AI ready with Meteor Lake vPro. The model can be configured with 14th gen CPUs starting from the Core Ultra 5 125U up to even the Core Ultra 7 165H. However, it's clear that the form factor was designed more for U-series CPUs in mind rather than the more demanding H-series.

Snapdragon X Elite with several downgrades. Samsung has expanded its Galaxy Book4 series with two Snapdragon variants which feature 14-inch and 16-inch screens. The Galaxy Book4 Edge 16 has lots of similarities to the Galaxy Book4 Pro 16 but upon closer inspection, there are quite a few differences—unfortunately mostly negative ones for the new ARM laptop.

We review the high-end model with the Core Ultra 9 185H and the GeForce RTX 4090 laptop. However, is the cooling really better than the type seen in the RTX 4070 and which compromises have had to be struck due to the compact case?

85% OnePlus 12R 5G Smartphone Review: A compelling alternative to the Motorola Edge 50 Pro and Nothing Phone (2)

Competence meets compromise. OnePlus tries a fine balancing act between aspiration and accessibility with the OnePlus 12R. Powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and featuring a 10-bit ProXDR LTPO4 120 Hz AMOLED display, 50 MP main shooter, and a 5,500 mAh battery, the OnePlus 12R seems to have a great success recipe at hand. However, OnePlus has cut a few corners too many to underscore its flagship killer status and keep the price competitive.

KTC H27P22S gaming monitor review: No-frills 4K IPS in 27 inches for under $399

Inexpensive, yet still good 4K monitor. In addition to the more expensive OLED model, KTC also offers a cheaper 27-inch gaming monitor with an IPS panel. Although it doesn't have a KVM switch, dimming zones, or other bells and whistles, you do get a good and fast IPS panel at a low price. We tested the monitor.

A sensible decision! HP offers the Pro Mini 400 G9 as a cheaper alternative to the Elite Mini 800 G9. The manufacturer remains true to the modular design and relies on special energy-saving models for the processors. We took a look at the Mini-PC based on the Intel Core i5-13500T and evaluated its everyday performance and efficiency.

Full suspension. The Joyor S5 stands out. The pushed-out swingarm looks unusual and creates a special riding experience. A rough profile provides an off-road look, a long wheelbase makes room for the feet and a large battery should make long rides possible. We took the Joyor S5 for a spin.

88% Lenovo ThinkPad X1 2in1 G9 review - The high-end business convertible with 120-Hz OLED and without TrackPoint buttons

Standstill on the executive floor? Lenovo has dropped the name Yoga from its flagship convertible for business customers, now calling it the ThinkPad X1 2in1. AI marketing aside, its new Meteor Lake processor offers little performance and its high-resolution OLED touchscreen isn't entirely good. Lenovo also offers an optional haptic touchpad without TrackPoint buttons.

Huawei Watch Fit 3 review - Super precise smartwatch in a new design

Chic and reckless. Huawei gives the Watch Fit 3 a new look - and better sensors. The Watch Fit 3 is not only beautiful, but it also measures body values extremely accurately. It is also inexpensive. We reveal all the strengths and weaknesses of the Huawei smartwatch in this review.

Teclast T65 Max

81% Teclast T65 Max review - A 13-inch tablet at a bargain price

Lots of display for little money. The Teclast T65 Max is swimming against the current. In contrast to many other XXL tablets, the almost 13-inch T65 Max is super affordable, with prices starting from under US$400. Despite this, the Teclast is extremely versatile thanks to its extensive selection of features.

Alienware x16 R2 laptop review: A step sideways from the x16 R1

88% Alienware x16 R2 laptop review: A step sideways from the x16 R1

Core Ultra 9 Meteor Lake update. The latest Alienware x16 R2 gets a new integrated NPU for Windows AI acceleration, but it unfortunately comes at the cost of gaming performance. Users may still want to consider the 2023 Alienware x16 R1 for this reason.

Geekom A8 review: Premium 0.5-liter mini-PC with AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS, 32 GB DDR5 RAM and 2 TB SSD

85% Geekom A8 review: Premium 0.5-liter mini-PC with AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS, 32 GB DDR5 RAM and 2 TB SSD

Compact powerhouse. The Geekom A-series combines excellent performance with an extremely compact form factor. The manufacturer has already proven that this concept works with the Geekom A7. The Geekom A8 is supposed to offer even more performance and is based on the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS, which sounds very promising. We took a close look at the new flagship and analyzed its performance based on numerous benchmarks.

Apple iPad Air 11 (2024) review

90% Apple iPad Air 11 (2024) Gen 6 review - The powerful Apple tablet with an identity crisis

Closer to the iPad Pro? The new Apple iPad Air gets to benefit from the Apple M2 as well as the Pencil Pro—apart from this, its differences compared to the 5th generation are limited. In this review of the iPad Air 6, you can read about why the new 2024 release of the iPad Air continues to lack that pro feeling, and why Apple may want to rethink its product names.

Lenovo ThinkPad T16 G2 AMD Laptop Review: Big ThinkPad even better with Ryzen 7040

90% Lenovo ThinkPad T16 G2 AMD Laptop Review: Big ThinkPad even better with Ryzen 7040

Matte black Phoenix. We already reviewed the Lenovo ThinkPad T16 G2 with Raptor Lake. Now, the Ryzen variant follows. Since the successor T16 G3 is not going to be available with AMD CPUs, the T16 G2 AMD is still an interesting choice in 2024.

Lenovo ThinkBook 13x G4 laptop review: One of the best subnotebooks apart from the keyboard

90% Lenovo ThinkBook 13x G4 laptop review: One of the best subnotebooks apart from the keyboard

Like an XPS 13, but better. Lenovo's ThinkBook 13x G4 is a high-quality and compact subnotebook that delivers solid results in almost all disciplines. The IPS screen in 3:2 format is bright and offers 120 Hz, while the Core Ultra 5 125H is fast and the battery runtimes are also good. However, the ThinkBook falls short in terms of the keyboard and maintenance options.
