Review Snippet

The Xiaomi Poco Pad M1 is not only a large tablet with powerful multimedia features, but with the right accessories, it can also be a real asset to your productivity. We provide you with an overview.

The bigger size allows for larger, quieter fans and more space on the motherboard for OcuLink support and three full-size M.2 2280 SSDs.

On paper, the two Xiaomi tablets, the Poco Pad M1 and the Redmi Pad 2 Pro, are identical, but there are a few subtle differences. We'll show you what they are.

The Poco Pad M1 performed excellently in our review and proved to be a powerful multimedia tablet that also offers features such as a jack connection and microSD support. We'll summarize everything for you again.

If you're looking for a smartphone with long battery life, a good display and extended security updates, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G is a great choice. However, there are a few potential drawbacks to be aware of.

The new Lenovo ThinkPad T1g Gen 8 is definitely a flagship model and offers perfect build quality, good maintenance options, a modern tandem OLED screen and very good input devices. We would like to see these features in more ThinkPads again.

The year-over-year raw CPU performance benefits are minimal on the surface, but they widen in favor of Intel's new Panther Lake series once throttling is accounted for.

How close does Intel's newest Panther Lake Arc B390 iGPU come to the Strix Halo Radeon 8060S?

The Alliwava GH8 positions itself as a powerful mini PC with AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS and promises a successful combination of high performance and efficient operation. In this review, we put the compact system under the microscope in everyday use, compared it with comparable models, and checked how convincing the cooling, noise level, features, and price are in the overall package.

The ExpertBook Ultra is just barely over 1 kilogram and it can already run games almost as well as most budget gaming laptops over twice the size. Unfortunately, make sure you're next to a power outlet.

With its Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, Xiaomi’s new high-end smartphone delivers impressive performance. We take a closer look at how the Qualcomm SoC behaves under sustained load. Even after a stress test and significant heat buildup, Google’s latest flagship doesn’t stand a chance.

The Core Ultra X7 demands just a fraction of the power of gaming laptops powered by GeForce RTX 3050 or RTX 4050 graphics while coming quite close in terms of performance when playing select titles.

Lenovo's ThinkPad T1g Gen 8 is a sleek and powerful multimedia laptop, which does not use professional graphics cards. The problem is that most customers simply do not recognize the new model name.

The Apex 16 Max and the Pro 16 from the German manufacturer XMG are two very similar laptops with the fastest version of the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. But which of the two processors - AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX or Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX - is a better partner for the GPU?

If you want to buy a notebook, you should know that CPUs offer very different performance values depending on the TDP limit. Our review of the new high-end phone from Xiaomi with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 indicates that there could be also differences in performance between smartphones due to different power consumption limits.

The Xiaomi 17 Ultra, equipped with its Leica camera system, is one of the best high-end smartphones of 2026. But can this Android flagship also deliver when it comes to video quality? We take a look at 4K footage to see what the new Xiaomi device is capable of and compare its performance with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Even seven years after the introduction of 5G, there are still smartphones without the latest mobile standard. But is that really so bad? We'll take a look at the Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 4G to see if the lack of 5G in everyday use is even noticeable.

We have the new flagship smartphone from Xiaomi in our review and take this as an opportunity for a photo comparison with the Galaxy S25 Ultra as one of the best camera phones of 2025. You can see how good the Xiaomi 17 Ultra´s Leica camera is in this article.

Xiaomi's flagship phone is one of the best Android smartphones in 2026. However, the global version of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra is still a long way off. We take a look at the differences between the European and Chinese versions of the high-end smartphone.

The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is positioned as a serious alternative to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max. Equipped with the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, the flagship impresses with cutting-edge technology and impressive performance. In our detailed review, you can find out whether the Xiaomi 17 Ultra is worth buying and how it compares directly with the leading models on the market.

SD card readers have almost completely disappeared from gaming laptops, especially in the budget segment. Models such as the MSI Katana 17, Lenovo LOQ 17, and Omen 16 no longer include one at all. Acer is taking a different approach with its Nitro lineup: both the Nitro V 14 and the Nitro V 17 still feature a built-in SD card reader. We put this into perspective and explain how well the card reader actually performs—and who will truly benefit from it in everyday use.

The Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G is one of the top phones in Xiaomi’s current mid-range lineup. For good photos, it sports a camera with a high resolution and zoom feature. But is the image quality really that good in everyday use?

When people ask which ThinkPad to buy, probably the most common answer is the ThinkPad T series and more specifically, the ThinkPad T14. But there are also other models, like the ThinkPad L14 we just reviewed. Here are the key differences.

No one expects an OLED or Mini-LED panel in the budget segment. A modern Full HD display with decent brightness, reasonable response times, and acceptable color reproduction, however, is a fair expectation. This is exactly where the Acer Nitro V 17 shows one of its biggest weaknesses. Acer cuts corners on the display to a degree that makes it stand out negatively—even among budget competitors—and this alone could be a dealbreaker for many buyers.

In the last few years, Lenovo always kept the ThinkPad L series confined to older AMD CPUs. With the Lenovo ThinkPad L14 Gen 6 AMD, this is no longer the case! Thanks to newer Krackan Point CPUs, the newest model is more attractive than the ThinkPad E14 Gen 7 AMD.

