Moderate fan noise despite great performance, bright and vibrant colours, and solid workmanship: even the base model Legion Pro manages to impress as an entry-level gaming laptop. The modestly priced AMD version demonstrates how much performance you can potentially get out of the RTX 4050.

In addition to smartphones and tablets, at this point Blackview also sells Mini PCs. Under the label "MP200," you get an attractive office PC based on Tiger Lake H. Our test showed that the SoC doesn't belong on the scrap heap yet and is still easily able to keep up with the competitors.

Shortly after releasing the Fiat 600e electric cross-over SUV, news has broken that Fiat is pitched to launch a budget electric Panda in mid-2024. The electric Panda would be an affordable small EV designed to tempt prospective buyers away from similar offerings, like the Renault 5 and Mini Cooper SE.

Shortly after Tesla started delivering the Model Y with the new Hardware 4 computer and infotainment system, a teardown has revealed that the new hardware actually features half the RAM and storage of the HW4 system found in the Model S and X. This appears to be a cost-cutting measure that basically rules out the possibility of ever putting Steam on a HW4 Model 3 or Y.

Nikon appears to have concluded its investigation into the failing Z8 strap eyelets that has caused a stir in the last few weeks. While Nikon had previously addressed the issue on an as-needed basis, replacing US$4,000 camera bodies as the eyelets failed, the company has finally identified the affected batch and is recalling an unspecified range of serial numbers.

Honor backs it to beat them with class-leading battery capacity in a markedly slim build.

Midrange boards with 8 GB VRAM are seemingly becoming a performance bottleneck, as YouTuber Daniel Owen has showcased a large performance delta between the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB and 16 GB in a slew of modern titles.

With its up-to-24GHz SoC, these specs may already be getting increasingly familiar to its Indian audience - then again, its color options and pre-order deals are not.

According to a reliable leaker, OnePlus has abandoned an earlier design for its first foldable smartphone.

All three bikes are backed to beat range anxiety while boosting comfort with features such as fat tires, "triple" suspension and dual-battery systems across the board.

Accordingly, Huawei's adoption of this UI tweak might officially endorse certain Mate 60-series display upgrade rumors.

The instruction set architecture (ISA) RISC-V is increasingly seen as a chip-designing goldmine, mostly thanks to its open-source nature. However, it still needs commercial support to drive its adoption, according to big industry players such as Qualcomm Technologies, NXP Semiconductors and Bosch. To this end, they will fund a new, EU-based body intended to help optimize RISC-V for next-gen automotive and wireless applications.

Qualcomm might not launch a new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 SoC this year. This becomes evident from the fact that the RedMagic 8S Pro's SoC is the same overclocked variant as the 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy that Qualcomm offers for Samsung's 2023 flagship and foldable lineup. While this makes business sense for Qualcomm, customers will be required to do their due diligence.

The PlayStation-certified, PC-compatible controller is available to order from now.
