present.
Intel Core i7-6500U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 13.30" | 1.2 kg

Compact gamer. The thin gaming notebook from Asus can convince with good features as well as measurements. The lack of an Ethernet port is unusual for a gaming notebook, but the device has a Thunderbolt 3 port instead.
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M | 15.60" | 2.1 kg

Yoga-ized. Lenovo's flagship business Ultrabook - the Thinkpad X1 - gets the Yoga-treatment and joins the company's every-growing stable of 2-in-1 convertibles. How the new offspring with its active stylus compares is the subject of our review.
Intel Core i7-6500U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 14.00" | 1.4 kg

Multimedia Metal. With the MediaPad M2 10, Huawei has managed to launch a multimedia tablet on the market that has an edge on other devices in this price range, such as high-resolution cameras. We will prove that that is not the tablet's only virtue in this test.
HiSilicon Kirin 930 | ARM Mali-T628 MP4 | 10.10" | 500 g

Slimmer is not possible. Already the third generation of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon belonged to the slimmest and lightest 14 inch notebooks on the market. In the fourth generation, Lenovo goes one better and reduces the weight to below 1.2 kg. We have checked how this affects temperatures, system noise, and performance.
Intel Core i7-6500U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 14.00" | 1.2 kg

Large and inexpensive. Can a 5.5-inch Android smartphone for less than $100 USD really impress? The Alfa 1 provides the bare essentials and performance with a brighter screen than expected.

4K for on the go. Dell wants to advance the convertible sector by setting new standards with the new 2-in-1 XPS 12 9259. A 4K panel, 512 GB SSD and Core m7 are some technical highlights that Dell offers. The XPS proves to be a real jack-of-all-trades in routine use but has to accept clear deductions when it comes to battery performance. Find out in our in-depth report what the total package has to offer.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 MSM8994 | Qualcomm Adreno 430 | 5.50" | 202 g

Mid-range from France. Archos' Diamond S is a solid mid-range smartphone that does not present many shortcomings in the test. But is that enough to stand up to the strong competition?
Mediatek MT6753 | ARM Mali-T720 MP4 | 5.00" | 118 g

Extremely expensive, extremely good? HP’s mobile workstations are traditionally some of the most expensive devices on the market. This did not change with the new ZBook 15 G3. But can the notebook for 4,000 Euros (~$4558) meet our high expectations?
Intel Xeon E3-1505M v5 | NVIDIA Quadro M2000M | 15.60" | 2.6 kg

Resistant? Oukitel advertises it K4000 smartphone lineup as particularly resistant. The manufacturer claims that it will even cope with blows from a hammer or can be used for hitting a nail in wood. Our report reveals whether the quality of the screen in Oukitel's K4000 Pro is also impressive.
Mediatek MT6735 | 5.00" | 250 g

Gaming scion. With the P57W, Gigabyte presents a high-end notebook in 17-inch format, which brings various modern features and technologies. Apart from a replaceable drive bay, the manual fan control stands out. Do rivals have to prepare for strong competition?
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M | 17.30" | 3.2 kg

Asynchronous. The combination of a dedicated Radeon R7 M360 with the integrated GPU of the SoC FX-8800P is a Crossfire unit called Radeon R8 M365DX and could not really convince in our review. The other aspects leave a better impression.
AMD FX-8800P | AMD Radeon R8 M365DX | 15.60" | 2.4 kg

Solid. Dell's 10.1-inch Windows tablet comes with an impressive list of features: 128 GB of flash storage, LTE modem, and an IPS display. At 662 g (1.46 lbs), the Venue 10 Pro isn't exactly a lightweight, however.
Intel Atom x5-Z8500 | Intel HD Graphics (Cherry Trail) | 10.10" | 662 g

New benchmark. A laptop rarely manages such a high score. Can the expensive WQHD version meet the highest expectations? To say it right away, the battery runtimes are a bit disappointing, but the rest of the 14-inch device will be the benchmark for the ultimate business to go.
Intel Core i7-6600U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 14.00" | 1.7 kg

Performance artist. The fifth edition of Aorus' X7 is one of the strongest and yet slimmest gaming laptops on the market. Find out in our test report whether the manufacturer has this combination well under control or whether the cooling system is pushed to its limits.
Intel Core i7-6820HK | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M SLI | 17.30" | 3.3 kg

Back in style... for a price. The Vaio convertible has returned to North America with a starting price tag much higher than other Ultrabooks currently in the market. What does the Flip have under the hood to justify its nearly two-fold MSRP?
Intel Core i7-6567U | Intel Iris Graphics 550 | 13.30" | 1.3 kg

Well-balanced. Thanks to a quad-hinge design, which allows the display to swivel into several different positions, the Aspire R13 supports a variety of usage modes. The hardware is noteworthy as well: Core i7 CPU, WQHD display, and Thunderbolt 3 port.
Intel Core i7-6500U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 13.30" | 1.5 kg

Also a success with the base specs? After the high-end version of the ThinkPad T460s could already convince us, we now have a look at the base configuration. The Full HD panel in particular, however, cannot fulfill the high expectations.
Intel Core i5-6200U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 14.00" | 1.4 kg

Promotion. Dell improves the performance and stamina of the new Latitude 5000 models and creates a successful working device for the business world. Thanks to exemplary battery runtimes, the new Latitude will even survive long business days.
Intel Core i5-6300U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 14.00" | 1.8 kg

Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M | 15.60" | 2.6 kg

Sets standards! The Galaxy S7 Edge is certainly not a bundle of groundbreaking innovations, but it fuses state-of-the-art premium technology in its casing and is presently rightly considered as the reference model of its class. However, there are some points of criticism and we would have wished Samsung had been a bit more intrepid in some points.
Samsung Exynos 8890 Octa | ARM Mali-T880 MP12 | 5.50" | 157 g

The subtle differences. At a first glance, Acer's One 10 and the Aspire Switch 10E that we tested quite a while ago seem to be very similar. A closer look, however, reveals several (mostly sensible) modifications - but changing to a newer processor architecture is not one of them.
Intel Atom Z3735F | Intel HD Graphics (Bay Trail) | 10.10" | 1.2 kg

Low-cost Surface alternative. The old Surface Pro 3's screen, aluminum casing, up-to-date Atom and Windows 10 for an affordable price of 232 Euros (~$259) sound tempting. Read where Chuwi had to make cutbacks in the following test report.
Intel Atom x5-Z8300 | Intel HD Graphics (Cherry Trail) | 12.00" | 825 g

Highly polished. With "Need for Speed", publisher EA relaunches their successful racing series. The arcade-style racing game might lack substance, but the technology behind it is top notch. Our review takes a look at how different noteboook GPUs cope with the title. Update: we've added additional notebook and desktop benchmarks for the 940MX, Fury Pro, R7 370, ...

Outdated? Lenovo’s new ThinkPad P50s is the successor to the ThinkPad W550s. Despite the compact dimensions, users of the mobile workstation are supposed to get sufficient performance. Similar to the predecessor, however, the system lacks a bit of CPU performance, and now there is also a strong competitor from Lenovo themselves.
Intel Core i7-6500U | NVIDIA Quadro M500M | 15.50" | 2.2 kg

AMD A6-7310 | AMD Radeon R5 (Beema/Carrizo-L) | 17.30" | 2.7 kg

Well-conceived. The Pro version of Lenovo's 10-inch Yoga tablet is in a completely different price range than its smaller members. This is also noticed in all areas, starting with the casing over the screen, the integrated projector - even the accessories are higher quality. Moreover, the good battery life makes the device a really decent tablet.
Intel Atom x5-Z8500 | Intel HD Graphics (Cherry Trail) | 10.10" | 665 g

Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M | 17.30" | 3.2 kg

Tough. According to Motorola, the Moto X is the very first smartphone in the world to have an unbreakable screen. However, our test shows that the 5.4-inch handset not only comes with a decent amount of resistance, but it also convinces with plenty of other first-rate configuration features.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 MSM8994 | Qualcomm Adreno 430 | 5.40" | 169 g

A success. Schenker's S306 is a slim 13.3-inch subnotebook that shouldn't have any problems finding an audience. The S306 is equipped with a beautiful IPS Full-HD display, a good keyboard and it's easy to maintain as well. The battery life could be better, however.

Debut of DirectX 12. Windows 10 launched with full DX12 support and Hitman - as one of the first titles released for the PC platform - supports it. Instead of improving the gaming experience, the new interface seems to be the source of frustration on quite a few systems. Here's our report, complete with the benchmark results.

Exploring new worlds? Exploring new worlds? Faster SoC, larger battery, better camera, premium display, and great design. The S-class from Samsung signifies excellence and our expectations are accordingly high. Usually these are also fulfilled, but the Galaxy S7 has some weaknesses.
Samsung Exynos 8890 Octa | ARM Mali-T880 MP12 | 5.10" | 152 g

Everything but battery mode, please. A successful build and configuration are omnipresent. Compared with its predecessor, the casing looks slimmer and that is a positive. Quad-core, GeForce GTX 950M graphics card and 8 GB of DDR4 working memory lead us to hope for a gaming-suitable multimedia all-rounder.
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M | 15.60" | 2.5 kg

4K Nitro. The latest premium model from the Aspire VN7-592G lineup boasts with its configuration: Razor-sharp 4K panel, 16 GB of RAM, SSD + HDD. With a price of almost 1900 Euros (~$2146), it is not made for everyone. Positive: Despite maximum hardware equipment, the battery life has improved compared with the former model.
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M | 15.60" | 2.3 kg

Longer lasting. Lenovo's ThinkPad L460 does not offer many new features. The Skylake processors provide a bit more computing power, and the L440 clearly has a longer battery life. Unfortunately, Lenovo does not install a docking port in the L460 models furnished with AMD graphics cards.
Intel Core i7-6500U | AMD Radeon R5 M330 | 14.00" | 1.9 kg

Trendsetter? "The Division" combines both action and role-playing elements into a thrilling online / multiplayer experience. Does the game's technology make the competition look old as well?

Big screen, affordable price. The MSI GT72 may be the flagship model, but there are plenty of mainstream options from the same manufacturer. We check out the new GL72 starting for just under $1000 USD with GTX 960M graphics to see how it compares in the budget gaming market.
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M | 17.30" | 2.8 kg

Premium allrounder, light edition. Not long ago, we reviewed the Acer Aspire V5-591G-71K2. That notebook - equipped with a modern Intel quad-core CPU and a GeForce GTX 950M - particularly impressed us with its performance. How does the sibling with slightly less powerful hardware components and a lower price fare in comparison?
Intel Core i5-6200U | NVIDIA GeForce 940M | 15.60" | 2.3 kg

On the way to perfection? Lenovo's T460s is proof that even an excellent notebook like the T450s can be improved. No device from the T4x0s series was ever so light and at the same time so powerful – but users will have to waive expandability and maintainability in return.
Intel Core i7-6600U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 14.00" | 1.3 kg
