Review Snippet

With the Galaxy S26 Plus, we tested Samsung's new flagship chipset. In this conclusion to our review, we look at how the Exynos 2600 performs, how its performance compares to the competition, and whether its power consumption is finally convincing.

The fastest XPS 16 SKU can reach almost 49 dB(A) compared to just 44 dB(A) on the slower Core Ultra 5 configuration.

Which is the better choice: the Galaxy S26 Plus or the less expensive Galaxy S25 Plus? Based on our review and benchmark data, we show where Samsung's new phone really comes out ahead and where the Android phone actually falls behind despite the new Exynos 2600.

The latest midrange Zen 5 CPU doesn't offer significant improvements over the preceding Ryzen AI 5 330 unless if you're talking about integrated graphics performance.

18-inch laptops should, in theory, offer plenty of room for a powerful cooling system. Even so, the Gigabyte Gaming A18 Pro shows that gaming can still get pretty loud.

For just $70 more, the OLED panel makes the entry-level IdeaPad 5 15 convertible feel like you're looking at the display meant for a flagship Yoga Pro 7 model.

The Zenbook A16 is a very lightweight 16-inch everyday laptop, which is extremely powerful thanks to the new Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme processor. The OLED screen looks great, only the battery runtime could be better.

The XPS series in particular hides a bunch of battery settings within Optimizer and BIOS aimed at improving battery longevity.

Qualcomm's Snapdragon X2 Elite processors are here and they offer very good performance figures, even at low power limits. Neither Intel's new Panther Lake generation, nor AMD's Zen 5 generation can keep up.

The performance of the Apple iPad Air 11 (2026) with M4 chip is impressive: It packs a lot of power into a tablet. However, it becomes obvious that performance is not everything and only the combination of hardware and iPadOS determines whether it is really suitable as a laptop replacement.

For one, battery life is only half of the base IPS configuration for a massive difference already.

Don't ignore the "X" in "Core Ultra X7" as this particular processor offers so much more than the standard non-X Panther Lake options.

Despite it being an aging Zen 3 CPU, the Ryzen 7 7735HS can sometimes outperform the recently launched Zen 5 Ryzen AI 7 445 in certain situations.

With the Edge 70 Fusion, Motorola is bringing an unusual idea to the mid-range segment: two versions in different weight classes, depending on whether maximum battery life or an especially lightweight device matters more. In the summary of our review, we highlight each models' respective strengths and weaknesses.

Intel or AMD: The age old question of the PC market. In case of the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 6, both are available. Which one is best for you depends on your priorities.

Releasing the Edge 70 Fusion in two different battery capacities is a brilliant move from Motorola. It lets consumers choose between longer battery life and a slimmer design. In this article, we’ll summarize the pros and cons of each option based on our review.

In our review, Vivo’s gaming flagship performs well in many areas. We are somewhat more critical of the iQOO 15 Ultra’s actual standout feature, however, since its practical benefit in everyday use is limited.

Vivo is not only capable of making flagship phones with fantastic photo quality. Even a gaming phone beats the camera systems of rivals from Apple and Samsung, which now feel dated. Our iQOO 15 Ultra review makes clear why the company currently leads our best-of list.

The Motorola Edge 70 Fusion shows how flexible a mid-range smartphone can be today, as color, battery size, and storage configuration can all be chosen based on individual needs. Our summary of the test results explains which version is worth considering and where the limitations are.

At first glance, the Lenovo Tab K12 looks like the twin of the Idea Tab Plus, but it sets itself apart with 5G, 12GB of RAM, and a business focus. We discuss the real differences in terms of features, box contents, updates, and target group, and which model makes more sense for which type of user.

Gigabyte takes the A16, drops in a refresh CPU and swaps the RTX 5070 for an RTX 5070 Ti—then calls the result the A16 Pro. Is that justified? How much “Pro” is really in this relatively affordable gaming laptop?

It is almost time: Lenovo's next generation ThinkPads are being prepared for the market. The new Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 7 AMD should hit the store shelves in May. But for many customers, waiting is a bad idea: The older ThinkPad T14 Gen 6 AMD is still really good, and it will be much less expensive.

The Alldocube iWork GT Ultra is an attractively priced Windows convertible with solid hardware. For less than 800 euros (approximately US$920), it combines the latest Intel Core Ultra performance with a flexible 2-in-1 design and a high-resolution display. The device is therefore aimed at users who want to be productive on the move without spending a lot of money, but the concept does not come without compromises.

Samsung's new Galaxy Book6 Pro is a good 16-inch multimedia laptop with Intel's Panther Lake mobile processors, but the manufacturer charges $2100 for the SKU with the slow iGPU, which is way too expensive.

Despite its impressive specs, the Oppo Reno15 Pro has a few shortcomings. Here are the three main drawbacks that might dissuade you from buying it, ranging from performance to features.