Integrated GPUs like the Radeon 780M or Arc 140V rely heavily on dual-channel memory for performance. Otherwise, expect graphics performance to drop by as much as 40 to 50 percent.

The Acer Nitro V 17 and Lenovo LOQ 17 are currently among the most affordable 17-inch gaming laptops equipped with Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 graphics. Both start at around €1,249, yet despite similar pricing and comparable core specs, they take noticeably different approaches. We’ve tested both models and break down which laptop is the better fit for which type of gamer.

The Tecra A65-M would have been a stellar budget-oriented business laptop if it weren't for its poor choice of IPS panels and lack of sRGB colors.

Huawei is asking almost €1400 for its new flagship smartphone, the Pura 80 Ultra, but claims to offer buyers top-notch camera quality. The lenses are even said to be among the best in their field. This is true, but as our review shows, the Pura 80 Ultra falls short in other areas.

In our test, the Acer Nitro V 17 stands out as one of the most power-efficient RTX 5070 gaming laptops in its class. It may not be the fastest option available, but it makes up for that with significantly lower power draw, noticeably quieter operation, and an unusually well-balanced performance package for budget-conscious gamers.

The Geekom A7 Max is based on the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS and combines the powerful CPU with a high-quality, compact housing and extensive connectivity. In our detailed test, we examined how the mini PC performs in everyday use and in direct comparison with the competition.

The XMG Apex 16 Max currently starts at €2,100 and is equipped with the 140W version of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop with 12 GB VRAM. You also get 32 GB RAM, a powerful HX CPU from AMD as well as a good IPS or even an optional Mini-LED screen.

The Teclast T60 Pro aims to offer the highest quality Android tablet possible for around $160, including a large 12-inch display, stylus input, metal casing and even an LTE/GPS modem.

Has Xiaomi delivered again? This was the question we asked ourselves prior to reviewing the Redmi Note 15 4G. In many areas, such as battery life, display and security updates, it is an absolute winner in view of its €200 price tag. But what about the cameras?

The Acer Nitro V 17 AI is currently one of the most affordable 17-inch gaming laptops with an RTX 5070. Our test shows that, despite the low price, Acer delivers more than just performance – the laptop impresses with efficiency and surprisingly quiet operation.

Lenovo's ThinkPad P16v Gen 3 is a mobile workstation that wants to convince with a good price-performance ratio. To keep the price down, the manufacturer saves some money in regard to the chassis stability, hinges as well as the keyboard, which are typically strengths of the ThinkPad series.

The Honor Magic8 Pro has already demonstrated in our review that it offers significant benefits for eye health in terms of display technology, but it goes one step further by offering flicker detection. We tested this feature.

Honor has long boasted that its smartphones offer a particularly wide range of features for protecting the eyes. The Magic8 Pro now goes one step further and offers its own settings menu for an optimal viewing experience. We provide you with an overview.

In our review, the Honor Magic8 Pro proved to be one of the smartphones with a super-bright display, reaching up to 6,000 cd/m² and going down to 1 cd/m². However, there is a problem with the minimum brightness.

When we tested the Dell Pro 14 Plus laptop, we were shocked by the quality of its screen. It is just not up to par, despite the fact that we chose the top model of the PB14255 for the German market. The worst thing: Dell has better screens available, they just do not use them.

A few years ago, Dell introduced "Concept Luna", a modular, more repairable way to design laptop. With the latest Dell Pro 14 Plus, Dell for sure has made progress in terms of sustainability when it comes to materials and packaging. Sadly, modularity and repairability lags behind the competition.

Mobile workstations are often synonymous with fast components and professional graphics cards. However, many manufacturers actually do not use the fastest versions of the components, and the recently reviewed ThinkPad P16v Gen 3 is a good example.

We know that Samsung can make good tablets, but the price-performance ratio does not always hold up. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A11 Plus is different, as Android users can get decent performance and even optional 5G connectivity for a reasonable amount of money.

Honor has tweaked many aspects of the Magic8 Pro without reinventing its flagship smartphone. Nevertheless, it has been enhanced with many small updates and the new AI button.

Priced at less than €1,000, the Asus ExpertBook PM3 is a good office laptop with a modern AMD CPU and aluminum chassis. You also get a comfortable keyboard and a three-year warranty as well as updates for five years by default.

On paper, the Magic8 Pro's camera setup appears somewhat reduced compared to the Magic7 Pro, but this is not necessarily reflected in everyday use. We made the comparison.

Of the big three in the PC space, Dell was the manufacturer that was most loyal to Intel's CPU. In their commercial Dell Latitude lineup, no system used AMD CPUs. With the newer Dell Pro lineup, this is no longer the case: Dell is finally offering AMD CPUs in models like the Dell Pro 14 Plus.

How long does Samsung's affordable 5G tablet really last and how quickly does the battery recharge? We put the Galaxy Tab A11+ 5G through our battery life and charging tests and show where it scores points and where it falls short.

The Ugee UT3 is significantly larger and comes with more accessories than the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+, but is only around $20 cheaper. Is it a bargain in the end? Or are savings being made in the wrong areas? We made the comparison.

The Pura 80 Pro impressively demonstrates that Huawei can still build good smartphones in 2025 despite ongoing trade restrictions. The camera stands out in particular with its 1-inch main sensor. However, the price is likely to be a deal-breaker for many potential buyers.
