Ryzen vs Ryzen vs Core. Last year, the AMD-powered ZenBook 14 had a slight edge over the Intel version. This year, however, it also has to go up against its own strong predecessor. Let’s see how this three-way showdown plays out.

Intel or AMD ZenBook? Intel Evo or AMD Ryzen AI ZenBook – which one takes the crown this year as the better subnotebook? Which is lighter, faster, or simply the more well-rounded package? We pit the silver Intel ZenBook 14 with Core Ultra 7 255H against the black AMD ZenBook 14 with Ryzen AI 7 350.

All-rounder in a class of its own. The Minisforum MS-S1 Max combines the most powerful mobile hardware currently available in a compact casing. With the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395, 128 GB of RAM, and the Radeon RX 8060S, the Mini PC offers the best conditions for serious gaming and workstation power. The key question: Will it be one of the top mini PCs of 2025? We have the answers in our review with numerous measurements and benchmarks.

Artificial intelligence issues. Vidu.com claims its AI can generate videos with consistent characters and environments. That would mean you could string together multiple sequences with the same “actors” and potentially create entire (short) films. But does it actually work? We put it to the test.

Pixel-ated expectations. The Google Pixel 10 Pro XL presents a familiar formula — incremental hardware refinements paired with new AI features that most users won't fully utilize. This year's Pixel 10 Pro XL gets the new Tensor G5 chip, Pixelsnap Qi 2.2 wireless charging, optional 480 Hz PWM setting, and a host of on‑device AI features atop Android 16. We see if these are enough differentiators from competing 2025 flagships for the $1,199 asking price.
