High-end gamer. A Core i9-13900HX and GeForce RTX 4080 provide sufficient performance for video processing, rendering, and QHD gaming. The keyboard of the laptop also offers individual key illumination, six macro keys, and a lot of space for the arrow keys.

Mixed breed. The 15-inch Katana has only been slightly revamped and comes with a new graphics card from the RTX 40xx series. Unlike many competitors, MSI combines the new GPU with a Gen12 instead of a Gen13 CPU from Intel. The retail price of US$1,499.99 as a "budget" price tag is rather steep. Is the Katana still worth it?

Quality has its price! Noctua offer a wide portfolio of high-performance air coolers and have been regarded as a top brand for years when it comes to the topic of air cooling. In this short review, we have taken a closer look at the Noctua NH-U9S, the NH-D9L and the NH-La9-AM5, which can be fitted into many cases thanks to their size. Additionally, we have tested whether the three test subjects could tame an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X.

Premium or budget? With the MateBook D 15 (2022), Huawei is offering a premium and compact 15.6-inch, office laptop with a MacBook-style design. With 16 GB of RAM, low emissions despite high-level system performance and long battery life, plenty of qualities are on offer. However, in terms of connectivity and display it becomes clear we are dealing with a budget laptop, therefore, the price is crucial.

Premiere for the Core i7-1360P. The new G8 model of Lenovo's high-end Yoga 9i 14 convertible is the first device with Intel's new Raptor Lake mobile processor. However, our review reveals only minor improvements and the new Intel CPUs are disappointing, especially in regard to the integrated graphics.

Alder Lake and Raptor Lake at a glance! Intel's Alder Lake and Raptor Lake processors are still high in demand - presumably due to their socket 1700's good performance. In this review, we have summarized all of our test results and have let the more affordable models have their say. The results are interesting - it's not necessarily always about the flagship devices.

Droolworthy snake. The Razer Blade 16 Early 2023 is a new offering for gamers interested in a flagship 16:10 16-inch gaming laptop. Featuring a desktop-class Intel Raptor Lake-HX Core i9-13950HX, a 175 W Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU, and the world's first dual-mode mini-LED display, the Blade 16 seeks to take on some of the most powerful juggernauts this year. We explore Razer's ambitions with the Blade 16 and see whether it is worth the additional US$700 over the Blade 16 RTX 4080.

Overloaded quickly? Intel's NUC11 Essential Kit is based on an Intel Jasper Lake SoC and is perfect for office work. We took a closer look at the mini PC with an Intel Pentium Silver N6005 and Intel Celeron N4505. In this review, you can read about what both systems have to offer.

Sweetspot found: The ROG Strix G16 is the third Strix we've reviewed in a still-ripening 2023. Based on recent experience, the choice to downsize to a 16-inch model is a good one. We see that the 4080 fits perfectly between the RTX 4090 and RTX 4070. In the ROG Strix G16, the GeForce graphics card is finally able to show off its capabilities.

Thunderbolt 4 in a tiny bottle. The Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit is a tiny but powerful mini PC. Its powerful 12th-Gen Alder Lake Core i5-1240P offers great computing power, although graphics performance is lacking. Like it's bigger brother, perhaps its greatest strength is its excellent port selection, which includes two Thunderbolt 4 ports.

Gaming without AMD and Nvidia? We have put the Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast Kit - a compact desktop PC with an up-to-date Alder Lake SoC - to the test. The actual highlight, however, is the Intel Arc A770M - but the test sadly showed a lot of wasted potential with this. Find out more in this review with comprehensive benchmarks and measurements.

Big, bigger, G18. In 2023, more and more 18-inch laptops are entering the gaming segment. One particular candidate is the ROG Strix G18, which shows up trumps with the latest, high-end components and a speedy display. We take an extensive look at this 18-inch offspring.
