Review Snippet

Even with conventional cell phones, it's an eternal dispute: IPS or OLED display? Both have advantages, but there are also some things to consider. Robust smartphones for outdoor use have different requirements, so which display technology makes more sense here?

The ThinkBook Plus Gen6 Rollable is now widely available for almost $3500 USD. After spending a few weeks with one, here is what you can expect when using it for your daily workloads.

Although its Zen 4 architecture means the Ryzen 9 8940HX isn’t the latest processor on the market, its performance, especially in multi-core benchmarks, is more than impressive. This turns the CPU into a unique selling point for the MSI Crosshair A17 HX.

Paying over €2,000 for a gaming laptop with only 8GB of VRAM is a tough ask, but Gigabyte is trying it anyway. Therefore, we summarize our review findings and the pros and cons of the Aorus Elite 16.

Unlike most dual-screen concepts, the ThinkBook Plus Gen6 rollable actually looks and feels like a regular laptop to be easier to use with no learning curve or cumbersome accessories needed.

For the vast majority of scenarios, owners will want to game on the quieter Performance mode instead of the louder Overdrive mode as gaming performance will be nearly the same, anyway.

If you don't mind losing all those fancy RGB features of the Area-51, then the 16X Aurora can be much more affordable alternative without needing to settle for lower build quality.

The Asus ROG Strix G18 is a large 18-inch gaming notebook that offers a powerful AMD processor and a good IPS screen. Priced at 2300 Euros, however, you only get the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU, which does not really suit the processor or the price tag.

We just reviewed the two gaming laptops Asus ROG Strix G18 and the XMG Focus 17 M25, which follow a completely different approach. While the XMG wants to offer the best price-performance ratio, Asus prioritizes features. But what is more important?

The latest tablet from Xiaomi performs very well in our review. The Pad 7S Pro not only impresses with a high-end processor and a strong memory configuration (1 TB UFS 4.1, 16 GB RAM) at an affordable price, the mid-rage tablet also comes with an appealing LC-display.

The highest possible gaming performance for the lowest price - this is the motto of the new XMG Focus 17 M25 with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU. Priced at 1849 Euros, it is cheaper than the comparable MSI Vector 16 HX, but you have to make some compromises.

Our first benchmarks with the Core Ultra 7 255U are in and the results are pretty decent in terms of raw performance, but other aspects like the integrated NPU and GPU remain stagnant.

With the Gamebook, Chuwi enters the gaming notebook market for the first time - and relies on powerful hardware: the AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX meets an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti laptop GPU. The test shows how well the interaction works, where the gamebook shines, and where there is still room for improvement.

Current alternatives like the HP OmniBook X Flip 2-in-1 16 can be thinner and lighter with a better display while costing hundreds of dollars less.

Not everyone has a large garden. But is it worth buying a robot lawnmower even if you only have a few dozen or hundred square meters? In principle, yes, if you keep a few things in mind when making a purchase.

It looks like Lenovo offers two very similar and affordable laptops ThinkPad E14 series as well as the ThinkBook 14. So where are the differences between the real business laptop and the prosumer device? We compare the two current 14-inch models.

For users who want to enjoy movies, football or other events on a large screen outdoors, a particularly bright projector is required. The Anker Nebula X1 is an impressive 4K laser projector that is also suitable for this specific use case, albeit under certain conditions.

Affordable office laptops are usually equipped with pretty bad screens because the cost is a major factor and office laptops are often connected to larger external screens anyway. Lenovo now finally offers a high-resolution IPS screen with 120 Hz for its new office laptop ThinkPad E14.

The SEi13, GTi13 Ultra, and SER9 all look extremely similar due to their Mac Mini-inspired design. They nonetheless have many differences under the hood in terms of features and weight.

It seems like manufacturers of office laptops are finally prioritizing maintainability once again. The new Lenovo ThinkPad E14 G7 can accommodate two SSDs and two RAM modules, which means that the memory can be easily upgraded to 128GB if needed.

SSD transfer rates can start out as high as 7000 MB/s before falling down to just 2300 MB/s when stressed. Users who constantly transfer large files between systems may want to keep this in mind about the Dynabook Portege.

The latest model isn't necessarily the greatest. Last year's Inspiron 14 7445 2-in-1 carries a few advantages over its immediate successor the Dell 14 Plus 2-in-1.

The Portege Z40L-N is about 20 percent lighter than the Lenovo ThinkPad X9 14, but it can also run up to 25 percent slower despite carrying the same Core Ultra 7 258V CPU.

With the Z2 Mini G1a, HP presents a compact workstation that relies on AMD's new Strix Halo APU for the first time. The combination of powerful CPU performance, integrated RDNA 3.5 graphics, and space-saving design is aimed at creative professionals, developers, and power users. In our test, we examined how the mini PC performs in everyday use—from performance and cooling to system efficiency.

