Ravenous hardware. The ROG Strix G17 with the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX and RTX 4070 is well equipped for current and future games with similarly current and powerful hardware. Together with RGB illumination all around and a 240-Hertz IPS display, it leaves hardly any gaming desires unfulfilled. On the other hand, our test reveals not only some expected weaknesses.

5G and fanless. Microsoft offers its new Surface Pro 9 now also with an ARM processor, which brings some advantages such as integrated 5G connectivity and fanless operation. On the other hand, the performance also turns out significantly worse than that of the Intel version, despite the higher price.

Portable & whisper-quiet. Huawei's MateBook D 15 office laptop convinces with a low price of 549 Euros, remains exceptionally quiet with high system performance, and offers a chic metal casing with a sufficiently bright matte IPS display. The keyboard and touchpad of the very portable 15.6-inch notebook are also convincing, but the fast LPDDR4X RAM is not expandable.
