Our testing of the Vivo X300 Ultra revealed one drawback of Vivo’s new flagship phone. This wasn’t entirely unexpected given the X200 Ultra previously exhibited similar issues. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered device exhibited extremely high power consumption during our review – with potential implications.

The FCC has extended a waiver allowing software and firmware updates for existing foreign-made routers and drones, including TP-Link routers and DJI drones, until January 1, 2029. The decision, framed as a public safety measure, preserves security patches and bug fixes for millions of devices while broader national security restrictions and legal challenges continue.

The new Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo GX651 offers perfect multitasking with two identical OLED touchscreens and good software solutions. The performance of the Panther Lake CPU and the GeForce RTX 5090 is very good, but compared to the predecessor from 2023, the results are slightly disappointing.

The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i G10 with the RTX 5080 was one of the fastest and best gaming laptops we reviewed last year. This is still the case and the SKU powered by the GeForce RTX 5090 can easily keep up even with larger 18-inch rivals.

Lenovo just launched its new gaming laptop Legion 7a 16 G11 and even though the overall package with the lighter chassis is convincing, the price is an issue. Why should you pay more than $2000 when you get the same gaming performance and a great OLED panel with the Legion 5 15 for $1350?

We are taking our OnePlus 15T review as an opportunity to compare the image quality of compact Android phones. This article looks at how well the compact OnePlus phone and its Sony camera stack up against Samsung's high-end phones.

The OnePlus 15T makes a strong impression in our review. Thanks to Qualcomm's high-end chipset and an especially bright OLED screen, the compact OnePlus phone should appeal to fans of smaller smartphones. Battery life is also exceptionally good.

Xiaomi has finally released its Wi-Fi 7 mesh router system internationally. Available across the Eurozone, the Mesh System BE3600 Pro can be purchased as a single router or as a multi-pack that comes preconfigured to work as a mesh network out of the box.

Lenovo's new gaming laptop Legion 7a 16 G11 is even lighter than before and uses a modern AMD processor, but it is slower compared to the Intel HX CPU of the previous generation. The RAM cannot be replaced anymore and the GeForce RTX 5060 is also a bit slower.

Is the Galaxy S26 Plus the "sweet spot" in the S26 series? Our review of the large Android phone makes its limits quite clear. We therefore take a look at who might benefit from buying Samsung's new phone and whether the added cost over the Galaxy S25 Plus is really worth it.

A very powerful processor, long battery runtime, 14-inch OLED and a weight under 1 kg - the refreshed Asus Zenbook A14 is the perfect device for your hand luggage thanks to the low weight and there are not many compromises you have to live with.

Which is the better choice: the Galaxy S26 Plus or the less expensive Galaxy S25 Plus? Based on our review and benchmark data, we show where Samsung's new phone really comes out ahead and where the Android phone actually falls behind despite the new Exynos 2600.

The Zenbook A16 is a very lightweight 16-inch everyday laptop, which is extremely powerful thanks to the new Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme processor. The OLED screen looks great, only the battery runtime could be better.

Intel or AMD: The age old question of the PC market. In case of the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 6, both are available. Which one is best for you depends on your priorities.

The Zenbook A14 model features 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD and a 2K OLED screen, while the A16 model comes with the more powerful Extreme-series processor, 48 GB LPDDR5X-9600 RAM, 1 TB SSD and a 3K OLED display. HP's OmniBook Ultra 14 is also available now, but at a considerably higher price of $2,049.99

Samsung's new Galaxy Book6 Pro is a good 16-inch multimedia laptop with Intel's Panther Lake mobile processors, but the manufacturer charges $2100 for the SKU with the slow iGPU, which is way too expensive.

Xiaomi has finally released its latest Wi-Fi 7 router outside its home market. Now available in Europe, the Xiaomi Router BE19000 Pro offers 18,656 Mpbs transfer speeds, 10 Gigabit Ethernet and even NAS functionality thanks to a built-in M.2 2280 slot.

