Review Snippet

Compared to Asus’ pricier ROG Strix G18, the TUF label usually signals the company’s budget-friendly gaming line. And while the A18 with an RTX 5060 is available for a reasonable €1,599, our review unit with an RTX 5070 comes in only €100 cheaper than the G18. So what exactly justifies that higher price?

Like all Huawei tablets, the MatePad 12 X (2025) comes without pre-installed Google services and associated apps. However, this usually proves to be no problem in everyday use, and that's not because of the well-stocked AppGallery.

The new ThinkPad T16 Gen 4 AMD left a good overall impression in our review. The situation is a bit mixed for the display, because the 1080p screen does not consume a lot of power, but it is only a 60 Hz screen and there is no option for a 120 Hz panel.

If you're looking for an affordable Android phone that offers great value for money, the Xiaomi 15T is the right choice. But how good is the video quality of this mid-range phone with OIS? We put the Xiaomi smartphone through its paces.

On paper, the Asus TUF Gaming A18 enters the ring as a powerful 18-inch gaming laptop with an RTX 5070 and a Ryzen 7 260. But our testing shows: its real speed depends heavily on the mode selected in Armoury Crate — and the gap between these modes is much larger than you’d expect.

Dell's largest mobile workstation focuses on not just the fastest CPUs and GPUs available, but also new RAM options beyond SODIMM for both improved performance and higher capacities than normal.

Huawei includes a full-featured keyboard cover with the MatePad 12 X (2025) creative tablet. But it's the optional stylus that really rounds off the user experience.

The Core Ultra 9 285HX can be around 100 C when running demanding loads which negatively impacts Turbo Boost performance.

According to EU regulations, every smartphone is supposed to receive software updates for many years. That makes sense so users don't have to throw away a working device. But Motorola is trying to get around this with some legal fine print.

The Lenovo ThinkPad T14 is a staple in the business world. It is a device with many strengths. Unfortunately, its screen is not really among them. The latest ThinkPad T14 Gen 6 certainly has a workable display, but there are still key areas that can be improved.

The original launch price of almost $1000 was ridiculous considering the relatively low-end specifications of the HP 17t, but the new sale price is now much more palatable for undemanding users who just want a large 17.3-inch 1080p screen.

Once again, the performance of the Core Ultra 7 255U can vary so widely that it can actually run slower than the Core Ultra 7 155U in some cases.

The ThinkPad T14 series is among the most well known and liked business laptop series. It is not a premium series, but it delivers a well-rounded combination of quality and features. With the lastest Intel Lunar Lake CPU, it is more efficient than ever, setting a new battery life record for the T14 series.

The new Asus ROG NUC 15 is shaking up the mini PC market and immediately arouses curiosity. Compact housing, modern hardware, and a surprising amount of gaming power make it particularly exciting. Anyone looking for space-saving, high-end performance will quickly find what they are looking for here. The mini PC impressively demonstrates how much power can be packed into minimal space today.

How does the rather flexible chassis of the Gram 17 fare in everyday use? Here's our long-term conclusion after two years, a fall down the stairs and an inexpensive display repair.

In our review, the Find X9 Pro scores top marks in some cases. We take a closer look at the contents of what is included with the Oppo flagship smartphone upon purchase. The matching Super VOOC power adapter isn't always included with the Oppo phone.

Most smartphones can now take decent photos when it is dark. But you need some special technology to take a picture without any ambient light. The Oukitel WP60 comes with a night vision camera that utilizes infrared light and can shoot photos even in complete darkness. But how well does that work?

The rise of electric cars is also driving the development of battery efficiency. This is also particularly evident in smartphones, which are now lasting longer while barely gaining weight. We recently tested a smartphone with a huge screen and new battery technology. What's our verdict?

Gaming laptops aren't usually known for good battery life. The Acer Nitro V 16 AI proves that it doesn't have to be this way, offering a solid package suitable for remote office workers and mid-range gaming.

Maximum fan noise doesn't automatically mean maximum performance. The Stealth 18 HX performs about the same between its Turbo and non-Turbo modes.

The Apple iPhone Air is the thinnest Apple smartphone with a titanium frame and top-of-the-line processor, but it suffers from compromises such as a small battery, single camera, mono speaker, and USB 2.0. It is only slightly cheaper than the iPhone 17 Pro. Is it still worth it?

The Ninkear S14 with 14-inch 2K IPS display impresses with its slim design, powerful AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS, and solid performance for work, study, and multimedia. Thanks to its compact design, the notebook is versatile, easy to transport, and currently available at an attractive price - ideal for mobile working and the home office.

The new Xiaomi 17 is one of the most exciting smartphones of 2025.
