Windows

Full speed ahead. We have built a completely new desktop PC to be up to date for our gaming articles. It competes with high-end notebooks and we are going to use it for comparisons. Who wins the duel?
Intel Core i7-6700K | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980

Mainstream convertible. The Yoga 3 14 gets a new name with updates to core components. What else is new for this Skylake refresh?

The Next Generation. For the first time, Lenovo also installs a high-quality IPS panel in the entry-level model of the ThinkPad lineup. The superb input devices, a fast SSD and Intel's newest processors make the E460 an insider tip for price-conscious pupils and students.

Maintenance miracle. Unfortunately, this is pretty rare nowadays: The maintenance hatch, which is very easy to remove, allows access to all major components of the new multimedia notebook from Dell. Another highlight is the high-resolution 4K touchscreen and thanks to its GTX 960M GPU, it should also attract gamers. Unfortunately, some issues affect the initial good impression.

Improved. After the very buggy Assassin’s Creed Unity, the gaming world is now looking very closely at the successor. Does Syndicate inherit the same performance issues or did Ubisoft put more effort into it this time? We tested it with dozens of laptops.

A big step forward.Hewlett Packard has eliminated some weaknesses that we had found in a previously tested Envy model. Thanks to a Skylake processor, IPS screen and solid-state drive, the new version of the Envy 15 x360 gives a considerably more finished impression. However, with a price tag of almost 1000 Euros (~$1061), the laptop is not exactly a budget device.
Intel Core i5-6200U | NVIDIA GeForce 930M | 15.60" | 2.2 kg

Price-performance Nitro. Acer offers many configurations of the Aspire V 15. Equipped with an i5-ULV CPU and a GeForce 945M GPU, this model for 900 Euros (~$955) is the least expensive version of the high-end Nitro series yet. How does it hold up against the models with a four-digit price tag?
Intel Core i5-6200U | NVIDIA GeForce 945M | 15.60" | 2.4 kg

Classy typewriter. A good build and configuration are omnipresent, and the improvements compared with the predecessor are appealing. ULV Core i7 processor meets gaming suitable 2 GB Nvidia GPU fused with 256 GB M.2 SATA SSD. The very good keyboard, thermals and system noise convince - but is everything that glitters here really gold?
Intel Core i7-5500U | NVIDIA GeForce 940M | 17.30" | 3 kg

Eye candy. Casualization or not: “Star Wars Battlefront” is a real highlight in terms of graphics, which makes most competitors look rather outdated. Find out if you can also enjoy the game on notebooks.

Full speed with Nitro. Acer's successful Nitro lineup is being upgraded to Skylake. The manufacturer again manages to leave the rivals behind thanks to a well-conceived total package.
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M | 17.30" | 3.1 kg

Good choice, take 2. Asus' update of the Zenbook UX305 is not extensive by any means with a Skylake m3 CPU instead of a Broadwell SoC standing out as the notable difference. In the other areas, the UX305CA inherits both the strengths and weaknesses of the predecessor, which still makes it a solid choice in our book. This time around, we are taking a look at the version of the subnotebook with Full-HD display panel.
Intel Core m3-6Y30 | Intel HD Graphics 515 | 13.30" | 1.2 kg

Classy convertible. This is the flagship Yoga and Lenovo's consumer crown jewel for the next year. Can this super-thin Skylake convertible replace your one-trick Ultrabook?
Intel Core i7-6500U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 13.30" | 1.3 kg

One step forward, two steps back? Who can benefit from the more powerful i5 version? How big is the difference compared to the Core m3 and how does the 12-inch device hold up against regular notebooks? Our performance update will provide the answers.
Intel Core i5-6300U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 12.30" | 1.1 kg

Now with Skylake. Skylake ensures a decent CPU and GPU performance gain, but not at the expense of battery life. Unfortunately, HP has still not incorporated a good display in the third generation of ProBooks.
Intel Core i5-6200U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 13.30" | 1.5 kg

Bullseye. HP has equipped its Spectre x360 series with the latest Skylake processors and continues the success of the recently reviewed model. Unfortunately, known problems remained.
Intel Core i5-6200U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 13.30" | 1.5 kg

Netbook alternative. Despite a high display resolution (1920x1200 pixels), you do not have to waive long battery life with Toshiba's 10-inch detachable. Two batteries make this possible. In addition, it does not put a big dent in the wallet with a price of just under 400 Euros (~$425).
Intel Atom x5-Z8300 | Intel HD Graphics (Cherry Trail) | 10.10" | 1.1 kg

Silent beast. The latest revision in the signature G series takes a small step forward, though not the leap we were all hoping. We detail how the G752 is an improvement over the G751 and how competing models are starting to fly past the popular Asus G series.
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M | 17.30" | 4.1 kg

Old-school technology, but fascinating. About four years after Skyrim, Bethesda Softworks releases their next role-play highlight called Fallout 4. Visually, the title might not impress much, but it offers a huge gaming world full of possibilities. Our benchmark article takes a look at how the game performs on various notebooks.

Way too expensive. Lenovo's 15.6-inch all-rounder cannot attract attention with its performance and features. However, this does not keep Lenovo from charging a ludicrous price for this device.
Intel Core i5-5200U | AMD Radeon R5 M330 | 15.60" | 2.3 kg

(Quad)Core values. High-end is great, but not always required: even when equipped with a Core i5 CPU and a GeForc 945M GPU, the Acer Aspire VN7-792G offers solid performance for a price that's more than fair. The display isn't too shabby, either.
Intel Core i5-6300HQ | NVIDIA GeForce 945M | 17.30" | 3.1 kg

New revision. We already checked the Alienware 15 twice. In this review update, the gaming notebook gets a fresh Skylake processor and the fast Nvidia GTX 980M. Can Alienware keep the components of the 15-inch device cool?
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M | 15.60" | 3.1 kg

Fourth Time's a Charm. The highly-anticipated fourth rendition of Microsoft’s Surface Pro is finally here, and it brings some valuable refinements. Thanks to a low-power Core m3 CPU, our review unit is completely devoid of moving parts—making this more tablet than ever before. But is it finally the tablet than can replace your laptop, or is it just another product of compromise?
Intel Core m3-6Y30 | Intel HD Graphics 515 | 12.30" | 1.1 kg

Ready for games with Skylake. Fallout 4, Black Ops 3, Battlefront – autumn brings a lot of challenge for gamers. MSI has refreshed its line-up for the gaming festival and improved the GE72 a lot: Apart of an up-to-date Intel quad-core CPU, the 17-inch fireball got an IPS panel and a USB 3.1 port. However, the price went up quite a bit, too. Is this justified?
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M | 17.30" | 2.9 kg

Incomplete. While the console version received international acclaim, the PC version is causing all sorts of trouble. Performance drops here, crashes and graphics errors there: The fact is Black Ops 3 doesn't currently appear to be very well developed. Does the game degenerate into incessant stuttering on notebooks too?

Tough. Rugged devices sometimes have to operate under the most adverse conditions. Dell's Latitude 12 Rugged tablet presents itself as a robust workhorse with stamina.
