Review Snippet

The Acer Nitro V 17 and Lenovo LOQ 17 are currently among the most affordable 17-inch gaming laptops equipped with Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 graphics. Both start at around €1,249, yet despite similar pricing and comparable core specs, they take noticeably different approaches. We’ve tested both models and break down which laptop is the better fit for which type of gamer.

The Tecra A65-M would have been a stellar budget-oriented business laptop if it weren't for its poor choice of IPS panels and lack of sRGB colors.

Huawei is asking almost €1400 for its new flagship smartphone, the Pura 80 Ultra, but claims to offer buyers top-notch camera quality. The lenses are even said to be among the best in their field. This is true, but as our review shows, the Pura 80 Ultra falls short in other areas.

In our test, the Acer Nitro V 17 stands out as one of the most power-efficient RTX 5070 gaming laptops in its class. It may not be the fastest option available, but it makes up for that with significantly lower power draw, noticeably quieter operation, and an unusually well-balanced performance package for budget-conscious gamers.

The Geekom A7 Max is based on the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS and combines the powerful CPU with a high-quality, compact housing and extensive connectivity. In our detailed test, we examined how the mini PC performs in everyday use and in direct comparison with the competition.

The XMG Apex 16 Max currently starts at €2,100 and is equipped with the 140W version of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop with 12 GB VRAM. You also get 32 GB RAM, a powerful HX CPU from AMD as well as a good IPS or even an optional Mini-LED screen.

The Teclast T60 Pro aims to offer the highest quality Android tablet possible for around $160, including a large 12-inch display, stylus input, metal casing and even an LTE/GPS modem.

Has Xiaomi delivered again? This was the question we asked ourselves prior to reviewing the Redmi Note 15 4G. In many areas, such as battery life, display and security updates, it is an absolute winner in view of its €200 price tag. But what about the cameras?

The Acer Nitro V 17 AI is currently one of the most affordable 17-inch gaming laptops with an RTX 5070. Our test shows that, despite the low price, Acer delivers more than just performance – the laptop impresses with efficiency and surprisingly quiet operation.

Lenovo's ThinkPad P16v Gen 3 is a mobile workstation that wants to convince with a good price-performance ratio. To keep the price down, the manufacturer saves some money in regard to the chassis stability, hinges as well as the keyboard, which are typically strengths of the ThinkPad series.

The Honor Magic8 Pro has already demonstrated in our review that it offers significant benefits for eye health in terms of display technology, but it goes one step further by offering flicker detection. We tested this feature.

Honor has long boasted that its smartphones offer a particularly wide range of features for protecting the eyes. The Magic8 Pro now goes one step further and offers its own settings menu for an optimal viewing experience. We provide you with an overview.

In our review, the Honor Magic8 Pro proved to be one of the smartphones with a super-bright display, reaching up to 6,000 cd/m² and going down to 1 cd/m². However, there is a problem with the minimum brightness.

When we tested the Dell Pro 14 Plus laptop, we were shocked by the quality of its screen. It is just not up to par, despite the fact that we chose the top model of the PB14255 for the German market. The worst thing: Dell has better screens available, they just do not use them.

A few years ago, Dell introduced "Concept Luna", a modular, more repairable way to design laptop. With the latest Dell Pro 14 Plus, Dell for sure has made progress in terms of sustainability when it comes to materials and packaging. Sadly, modularity and repairability lags behind the competition.

Mobile workstations are often synonymous with fast components and professional graphics cards. However, many manufacturers actually do not use the fastest versions of the components, and the recently reviewed ThinkPad P16v Gen 3 is a good example.

We know that Samsung can make good tablets, but the price-performance ratio does not always hold up. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A11 Plus is different, as Android users can get decent performance and even optional 5G connectivity for a reasonable amount of money.

Honor has tweaked many aspects of the Magic8 Pro without reinventing its flagship smartphone. Nevertheless, it has been enhanced with many small updates and the new AI button.

Priced at less than €1,000, the Asus ExpertBook PM3 is a good office laptop with a modern AMD CPU and aluminum chassis. You also get a comfortable keyboard and a three-year warranty as well as updates for five years by default.

On paper, the Magic8 Pro's camera setup appears somewhat reduced compared to the Magic7 Pro, but this is not necessarily reflected in everyday use. We made the comparison.

Of the big three in the PC space, Dell was the manufacturer that was most loyal to Intel's CPU. In their commercial Dell Latitude lineup, no system used AMD CPUs. With the newer Dell Pro lineup, this is no longer the case: Dell is finally offering AMD CPUs in models like the Dell Pro 14 Plus.

How long does Samsung's affordable 5G tablet really last and how quickly does the battery recharge? We put the Galaxy Tab A11+ 5G through our battery life and charging tests and show where it scores points and where it falls short.

The Ugee UT3 is significantly larger and comes with more accessories than the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+, but is only around $20 cheaper. Is it a bargain in the end? Or are savings being made in the wrong areas? We made the comparison.

The Pura 80 Pro impressively demonstrates that Huawei can still build good smartphones in 2025 despite ongoing trade restrictions. The camera stands out in particular with its 1-inch main sensor. However, the price is likely to be a deal-breaker for many potential buyers.

