Review Snippet

While basically, Sony doesn't do anything different with the Xperia 10 Mark III, is succeeded in performing the right fine-tuning to create a really good smartphone. However, as soon as our tester gets excited about it, the Xperia starts bringing up some mixed feelings.

After testing over a dozen different laptops with the GeForce RTX 3060, users can expect up to a 19 percent performance decrease between the fastest and slowest models currently available. There's a catch, however, as real-world gaming performance on the 70 W GPU can be brought closer to average by opting for a newer CPU with higher or faster RAM.

With the TUF Gaming A15, Asus offers a powerful and comparatively inexpensive gaming laptop with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H. It offers decent gaming performance and a fast display.

In the Zephyrus S17, the hinges simultaneously push the keyboard unit upwards and lift it when the laptop is opened. This allows the case to open a gap in this area, which is supposed to draw in more fresh air. Is this useful and what are the drawbacks?

The new Dell Inspiron 13 5301 in the 0D0XN configuration scores points with a stylish appearance, a Tiger Lake CPU, and a fair price. However, we found a few points of criticism in our test.

Using clothing fabric instead of plastic or metal for a laptop is a pretty neat concept at least until you have to clean the thing. It may be best to avoid spilling any coffee or other liquids on the Yoga 6 13 or you'd be left with some potential stains.

HP’s 2-in-1 device features the Core i5-1135G7, 16 GB of dual-channel RAM and an NVMe SSD. This is why it can handle all modern tasks. The touchscreen can be operated with the fingers or the HP Tilt Pen.

The second generation of the compact ThinkPad X13 G2 gets new processors, 16:10 displays, and 5G as an optional extra. The business laptop convinces with good connectivity, but long-term ThinkPad users will have to make compromises when it comes to the keyboard.

It's sad to see the smaller battery and dropped support for M.2 2280 SSDs, but the improvements almost everywhere else make them worth the sacrifice.

16:10 screens offer more screenspace without significantly increasing the footprints of laptops.

This year, the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 2 stands almost alone among the ThinkPads of the higher price segment. However, its distinguishing characteristic, the 16:9 format, is by no means positive. It is time for Lenovo to change the format.

It's easily one of the cheapest 14-inch laptops you can find with full sRGB coverage and a 3:2 2160 x 1440 resolution display. For each thing it does right, however, there are at least three other aspects that bring it all down.

The MSI Katana GF76 11UE gaming laptop is able to score points on paper with its GeForce RTX 3060 laptop GPU and Intel Core i7-11800H CPU. However, our review revealed a few weaknesses...

The Apple iPad Pro 12.9 (2021) is exquisite and delivers even more than the 11-inch model, thanks to its Mini LED display. The step-up to an Apple M1 SoC provides laptop performance in a tablet form factor, too. We have some issues with Apple's latest professional tablet though, and they are more than just iPadOS.

Asus has some work to do on its older Zephyrus G14 design if it hopes to overshadow the newer, slimmer, faster, and arguably better Razer Blade 14. Here are all the advantages and disadvantages of each system.

The TUF Gaming F17 that we reviewed inherits the 17.3-inch chassis of the TUF A17, but it houses an RTX 3060 instead of a GTX 1660 Ti. In addition, it's equipped with a Core i9 from the Tiger Lake series. The display deserves some criticism. Despite cool features like Adaptive Sync and 144 Hz, it otherwise scores average rates at best. Price is still a big question.

The blue chipmaker has successfully closed the gaping performance gap between its Core-H CPUs and AMD's competing Zen series with the launch of 11th gen Tiger Lake-H. Auxiliary features like native support for Thunderbolt 4 and PCIe 4 are icing on the cake in favor of Intel.

The Redmi Note 10S ships with Xiaomi’s proprietary launcher. However, Xiaomi's software is not very consistent.

Gigabyte updates the Aorus 17G with the latest technology: A Tiger Lake processor, an Ampere GPU, PCI Express 4.0, and Thunderbolt 4. The laptop's highlight is still the compelling mechanical keyboard.

With the Redmi Note 10 5G, Xiaomi has another potential hit up its sleeve that attracts customers with its extensive features and low price. Here, we summarize the review's highlights for you.

Alienware offers its new m15 either with AMD Ryzen or Intel Tiger Lake-H processors, but the AMD model offers a better price-performance ratio and the more efficient CPU.

Had Razer played it safe by sticking with Intel instead of jumping to AMD, the Blade 14 would have more than likely supported PCIe 4.0, Thunderbolt 4, and the Razer Core X series of eGPU docking stations.

The MSI Modern 15 remains a high-performance office laptop with its updated hardware as well. However, there are still minor points of criticism.

Thin and less features - many modern laptops have to make compromises in the hunt for every millimeter. The Schenker Vision 14 now shows that there is another way. In addition to plenty of ports, you also get replaceable RAM modules and two M.2 slots in a 1 kg magnesium chassis.

Apple has been claiming that its iPad Pro tablets are capable of replacing laptops since their debut. The iPad Pro 11 (2021) underlines this with the same Apple M1 SoC found in the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and even the iMac. Is a chipset change enough for the 11-inch iPad Pro to replace a laptop, though?

