Most laptops do not have a dedicated GPU these days, so having one should be a great advantage. It generally is, but in the case of the expensive premium laptop Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 9, the Nvidia RTX GPU is its main weakness.

The updated MacBook Pro 14 offers an excellent OLED panel and improved battery life. However, there are no new processors, and cooling is less effective than before.

Our review measurements show that the new Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max aims to impress with volume, while Apple's best tablet remains unbeaten in pink noise linearity. The Apple iPad Pro 13 is a reliable choice for audio enthusiasts, particularly when it comes to bass and depth.

The new Xiaomi Pad 9 combines a bright 144 Hz display without PWM, a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 with 12 GB of LPDDR5T RAM, and WiFi 7 into a compelling package for around $500. However, our review shows that Xiaomi needs to step up its mid-range offering with the Xiaomi Pad 10 to keep pace with competing tablets.

The Asus ProArt P14 gives the MacBook Pro 14 a powerful 14-inch rival. A direct comparison of the two high-end multimedia laptops reveals no clear winner.

Apple has redesigned the MacBook Pro, making the new OLED model noticeably lighter and more compact. However, cooling suffers as a result, and the fans are louder than before.

The Xiaomi Pad 9 impresses in our review with an excellent overall package. However, Xiaomi continues to omit a fingerprint sensor from its mid-range tablet, leaving buyers with only insecure 2D facial recognition instead. What looks like a simple cost-cutting measure on the spec sheet quickly becomes an annoyance in everyday use.

A huge, sharp display takes its toll on battery life in our testing - most of the time, at least. However, Xiaomi's XXL tablet keeps going through even the longest Netflix series marathon. With its 12,000 mAh battery and 120-watt charging, the Pad 9 Pro Max shows Apple and Samsung how it's done.

The new Asus ProArt P14 is a powerful 14-inch laptop equipped with Nvidia's RTX Spark N1X SoC. It also features an excellent 120 Hz tandem OLED touchscreen.

Apple is using a tandem OLED display in its MacBook Pro for the first time. With its incredible brightness, perfect image quality and AdobeRGB coverage, it immediately sets a new benchmark for laptop displays.

Anyone looking for a tablet for around $500 today often ends up choosing an Apple iPad. But the brand-new Xiaomi Pad 9 offers much more tablet for the money. In particular, the displays on the iPad 11 and iPad Air 2026 are leagues behind Xiaomi's mid-range offering. Read this review comparison to find out why switching to Android is worthwhile.

A second screen boosts productivity in the home office. But monitors take up a lot of space and are not truly portable. The new Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max solves this problem and proves to be a real hidden gem in our review, even on the go. With its 13.3-inch display in a productivity-friendly 3:2 aspect ratio, the Xiaomi tablet becomes a secondary touchscreen monitor with a simple cable connection.

Apple has not resolved the inadequate power supply issue on the redesigned MacBook Pro 14 OLED either. Under heavy load, the battery drains by up to 15% per hour, despite the power adapter connected.

When one buys and expensive 16-inch laptop as their personal workhorse, the decision is one not to be taken likely - especially with the current prices. While the Apple MacBook Pro 16 seems like an obvious choice, there are also other worthwhile options, like the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 9.

To assess graphics performance beyond GPU benchmarks, we tested current Android games on the Xiaomi tablet using GameBench. This lets us measure exact frame rates and frame rate stability for the XRing O3. Read our review to find out whether the new Pad 9 Pro Max is a good choice for gamers.

Gaming on Googlebooks is generally limited to Android titles, but Nvidia's GeForce Now also makes it possible to stream regular PC games.

Microsoft updates its compact Surface Pro 12 with an efficient Snapdragon X2 Plus processor and a new 90 Hz display, although its quality is slightly worse than before.

Lenovo is currently the only manufacturer offering a 15-inch Googlebook, but its chassis feels relatively cheap. The OLED screen generally delivers good image quality, but there are color management issues here too.