The compact Vivo X300 is an exciting choice among compact smartphones on the market. This Android phone may also be worth importing, as it offers advantages beyond its price. We'll examine the differences between the global and Chinese versions.

The Ugee UT3 impressed in our review with its matte 14.25-inch display, including pen support and a cleanly crafted aluminum unibody. However, it also has some technical deficits. We have summarized the test again.

Powerful HX CPU, fast GPU and a new OLED screen - the XMG Fusion 16 (M25) is a very good mainstream gamer with plenty of performance, modern set of features as well as comprehensive maintenance options.

The new ExpertBook PM3 from Asus is a good office laptop with the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350, which is a good alternative for the Lenovo ThinkPad E14. However, you have to be careful with the choice of display.

If you're looking for a modern gaming notebook with more than 8 GB of VRAM that isn't excessively expensive, the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI could be a suitable option.

The Minisforum MS-02 Ultra combines powerful Intel Core Ultra hardware with extensive features in a compact format and is aimed at demanding users. With high CPU performance, a modern platform including integrated AI acceleration and versatile expansion and network options, the mini PC offers the best prerequisites for professional workloads and continuous load scenarios. Does the MS-02 Ultra belong to the top class of mini PCs? Our review provides the answers.

Vivo's latest gaming smartphone has everything it takes to be a real flagship killer. Top-of-the-line features, a high-end chipset, long-term updates and really good battery life make the iQOO 15 a strong contender for buyers. Unfortunately, there are some limitations in terms of availability.

Acer's Predator Triton AI 14 wants to compete with the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 and the Razer Blade 14. Our review of the Triton revealed some drawbacks, so can the overall package actually compete with the established rivals?

Not only does Vivo impress with its flagship X300 Pro smartphone when it comes to cameras, but outperforms an Apple iPhone 17 in terms of photo quality. Our review of the iQOO 15 clearly shows why the model currently tops our rankings.

Vivo's latest gaming phone features Halo Dynamic Light, a technology that would also look great on an iPhone 18 or Galaxy S26. The colored light ring around the camera can be assigned various functions. Unlike the "Nothing" phones, the iQOO 15's LED ring is subtle, yet very useful.

The IQOO 15, an affordable gaming smartphone from Vivo, is primarily aimed at gamers, but it also impresses in other areas with its top-notch features. It boasts fast UFS 4.1 storage, ultra-fast LPDDR5X RAM and high-quality Sony camera sensors. Vivo also guarantees seven years of software updates.

Chinese tablet manufacturer Teclast installs its own ArtOS operating system, designed for creative work, on its tablets. But does it really confer advantages in drawing and editing?

The gaming laptops from the German manufacturer XMG were limited to IPS screens so far, but the new Fusion 16 is now also available with a high-resolution OLED screen and 120 Hz. The image quality is very good and it is definitely a good alternative to the familiar IPS options.

Surfing the internet for 1.5 days straight? With extra-large batteries and efficient processors, smartphones reached new heights in 2025. We look at different price ranges and give recommendations for smartphones with long battery life, from bargains to top-of-the-line models.

Pen input, practical format, special screen modes for drawing and painting—Teclast is trying very hard to position its ArtPad Air as an alternative for creative professionals. We took a closer look at what the tablet can do and where it falls short.

The Qualcomm-powered Windows ARM PC can squeeze out almost 16 hours of constant WLAN browsing from its paltry 56 Wh battery pack.

We have examined the best displays in our smartphone tests across various price ranges. Read on to find out which phones received the highest screen ratings for 2025 in the entry-level, mid-range and high-end segments.

A compact gaming laptop with OLED and RTX 5070 - what sounds good at first turns out to be a worse overall package compared to the rivals from Asus and Razer, which are also more affordable.

If you want to take great photos with your phone, you don't always have to spend a fortune and buy the latest flagship smartphone. These are the two best mid-range smartphones in our camera rating from 2025.

The Snapdragon-powered model features great hardware for the price, but die-hard business users may scoff at the lack of any Smart Card reader options.

We have a new frontrunner in our ranking of the best smartphones for photos and videos. Neither the Galaxy S25 Ultra nor the iPhone 17 Pro managed to achieve the highest rating in our reviews. In first place, and by a clear margin, is Vivo's current flagship smartphone.

If you don't need intensive graphics or need AI acceleration for your office or business, then the NucBox M8 can save you a lot of cash.

The Poco F8 series consists of two different models that differ in design, features and, of course, price. We will show you all the differences to help you make your decision.

In our review the Poco F8 Ultra did not perform well in the stress test and overheated almost continuously. What does this mean for gaming? We took a closer look.

In our review, the Poco F8 Pro impressed with Bose sound, an improved camera setup, a huge battery and strong performance, aiming to take on the upper mid-range market. However, strong alternatives in the same price segment come from Xiaomi, of all places. Here's our assessment.

Having options is great, but having too many options is a problem. Such a case is the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13: There is so much choice that users often do not know which options to pick.