Gigabyte improves system performance in particular with the hardware configuration of the Aorus 15P YD. Compared with last year's model, there are new advantages as well as disadvantages.

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra proved to be a very capable smartphone in our review. It is the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra’s true competitor. However, there is still some room for improvement, especially in terms of software.

The 9 W part isn't as far behind as one might presume depending on the workload involved. The Core i7-1180G7 can be surprisingly close to the i7-1185G7 when it comes to integrated graphics performance and single-threaded workloads.

The Legion 7 16ACHg6 brings all the latest computer games smoothly onto the matte 16-inch screen (2560x1600 pixels, 165 Hz, IPS) in the 16:10 format. Furthermore, its equipment is good: The Ryzen 9 5900HX APU, the GeForce RTX 3080 laptop GPU, 32 GB of RAM, and 2x 1 TB NVMe SSDs.

When a smartphone does exactly what is expected from its price range, this can definitely be an advantage. At least this is the impression given by the Oppo A94 5G.

Opinion The Alienware m15 R4 we just reviewed offers gamers a strong performance, an RTX 3080, and a mechanical keyboard. But its battery life is downright abysmal. Is this an acceptable inconvenience for gaming laptops? Do gaming laptops even need good battery life? Yes!

On paper, HP Sure View sounds great with its ability to limit viewing angles with just a press of a button. In practice, however, the feature entails a host of other disadvantages that potential owners should be aware of.

The featherweight LG Gram 16 scores points with a Tiger Lake processor, Thunderbolt 4/USB 4, room for two NVMe SSDs, and a 16-inch display in the 16:10 format. This is complemented by excellent battery life.

The Oppo A74 offers a lot of value for an official price of 249 Euros (~$303), including a bright AMOLED display, a 5,000 mAh battery, and a 48 MP triple-camera setup. In our review, the 6.43-inch device scored well in these three areas, but it showed weaknesses in other areas.

The second generation of the ThinkPad P14s is equipped with Tiger Lake CPUs and an Nvidia Quadro T500. In this case, the latter is also what will persuade users to opt for the new model.

The powerful hardware of the Schenker XMG Core 17 brings all the current computer games smoothly to the responsive display (WQHD, IPS, 165 Hz, 17.3 inch). The preinstalled Control Center allows you to adjust the performance development of the CPU and GPU.

The HP Spectre x360 14 is a 2-in-1 device which features a Tiger Lake CPU, two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a 13.5-inch OLED touchscreen with a 3:2 aspect ratio. The touchscreen can recognise inputs from the included HP Tilt Pen and fingers.

When a manufacturer already uses one of the most powerful graphics cards in its laptops, a new CPU also needs to ensure a higher performance.

The LG Gram has always been known for its huge battery life. In the new 14Z90P version, the 14-inch model also convinces in the test with a significant leap in performance - Intel's Tiger Lake is to thank.

The Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55 is a mid-range gaming laptop with a great price-to-performance ratio. However, to achieve a great level of performance at a low price, Acer had to cut some costs.

Xiaomi offers a whole range of high-end specifications in the Poco F3, starting with the 120 Hz OLED display up to the Snapdragon 870. In addition, there's a powerful battery with fast-charging technology, dual speakers, a triple-camera setup, fast Wi-Fi, and 5G. Is that enough?

The new ZenBook 13 is finally available in an AMD Ryzen configuration. We have now completed the review of the Intel version and are able to draw a comparative conclusion. While AMD pulls ahead in terms of pure CPU power, the Intel ZenBook still has a few aces up its sleeve.

This year's model upgrade of the MagicBook 14 uses Intel's Tiger Lake CPUs instead of AMD processors. However, we have to search for improvements with a magnifying glass.

How did two laptops with very different names end up looking exactly the same? MSI plans to eventually merge the Modern and Prestige series under one newer Summit name to avoid consumer confusion.

With the Redmi Note 10, Xiaomi delivers a successor to the Redmi Note 9 that not only looks good but also offers enough performance for everyday use.

The slowest Tiger Lake Core i7 laptop can have up to 45 percent slower graphics performance than the fastest Tiger Lake Core i7 laptop each with the same Iris Xe GPU. If you're aiming for faster-than-average models, then our compiled list should be of some use.

Since the availability of 5G across Germany is still something we are waiting for, it definitely makes sense to invest in an LTE smartphone. According to our test, the Samsung Galaxy A52 4G would be a good choice.

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G did very well in our review. In terms of its thickness and weight, it is a cut above the mid-range competition. The Chinese manufacturer says that the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G is the thinnest 5G smartphone in the world.

With the V17-IIL, Lenovo delivers a work device for the desk. The 17.3-inch laptop scores with low noise and heat development and an IPS display.

Based on our WLAN tests, the cheaper IPS configuration can outlast the more expensive OLED configuration by almost 4 hours when browsing the web at identical brightness levels, identical web pages, and identical power profiles each.