With the Magic8 Pro Air, Honor offers extensive eye protection features against OLED screen flicker. The thin and lightweight Android smartphone includes a dedicated settings menu designed to provide a more eye-friendly user experience despite PWM.

The compact flagship phone looks very similar to the Apple iPhone Air, but that should not distract from the strong overall package of the Magic8 Pro Air. In many areas, the Android smartphone is at least a class above the Apple device.

The B3 G1 series can be equipped with up to an Intel Core Ultra 7 vPro 265H, 96 GB DDR5-5600 RAM and 6 TB of PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD storage. Both sizes feature 1200p and 1600p IPS screens and the 16-inch model has a 1200p touchscreen option.

MacBook's are very popular among content creators and the two new SoCs M5 Pro as well as M5 Max manage excellent results in the PugetBench tests for Adobe apps and DaVinci Resolve. They also clearly beat the mobile GeForce RTX 5090.

The new Lenovo Thinkpad T1g Gen 9 is an update of one of the most expensive ThinkPad series: It is a premium 16-inch laptop for the multimedia segment with Nvidia GeForce GPUs. The newest model has Intel Panther Lake CPUs, and the new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 with 12 GB VRAM.

Apple's new MacBook Air 15-inch is once again a very good overall package and the combination of the powerful M5 processor and passive cooling solution remain unrivaled. There are still some areas where Apple could improve its larger everyday laptop.

The latest Senza mini PC features the same passive cooling system design from the original model, but adds a detachable front port panel and two more heatpipes. Other outstanding features include 32 GB LPDDR5X-8000 RAM, a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, 2x USB4 and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity.

The AI BOX-A395 SFF workstation from ASRock comes with a stylish aluminum case and handle for portability. Together with the powerful AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU integrating a Radeon 8060S GPU and up to 128 GB LPDDR5X-8000 RAM, ASRock offers an internal PSU, dual BIOS for increased security and an extensive port selection including 2x USB4, 5x video outs, 2.5 Gbps + 10 Gbps NICs and Wi-Fi 7.

Apple's new M5 Max SoC shows its full potential in the larger MacBook Pro 16 and the performance is noticeably better compared to the MacBook Pro 14. The performance is also stable, and the fans are quieter at the same time.

UniFi 10.2 brings new features to the controller from Ubiquiti Networks. A feature called Time Machine can track disruptions on a timeline, for example. And a troublesome device in the announcement video is cheering up the Ubiquiti community that has been dealing with issues related to Sonos.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is currently one of the most demanding games and is even a challenge for powerful multimedia laptops. We were therefore very impressed that the new MacBook Air 15 M5 manages more than 30 fps without throttling or any fan noises.

While the old MacBook Air 13 M4 was already a great everyday laptop for many users, the 256 GB SSD in the base model was not ideal. The new M5 model now gets a 512 GB SSD be default, so it is the best version for the majority of people.

All new TravelMate P4 and P2 models are powered by up to an Intel Core Ultra 7 365 processor with up to 64 GB DDR5 RAM and up to 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD storage. Screen options include 1920 x 1200 and 2880 x 1800 IPS panels and the laptops come with Thunderbolt 4 ports, Wi-Fi 7 connectivity and fingerprint sensor plus Intel vPro security.

Highlights for one of the first mini PCs to be equipped with Intel's next gen desktop processors includes support for DDR5-8000 RAM, 2x PCIe 5.0 SSD slots, low-profile dGPU support via horizontal riser, plus a multitude of ports including Thunderbolt.

Samsung's OLED screens have not been very competitive in 2025, especially in terms of brightness. The new Galaxy Book6 Ultra finally gets an improved ILED panel, but competitors with tandem OLED screens or Mini-LED panels still have an advantage.

Apple's new MacBook Air with the small M5 SoC is extremely efficient while gaming. During our tests, we recorded a SoC consumption of just 7-8 Watts, which means the gaming performance is also rock solid despite the passive cooling solution.