The AMD Zen 5 configurations offer superior processor performance while the Intel Lunar Lake options excel in battery life and graphics performance.

The Lenovo ThinkBook 14 Gen 8 does not cost a lot, starting under $1,000 - and for that low price, it has awesome an upgrade potential, as all the components apart from the CPU can be upgraded. And while the processor is not upgradeable, Intel Arrow Lake H is far from slow.

Display clouding or backlight bleeding is most common on lower-end laptop models. On higher-end models like the EliteBook, however, they should be less noticeable instead of the other way around.

"Mid-range smartphone" sounds a lot like mediocrity, neither half nor whole, or as though buyers have to make a lot of compromises. Indeed, the Motorola Moto G56 also has compromises, but the advantages clearly outweigh the disadvantages overall.

Xiaomi's Redmi Pad 2 4G is a rock-solid multimedia tablet for home use with a wide range of features. As expected, some compromises have to be made for the low price tag of around $200, but the Redmi Pad 2 is still highly recommended.

OnePlus not only delivers a strong tablet overall in the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro for a relatively low price, but the outstanding battery life of the 13.2-inch tablet is also a strong purchase argument. However, the relatively inexpensive flagship tablet is currently limited in its availability.

Some manufacturers are coming up with crazy ideas. For example, a smartphone with a super-bright light and integrated second display that can also be removed and then used as a headlamp or smartwatch.

HP offers not one or two, but at least three (EliteBook X G1i 14, EliteBook Ultra G1i 14, and EliteBook X G1a 14) high-end 14-inch EliteBook laptops with very similar visual designs and names between them. Their specifications are otherwise quite different to target separate market segments.

HP's latest 14-inch business subnotebook is lowkey one of the longest-lasting laptops in the EliteBook family due largely to the Lunar Lake CPU and undemanding 60 Hz IPS touchscreen.

Lenovo's affordable office laptop ThinkPad E16 G3 performed very well in our review. You can also get the more powerful Core Ultra 7 255H including the faster Arc Graphics 140T, but is it worth the additional charge? We tested it.

It's thinner, lighter, faster, and longer-lasting than the 2024 model to be a significant upgrade. Core temperature, however, is much warmer this time around.

We've reviewed the best phones of 2025. Read on to find out which current flagship Android smartphone won in our camera test and take a closer look at our RAW photo files.

The performance deltas between RTX 5070 laptops are thankfully quite small even when comparing the small Razer Blade 14 to the larger Asus ProArt P16.

Lenovo further improved its budget office laptop ThinkPad E16 G3 and the result is a really good office laptop that does not break the bank. The new 120 Hz screen in particular is an excellent choice for productive tasks.

A super-bright display, long battery life and powerful input devices are among the features that distinguish the Huawei MatePad Pro 12.2 (2025). However, the tablet is not entirely free from criticism.

Razer equips the new Blade 18 with a so called dual-mode display, where you can change the frequency from 240 Hz in 4K to 440 Hz in Full-HD. But does that really make sense, or should this have been an optional screen?

The Raptor Lake-H processor just barely outperforms the older Raptor Lake-U option and it even comes in slower in regard to integrated graphics performance.

Some models are becoming increasingly difficult to visually tell apart even for us testers. To laymen, the names "EliteBook X", "EliteBook Ultra", "Envy x360", or "OmniBook x360" may be more confusing than helpful when distinguishing between lower-end and higher-end configurations.

The Huawei MatePad Pro 12.2 is not exactly cheap, but it is still cheaper than tablets from Apple and technically even better in some respects. This includes the high-quality keyboard and trackpad.

The new HP convertible is very competitive at the lower $1000 price range with its 120 Hz OLED touchscreen and sleek metal design. Competitors like Dell have some catching up to do.

The new Razer Blade 18 offers very fast components and is currently one of the fastest laptops you can get. It is even 1 kg lighter and even a bit quieter than the big rival Alienware 18. However, the Razer is also more expensive.

We recently put the Vivo Pad 5 Pro through its paces. Thanks to special software and good accessories, it also doubles as a productivity tablet. But the Anrdoid tablet is currently only available in China. Is a direct import worth it?

Asus' new ExpertBook B5 B5606 is a large business laptop with the latest Intel Arrow Lake processor and a high-resolution 144 Hz IPS display. However, there are quality issues such as the rickety display and weak hinges that prove disruptive in everyday use.

The GT 7 is the latest smartphone from realme that combines performance, stamina and smart software. A large OLED display, a 7,000 mAh battery and numerous AI features make it an exciting option in the upper mid-range.

The inexpensive model can be configured with a metal outer lid and OLED touchscreen for a luxurious touch, but it still ships with one specific feature that we hope will go away sooner rather than later.

Just a few years ago, 32 GB was a luxury, but no more. With memory-hungry AI applications, 32 GB is slowly but surely becoming the new acceptable minimum. And for AMD's Strix Halo platform, 32 GB may not even be the acceptable minimum anymore.