In our review, the Oppo Reno15 Pro impresses with its premium display, long battery life, and versatile camera. We’ll show you why this mid-range smartphone could be a great choice for many people.

The Gigabyte Gaming A16 Pro combines many features typically found in more expensive, creator-focused machines. So, does the A16 Pro with RTX 5070 Ti work equally well as a mobile gaming laptop and an entry-level creator system?

The Lenovo Tab K12 is fairly light for its size and comes with a number of business features, but it is also interesting for regular buyers. Specifically, the tablet includes a charger, which has unfortunately become a rarity with tablets and smartphones. We summarize our findings from the review.

In our review, this compact Oppo smartphone impresses with a strong overall package and boasts an impressive array of megapixels in its cameras. It also features an exceptional design and many premium features, though there are a few shortcomings. We’ve summarized the key points below.

During our review, the Apple iPhone 17e proved to be a solid smartphone, easily handling everyday tasks and impressing us in particular with its performance and camera quality. As a result, the device will likely appeal to many consumers despite its steep $599 starting price – and being the most affordable iPhone 17 model certainly helps.

The 2026 Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1 16 is now shipping with the fancy new AMD Ryzen AI 7 400 series for $1200 to $1600+ depending on the configuration. The competing Intel-powered HP offers almost the same user experience for significantly less.

Thin, light, and a compact chassis without major compromises in the camera setup: the Honor Magic8 Pro Air showed very good photo quality in our review and clearly reveals the weaknesses of the iPhone Air.

With the Magic8 Pro Air, Honor offers extensive eye protection features against OLED screen flicker. The thin and lightweight Android smartphone includes a dedicated settings menu designed to provide a more eye-friendly user experience despite PWM.

The compact flagship phone looks very similar to the Apple iPhone Air, but that should not distract from the strong overall package of the Magic8 Pro Air. In many areas, the Android smartphone is at least a class above the Apple device.

Don't be fooled by the "Ryzen AI 7" name — this is little more than a rebrand of the existing Ryzen AI 5 340 masquerading as a higher-end option.

The Gigabyte A16 Pro promises a lot: a slim chassis, RTX 5070 Ti, a bright display, and solid battery life—all at a relatively low price. But in everyday use, unexpected weaknesses show up in connectivity, drivers, and efficiency. Can it still deliver as an affordable creator laptop?

The MacBook Pro 14 with Apple's new M5 Max SoC has some flaws, but the overall performance is still excellent and there is hardly a better alternative, especially when you want to edit pictures or videos.

Compact, modular, and powerful: the Khadas Mind Pro is positioned as a versatile mini PC with the latest hardware. Equipped with an Intel Core Ultra X7, 64 GB RAM, and optional extensions up to a gaming PC, the system covers a wide range of applications.

Using a mid-range tablet and a mid-range smartphone, we examine just how much the camera quality actually differs between these two device categories. Do additional lenses and better software really make a noticeable difference?

MacBook's are very popular among content creators and the two new SoCs M5 Pro as well as M5 Max manage excellent results in the PugetBench tests for Adobe apps and DaVinci Resolve. They also clearly beat the mobile GeForce RTX 5090.

The new design may be thinner and sexier than the outgoing design, but running temperatures can become noticeably warmer as a result.

The MacBook Neo is a polarizing device and Apple wants to attract new customers with a starting price of $599 or $499 for the education sector, respectively. There are technological compromises, but you still get the familiar MacBook experience with a comprehensive software package.

The 16-inch laptop just barely cracks 1 W when idling to be much more efficient than most competitors. Real-world battery life tests show the system lasting for more than 24 hours of constant web browsing.

Save yourself some time and money by just going with the cheaper Core Ultra 5 325 instead of the pricier Core Ultra 7 355 as their performance levels are nearly identical.

Apple's new MacBook Air 15-inch is once again a very good overall package and the combination of the powerful M5 processor and passive cooling solution remain unrivaled. There are still some areas where Apple could improve its larger everyday laptop.

Compact, modular, and surprisingly powerful, the Khadas Mind Pro wants to be more than just a mini PC. With Intel Core Ultra X7, 64 GB RAM, and flexible expansions up to a gaming PC, it promises maximum versatility. But how good is its everyday performance really? Our test provides the answers.

The MacBook Pro 16 was already an excellent multimedia laptop with last year's M4 Pro SoC, but the new M5 Pro offers even more performance. You also get faster PCIe 5.0 SSDs with at least 1 TB of storage as well as Wi-Fi 7 for the model year 2026.

When set to Performance mode, the integrated GPU actually underperforms by quite the margin while the CPU may perform slightly faster than expected when compared to other PCs with an identical processor.

The NucBox K13 with Core Ultra 7 256V is just a tad over 500 g compared to 900 g or more for most other mini PCs.

We put the new Huawei Mate X7 up against the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra in a camera comparison. The results highlight the impressive camera performance of the 4.5 mm-thin foldable and temper expectations for the 2026 Galaxy S26 Ultra.
