NUC but quiet! The Geekom Mini IT12 is an interesting alternative to the well-known Intel NUC models. The Taiwanese manufacturer has chosen a mobile Intel Alder Lake SoC. In this review, we took a closer look at what this mini PC can deliver, and whether it can live up to the class leader, Intel. Thanks to its Thunderbolt port, we were also able to take a look at its gaming performance using an external GPU.

Zen for the rest of us. The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 is a 65 W Raphael CPU that aims to lower the barrier for AAA gaming and content creation tasks. In this review, we test AMD's entry-level Zen 4 SKU, see how it compares with the competition including Intel Raptor Lake and Alder Lake along with other Zen 3 and Zen 4 offerings, and evaluate if this can be a viable CPU for your next mainstream build.

Small and silent! PCs don't always have to be big and bulky. Many mini PCs we have tested previously have proven this. The Higole PC Stick's manufacturer has taken this a step further by managing to fit the whole of the PC's hardware into a case reminiscent of an oversized USB stick. We took a closer look at the device and what its Intel Celeron J4125 is capable of.

Just buy the older 2022 model. Don't be fooled by the fresh 7000 series name as this is very much a 6000 series processor. The Zen 3+ Ryzen 7 7735HS is still powerful especially when it comes to integrated graphics, but it offers essentially nothing over the less expensive Ryzen 7 6800H or older Ryzen 9 6900HS.

Memory monster! The ACEMagician ACE-CK10-8259U is a small office PC based on a native 4-core processor. However, its processor is still part of the Coffee Lake generation, which wouldn't necessarily be the first choice for new devices anymore. Nevertheless, the manufacturer has provided this model with enough performance potential for everyday use. We put the ACEMagician ACE-CK10-8259U through its paces, and this review will show you everything the SoC can do.

AMP-ed up 1440p Ultra gaming. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 comes across as the cheapest Ada GPU yet at a US$599 MSRP. Embargoes on high-end variants of the RTX 4070, including the current Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 AMP Airo, lift today. We put Zotac's high-end RTX 4070 to the test and see whether the extra US$100 over the RTX 4070 Founders Edition is of any benefit in outsmarting the RTX 3080 of yore and competition from AMD.
