Mobile 3D accelerator! Many popular handhelds and mini-PCs have very limited 3D capabilities due to the fact they are only equipped with an iGPU. This is where GPD comes in with their G1 eGPU. A USB4 port or OcuLink interface is required to use this device. The GPD G1 features an AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT graphics card. We have extensively tested the device with both connection options and analysed its performance.

The Mini IT12, a multi-talent? The Geekom Mini IT12 follows the well-known Intel NUC design. Equipped with a mobile Intel Alder Lake SoC featuring 8 cores and 12 threads, we thoroughly examined its performance in this test to determine if it can outshine the previous class-leading Intel. Thanks to two USB 4 interfaces, we delved into its gaming capabilities when paired with an external GPU.

Extreme battery life. The basic version of the new MacBook Pro 16 is equipped with the full version of the Apple M3 Pro, although it doesn't offer much performance compared to the M2 Pro. On the other hand, the entry-level SSD has become faster again, and the maximum SDR brightness gets increased too. In addition, power efficiency improvements allow for an extremely long battery life.

High-quality waste-laptop. The Acer Aspire Vero 15 surprises not only with a QHD camera, long runtimes and high performance, but it also features a robust and attractive design, good input devices and a bright, colorful display. Furthermore, the office laptop never gets too loud and depending on the model you choose, the price is right, too.

The brakes are off: The laptop with that special edge is back. In the new 18 mm thin Zenbook, Asus has installed extremely powerful hardware and finally lets it off the leash. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 in our test unit has up to 140 watts at its disposal and is thus in no way inferior to its siblings in many gaming laptops.

Massive CPU upgrade. The MacBook Pro 16 gets a massive performance boost thanks to the new M3 Max SoC and besides a more powerful GPU, the CPU offers the biggest gains. The SDR brightness of the 16-inch Mini-LED screen was increased as well. We review the high-end MacBook in the new Space Black color.

Mid-range gamer with an entry-level GPU. The gaming laptop Predator Helios Neo 16 from Acer is supposedly a cheaper alternative to the regular Helios 16, while still offering a variety of mid-range features, such as an extremely robust and sleek case, lots of connectivity options, a desktop-class CPU, as well as a powerful cooling system which makes use of liquid metal. In this review, you can find out whether this concept is a success.

Lightweight 64 GB RAM. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G11 is the first model of this line with up to 64 GB of RAM. To get this amount of RAM, users have to buy a version with the most powerful P28-CPU, the i7-1370P. Unfortunately, as our review shows, this CPU is ill-suited for this elegant business laptop.

Debut for Apple's M3 SoC. Apple launched its new MacBook Pro models and the old MacBook Pro 13 is not longer available. Instead, there is a new entry-level model of the MacBook Pro 14 with the base M3-SoC and 8 GB RAM for $1599. However, there are some compromises, especially in terms of connectivity as well as the cooling performance.

Compact gaming PC! Compact mini PCs with dedicated graphics cards aren't all too widespread at the moment. Nevertheless, Minisforum's Neptune Series HX77G is a compact mini PC with an AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS and an AMD Radeon RX 6600M. We have taken a closer look at this device and have analyzed its performance with the help of a variety of benchmarks and current games.

Debut for the RTX 2000 Ada. Lenovo no longer offers the ThinkPad X1 Extreme. Instead, the identically built ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 takes over the tasks as a powerful multimedia computer or mobile workstation from now on. We tested the new ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 with the professional Nvidia RTX 2000 GPU and the matte IPS panel with a refresh rate of 165 Hz.

More ports and noisier fans. Microsoft’s Surface Laptop Studio is a pretty unique product and the second generation gets much faster components as well as more ports, but the foldable display is identical. This is also the case for the non-existent maintenance options as well as the high price. Update: Additional battery test results
