Simple and clean. The Ultimea Apollo P40 is a solid LCD projector with a bright lamp, good speakers, and enough smarts to make it suitable for a business setting. However, it is not a great option for those that want an all-in-one projector due to its lack of Android TV or streaming apps.

Thunderbolt and DCI-P3, yes or no? In contrast to Dell's Alienware series, the Dell G16 covers the mid-range segment of gaming laptops. The 2024 model relies neither on Intel's new Gen 14 chips nor on its Ultra CPUs—but in turn, its price is kept relatively low and on paper, it features a decent display. Our detailed review will uncover the laptop's strengths and weaknesses.

Co-op shooter. Helldivers 2 has climbed pretty far up the Steam charts within a short time after its release. This is enough reason for us to take a closer look at the hardware requirements of this promising title.

Raptor in sheep's clothing. The Core i7-14700K stands out in the Intel 14th gen Raptor Lake-S Refresh lineup with 20 cores and 28 threads. While the Core i7-14700K comes very close to the pricier Core i9-13900K, AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, and the Ryzen 9 7950X3D in overall CPU performance, things aren't as straightforward in gaming.

A glimpse into the foldable tablet future. The 2021 ThinkPad X1 Fold 13 felt like an early experiment with a lot of rough edges and performance limitations.

EliteBook for drawing. Convertible laptops are not the bulk of the market, but for users who need the pen and touch, they are indispensable. The HP EliteBook x360 830 G10 goes for the business side of the market, going head to head with the likes of the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Yoga Gen 4.

New look – old qualities. The cheapest model of the Redmi-Note-13 series continues to feature a bright 120-Hz AMOLED display and apart from this, it boasts decent features for around US$200. However, the competition keeps growing. Can the newest version of the mid-range classic still keep up?

Bargain flagship phone? After a long time, Nubia is once again selling one of its flagship phones globally. And the device is pretty remarkable: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, UDC, IP certification, a unique triple camera setup and much more. You can already get one for less than €700 (US$600). A true hidden gem?

Charging is optional. Not many manufacturers would dare to build a smartphone that is 2.7 centimeters thick and weighs almost 580 grams. But the huge Oukitel WP33 Pro also has a lot to offer: Several days of non-stop operation, night vision camera and a holding strap. A great working device or madness?

Evolution. The Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro is evolving from a niche product into a mainstream favorite. With the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a whopping 24 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage, the 6.78-inch device will certainly win the hearts of gamers. In our review, it also proves to be a strong all-rounder with a discreet design and plentiful features, giving competitors such as the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max a run for their money.

Affordable and compact. The Galaxy Tab A9 is a compact tablet with long software support for people on a budget. During our review, the €170 (US$160) Samsung tablet surprised us with a bright display and offers a comprehensive set of features. But read on to find out whom this tablet isn’t for.

Super-lative to the RTX 3090. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super retails for the same original price of US$599 as the RTX 4070 while offering nearly 21% higher shader counts. We evaluate how this benefits synthetic benchmarks and games in comparison with other cards, particularly against Team Red's offerings such as the Radeon RX 7800 XT that retails for US$100 less. Updated with thermals and noise measurements.

Worse performance than expected! The Maxtang MTN-FP750 is a relatively unspectacular mini PC and, in its more powerful variant, it comes with an AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS. We put the compact office PC, its 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB SSD through its paces and analyzed its performance.

Flagship. The Scar 18 is currently one of the most powerful laptops. The Core i9-14900HX and GeForce RTX 4090 enable 4k gaming, video processing, and rendering. The bright and vibrant mini-LED display (18 inch, 2560x1600 pixel) is a feast for the eyes.

The biggest competitor to Apple's MacBook Pro 14? The new ROG Zephyrus G14 hasn't set its focus on maximum performance anymore—instead, Asus aims to speak to a larger audience with the help of the laptop's slimmer and more compact aluminum case. The result is an astounding gaming/multimedia hybrid that offers great performance and only features a handful of weaknesses.

Huge screen for little money. At around $200, Lenovo's Smart Projector sounds like a steal. Wi-Fi 6, 1080p resolution, Miracast, auto-focus, decent brightness, smart speaker mode, USB pen drive support, several color options to choose from. Regrettably, things are not as good with this projector as it would seem.

Reading in XXL format. At 13.3 inches, the Onyx Boox Tab X is one of the largest e-ink tablets on the market. Thanks to the Android operating system, it offers app support and therefore enables a wide range of applications. Find out how the tablet performs in our comprehensive test here.

Nearly smashes the pavilion. HP aims to tap into the burgeoning entry-level creator market with the Pavilion Plus 16. The Pavilion Plus 16 is among the few laptops to feature the RTX 3050 6 GB GPU along with a Core i7-13700H, 16 GB RAM, and a QHD+ 120 Hz IPS display. While decent in its own right, comparison with similar laptops shows HP could have minimized some of the compromises for an even more compelling ₹1,24,999 (US$1,350) proposition.