Xiaomi smartphones and tablets running HyperOS 4 now offer native multi language support even when imported directly from China. This means the new Pad 9 Pro Max is no longer limited to English or Chinese. No PC, laptop or root access is required.

The Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max's huge 13.3-inch display with a 144 Hz refresh rate is the perfect gaming accessory. Whether you use a Nintendo Switch 2 or a Steam Deck, Xiaomi's new flagship tablet solves the problem of small handheld screens with a brilliant feature that almost no other tablet has - a video input.

In our review, the new Surface Laptop 13 proves to be a good everyday laptop, but its price is the problem. The significantly better Surface Laptop 13.8 is often already available for less and is better in almost every respect.

We compare the 2026 iPad Air with the new 2026 MatePad Air, which we are currently reviewing. The Android tablet's matte OLED panel is a compelling reason to buy it, and Huawei's first-class iPad alternative is also surprisingly strong when it comes to its speakers.

Thanks to its matte display, the new Huawei MatePad Air (2026) proves to be an e-reader alternative without the usual compromises in speed and response times. The Android tablet combines a large, glare-free screen with vibrant colors and a smooth 144 Hz refresh rate.

Thanks to its efficient Snapdragon X2 Plus processor, the new Surface Laptop 13 is virtually always silent in everyday use, making it the best Windows alternative to the passively cooled MacBook Air.

In our review, the Huawei MatePad Air (2026) performs anything but well in graphics benchmarks. However, our gaming tests reveal surprisingly high frame rates for this slim Android tablet. Combined with its excellent sound, Huawei's iPad alternative has plenty to offer casual gamers.

Apple has unveiled its first MacBook with an OLED panel. However, we are not getting a completely new device, as the manufacturer has largely retained the familiar design of previous MacBook Pro models.

The MatePad Air with its 12-inch OLED panel is super thin and also fairly lightweight. In addition to its matte screen, the mid-range tablet impresses with an excellent speaker system. This makes the Android tablet a clear recommendation for audio enthusiasts.

With its new Googlebooks, Google is once again trying to gain market share in the laptop segment. However, various limitations and high prices currently make large Android tablets the better choice.

This is an exciting week for Apple fans: A new MacBook is making its debut. For the first time, Apple is equipping its laptops with an OLED display and giving the chassis a new design and maybe even a 5G module.

The Surface Laptop Ultra is Microsoft's new high-end laptop. In some areas, however, it gives the impression of copying Apple's MacBook Pro, particularly with its Mini-LED display and magnetic USB-C charging port.

Microsoft uses a Mini-LED display in the new Surface Laptop Ultra that is extremely bright at up to 2,000 nits, but lacks local dimming and suffers from slow response times.

The new Asus ProArt P16 is an extremely slim multimedia laptop with an outstanding 4K tandem OLED panel, great input devices and an excellent sound system. It is therefore likely to become the biggest Windows rival to the upcoming Apple MacBook Ultra.

We have just reviewed the new Asus ProArt P16. However, with last year's 2025 model still on sale, the question is: Who is the RTX Spark version suited to, and who should opt for the combination of an AMD processor and a GeForce graphics card instead?

The Asus ProArt P16 2026 combines the new Nvidia RTX Spark N1X with an exceptionally slim and light 16-inch chassis, an excellent tandem OLED panel, and outstanding speakers.

Googlebooks are here, featuring high-quality OLED displays that promise full P3 coverage and accurate colors. The reality is currently different, however: the Googlebook operating system only uses the small sRGB color space, and color accuracy also leaves something to be desired.

For its Googlebook, Asus utilizes the high-end chassis of the ExpertBook Ultra, resulting in a device that weighs less than one kilogram. However, the new Googlebook OS remains a limiting factor.

The new HP Googlebook 14c combines a high-quality chassis, a high-resolution OLED display, and a Snapdragon processor with Google's new operating system. The result is an expensive laptop with significant limitations.
