Moonlighter. Buyers expect sufficient power for typical applications, low emissions and consumption rates and user-friendly ergonomics from an office laptop in the top-selling price range of around 400 Euros (~$532). Thus, a matte screen would have looked better in Acer's Aspire E1-522 while the installed DVD burner vaguely indicates multimedia suitability.

Intel Core i5-3427U | Intel HD Graphics 4000 | 11.60" | 1.1 kg

Quad-core for the masses. We could not help but remain unimpressed by AMD's Trinity dual-core CPUs. But what about the Kabini quad-cores? And how much of a "real laptop" can be found in Toshiba's low-cost offering? Does the mainstream device exhibit unexpected strengths?
AMD A4-5000 | AMD Radeon HD 8330 | 15.60" | 2.2 kg

Twin Guns. The One K73-3S is the best the mobile gaming market has to offer today. Thanks to dual high-end graphic cards, it leaves the competition in the dust. We put a model through our benchmark tests. Can the Radeon HD 8970M CrossFire set a new record?

Intel Core i7-4702MQ | NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M | 17.30" | 3 kg

All's well that's Haswell. The critically-acclaimed Dell XPS 12 returns with a nearly-identical form factor but an upgraded chipset and battery. With these improvements under its belt coupled with a $1,200 price tag, can it hope to hang with the best?
Intel Core i5-4200U | Intel HD Graphics 4400 | 12.50" | 1.5 kg

Return of a stealth legend. Along with Thief, Dishonored and Hitman, Splinter Cell is one of the few stealth games on the market. With Blacklist, Ubisoft wants to rebound from their not-so-popular Conviction. We are here to analyze for you whether the title will run fluidly on your notebook.

Mediatek MT6589 | PowerVR SGX544 | 5.70" | 195 g

Austerity measures? Following the exceptional BlackBerry Q10, the Canadian manufacturer releases an even less expensive version on the market dubbed BlackBerry Q5. For an RRP of 399 Euros (~$534), the smartphone with a QWERTY keyboard inherits a lot of traits from its Q10 sister model, such as a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus SoC with 1.2 GHz, 8 GB of flash memory and 2 GB of RAM.

Refined water lover. Samsung slips a 5-inch TFT screen with Full HD resolution into a metal frame and fills the remaining space with all the good inner components from their flagship Galaxy S4. Then they IP certify it -- and voilà, the new outdoor smartphone. A superior quality S4? Can it be true?
Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 APQ8064T | Qualcomm Adreno 320 | 5.00" | 151 g

Night owl. Not even one year has passed between the release of Nokia's Lumia 920 and its successor, the Lumia 925. Supposedly, the already great camera has seen further improvements. In addition, Nokia's Windows Phone flagship has been slimmed down and equipped with an AMOLED screen. A simple facelift or an example of successful evolution?
Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 | Qualcomm Adreno 225 | 4.50" | 139 g

The latest Barefoot. The acquisition of Indilinx was an important step for OCZ, as it gave the SSD manufacturer its own, distinct products instead of having to rely on SandForce or Marvell for the most vital circuitry. We have seen what the Barefoot 3 controller is capable of in the Vector. Can the Vertex 450 deliver equivalent performance with the latest revision?
Intel Core i7-3770K | AMD Radeon HD 7850M

Low-cost quad-core. Packard Bell installs the A4-5000 APU in a 17.3-inch laptop and demands less than 400 Euros (~$536) for it. That could add up to an energy-efficient, enduring office laptop or a sluggish, low-performance computer.
AMD A4-5000 | AMD Radeon HD 8330 | 17.30" | 3.2 kg

Intel Core i7-4700MQ | NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M | 15.60" | 2.4 kg

Keyboard-tablet. The little Miix 10 wants to be a tool for devoted Windows users: the advantages of a tablet's mobility but without having to rethink operations. The manufacturer adds a keyboard-case in the box so that typing emails is normal routine. The competition cannot offer this for less than 500 Euros (~$666).
Intel Atom Z2760 | PowerVR SGX545 | 10.10" | 1 kg

Caught in the middle. Lenovo chose AMD APU's Richland generation for the new G505s series. In addition, there is also a dedicated Radeon GPU in the notebooks so that the two graphic cores are working in a Crossfire connection. It sounds like Lenovo is offering a notebook for the economical gamer. Our test determines whether that is true or not.
AMD A6-5350M | AMD Radeon HD 8450G + Radeon HD 8570M Dual Graphics | 15.60" | 2.5 kg

A flood of smartphones and drizzling of tablets. Notebookcheck's test lab was in a frenzy this July. The fault rested wholly on the huge number of new smartphones, since not even a handful of tablets came on the market. And, like in May, Samsung sent a new product to the runway.

Compact camera and smartphone in one device. Samsung extends its new device class with the new Galaxy S4 Zoom. Similar to the Samsung Galaxy camera, our 4.3-inch review unit is a smartphone and a compact camera at the same time and is supposed to combine the best features of both worlds. We put it to the test.

Intel Core i7-4500U | NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M | 15.60" | 2.5 kg

Refreshed. A touchscreen alongside Intel's latest Haswell CPUs should boost the appeal of Dell's refreshed Inspiron 15R. Outstanding battery runtimes and low emissions speak for the 15-incher. But can that compensate for the omitted dedicated graphics card?
Intel Core i7-4500U | Intel HD Graphics 4400 | 15.60" | 2.3 kg

Fast, small mass storage devices. We compare two SSDs with mSATA interfaces. Both of them feature a SandForce controller and synchronous MLC-NAND from Intel. Our test reveals why the Adata XPG SX300 (128 GB) and the Runcore Pro V (120 GB) are nevertheless not identical.

With Tegra 4 to the top? All good things are worth waiting for: Nvidia's Tegra 4 SoC celebrates its long awaited debut.

One plug to rule them all. While traditional ThinkPad laptops have always been afforded the luxury of a built-in docking port, ThinkPad Edge owners have had to survive with less-than-ideal USB-based solutions.
