Powerful model outshines predecessor. We recently tested the Bluetti AC200L, an expandable power station. The powerful model has a built-in 2,048Wh battery and offers various outputs, including up to 2,400W AC. Factors you may want to consider before purchasing include the weight of the power station and a potential issue with two of the four AC outlets. In this review, we compare this AC200L with the older AC200MAX.

Back in the fold. This year's Motorola Razr+ bears an iconic name and lots has been improved on compared to its predecessor: It is now waterproof, charges faster, and it features a larger outer display and new camera system. Is this enough to keep up with the Galaxy Z Flip and co?

Amazingly versatile. Folding bikes are practical and are celebrating a revival. They are transportable and, with an electric motor, also fast. The Engwe P1 also wants to be affordable and score points with its complete everyday equipment. We took the electric folding bike for a ride.

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.

Digital detox deluxe. HMD has brought back the Nokia 3210, a classic feature phone that caused a major craze at the turn of the millennium. The original's 25th anniversary is being celebrated by the addition of countless updates including a color display, camera and internet capabilities. But is the phone still as cool an accessory as back in the day?

16:9 dinosaur. Before testing the newest models of the ThinkPad L series, we take a look back. The Lenovo ThinkPad L14 Gen 4 Intel has many worthwhile attributes for office workers, but falters in a few important disciplines compared to more modern competitors - with the screen as an important example.

No longer a performance pushover. The Inspiron 14 7435 2-in-1 was equipped with Zen 3 Ryzen-U processors and so this year's Inspiron 14 7445 2-in-1 refresh was expected to ship with Zen 4 Ryzen-U options.

Bring on the water. The Neo 16 is currently one of the most powerful laptops: Core i9 14900HX and GeForce RTX 4090 prepare the computer for gaming, streaming and rendering. An optional, external water cooling system squeezes every last drop from the hardware.

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.

ARM Windows 2.0. Qualcomm launches the new Snapdragon X Elite about nine months after the official announcement - with support from Microsoft and all the major laptop manufacturers. We were able to test the small X1E-78-100 as well as the X1E-80-100 and compare them with current chips from AMD, Apple and Intel. Update: Benchmarks of the Snapdragon X Plus (X1P-64-100)

Cyberpunk power bank. The Shargeek 140 is the latest in Sharge's line of high-tech, high-speed power banks. The 20,000mAh accessory debuted as a crowdfunding campaign reward, and also as a hybrid of two of its OEM's earlier creations. Is the 140 more than the sum of its cyberpunk parts?

Ports tower. The docking station offers four display outputs, supports Power Delivery with 100 W and comes with a total of 11 ports.
