Zotac ZBOX QK7P3000 (i7-7700T, Quadro P3000) Mini PC Review

Zotac ZBOX QK7P3000 (i7-7700T, Quadro P3000) Mini PC Review

Gamer-turned-workstation. Zotac has swapped out the GeForce GTX 1060 in its ZBox Magnus series for the workstation-equivalent Quadro P3000 to create a powerful mini PC for professional users. Temperature and fan noise are excellent when compared to workstation laptops. Some slight throttling behavior at extreme loads prevent this from being a must buy.

Eurocom Q8 (i9-8950HK, GTX 1070, QHD) Laptop Review

Core i9 gamer. Eurocom is skipping the i7-8750H and going straight for the jugular with the more powerful i9-8950HK. Performance is indubitably faster than the last generation Core i7-7700HQ, but some repeatable throttling behavior is holding back the system.

Eurocom Q6 (i7-8750H, GTX 1070 Max-Q, FHD) Laptop Review

Super slim and fast. Last year's Eurocom Q5 has gotten some changes both internal and external, but it's the new processor swap that has us excited. The Eurocom Q6 offers the same GTX 1070-level graphics as its predecessor with Intel's hexa-core Coffee Lake-H CPU.

Schenker Slim 15 L17 (Clevo N751WU, i7-8550U, FHD) Laptop Review

Happy Medium! The Slim 15 L17 is a solid business notebook made by Schenker. On the plus side it is equipped with Intel's latest generation processors, on the downside the case is far from perfect.
