Wi-Fi 7

The latest Apple Mac mini retains its familiar chassis but delivers outstanding single-core and multi-core performance, thanks to the new M6 chip built using the 2NM process, that significantly outpaces the immediate competition from AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm.

The 2026 Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 is once again a slim high-end gaming laptop. The switch to Intel's Panther Lake processor improves efficiency and battery runtimes, while the improved cooling performance increases the gaming performance despite identical GPUs.

With the new Element 16, Schenker introduces a versatile 16-inch multimedia laptop powered by Intel Panther Lake processors. The manufacturer places a strong emphasis on excellent maintenance and repair options.

The 2026 ROG Zephyrus G16 is equipped with a more powerful version of the RTX 5080 and Asus even allows a maximum TGP of 160 Watts in manual mode. However, this setting is too demanding for the cooling solution and the actual gaming performance actually drops a bit.

The Starlink Router 4's PoE compatibility makes wiring a NAS box or mesh extenders tucked in awkward corners of the house easier. All those peak Wi-Fi 7 speeds, however, are dependent on SpaceX's gigabit satellite constellation launch.

We recently reviewed the Oppo Pad 6, and just like its predecessor, it has Wi-Fi issues: Despite supporting Wi-Fi 7, data rates are low and fluctuate. We’ll take a closer look at the issue and possible causes.

Ubiquiti Networks has just announced a new home WiFi and router solution. Whole Home WiFi can be considered an AmpliFi successor, built with 5 GHz and 6 GHz meshing. The system is also part of the UniFi ecosystem and can be combined with Ubiquiti's travel router.

The Apple MacBook Pro 16 2026 sets new benchmarks with the M5 Max and stands as the most powerful Apple laptop currently on the market. In terms of CPU performance, it outperforms Windows rivals, sometimes by a factor of two, even when running on battery power.

Apple still ships the MacBook Pro 16 with the familiar 140W power adapter, which is insufficient under full load and the battery has to step in to fill the gap. Even a more powerful power adapter does not solve the issue, though.

D-Link is expanding its enterprise lineup with the new DAP-E3620 access point series. The three BE3600 Wi-Fi access points bring Wi-Fi 7 with MLO and 4K-QAM to ceiling-mounted, wall-mounted and outdoor installations, with 2.5Gbps PoE connectivity included.

We got reports that Apple has reduced the performance of the M5 Max via software updates after the release. We checked these claims and can confirm a performance reduction to a certain extent, but it depends on the power profile.

The new HP EliteBook 8 G2a 14 AI aims to lead the business class with up-to-date AMD power, a superb keyboard, and an extremely energy-efficient display. Yet, this expensive, long-lasting machine stumbles when it comes to its aluminum chassis.

The new Asus ExpertBook PM5 G2 impresses with a matte 144 Hz WQHD display, a powerful Ryzen CPU, and solid battery life. This 16-inch business notebook is well-equipped for the demands of the workday.

The Asus ProArt PZ14 is a very slim multimedia convertible with strong CPU performance and an amazing 144 Hz OLED touchscreen, which offers very accurate color profiles. The GPU performance on the other hand is not great, which is falling behind the current rivals from Intel and AMD.

Touchscreens can have a negative impact on the image quality, which is also the case for some OLED models from Asus' ProArt series. The creator tablet ProArt PZ14, however, features a gorgeous 144 Hz OLED touchscreen without any issues.

Lenovo is not marketing its ThinkPad X9-15p Gen 1 Aura Edition with its repairability front and center, but in our review, we found out that this Lenovo laptop is actually very modular.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X9-15p Gen 1 Aura Edition is a premium laptop with a 15.3-inch screen. It competes with the Apple MacBook lineup, and when you buy it, you always get at least 32 GB RAM as the minimum.

Lenovo's business flagship ThinkPad X1 Carbon is now available in its 14th generation. We compare the current model with the X1 Carbon from 2019 (G7) and check the progress, which is sometimes smaller than you might expect, especially regarding the chassis.

This 2025 model also features a 16-inch 2560 x 1600 IPS screen, 32 GB DDR5-5600 RAM, 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, USB4 and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, all packed in a light chassis that weighs ~1.9 kg.

Asus offers a new base model for the ProArt PX13 convertible. For $1899, you get a slower Strix Halo CPU, but still the powerful Radeon 8060S. The compact device also offers a 2.8K OLED screen, 32 GB RAM and a 512 GB SSD.

Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 14 uses a new chassis as well as efficient Panther Lake processors. An efficient IPS touchscreen enables impressive battery runtimes while excellent input devices and optional 5G connectivity ensure a great mobile working experience.

Lenovo offers its high-end business laptop ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 14 with IPS as well as OLED panels. This does not only change the image quality, but also battery runtimes, the thickness of the chassis as well as the weight. This is a bit of an issue, because the differences are not small.

In our review, the new Oppo Pad 5 Pro impresses with its long‑lasting battery and large 13.2‑inch display. However, its rather weak speakers, substantial weight, and the absence of a desktop mode detract from the overall impression of this premium tablet. This review summary explains which users will still find this large Android tablet a worthwhile purchase.

Asus equips the Zenbook S14 with Intel's new Panther Lake processors and the result is more CPU performance. You also get a larger battery and a brighter OLED screen, but the graphics performance is a disappointment.

The attractively priced Oppo Pad 5 Pro delivers top‑tier performance and exceptional battery life thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, all housed in a premium aluminum unibody chassis. However, in the area that matters most for a high‑end tablet — the 13.2‑inch display — this Android device shows a few minor shortcomings.

If you are looking for the ultimate high-end gaming laptop, the new 2026 Razer Blade 18 is definitely a good option. Powered by the latest Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus and the familiar Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090, it is equipped with the fastest mobile components you can get.

The Asus Zenbook S14 2026 is equipped with a modern Panther Lake processor from Intel. This results in more CPU performance as well as improved efficiency, but the lower GPU performance also illustrates the big issue of the current CPU generation, and it will not be an improvement for all users.

A full day of browsing on a super‑thin 13.2‑inch tablet? No problem for the Oppo Pad 5 Pro. In our review, the premium tablet lasted twice as long as both the iPad Air 13 and the iPad Pro. And the big Oppo tablet has even more to offer when it comes to battery performance.

What target audience is Sony trying to reach with its new flagship phone? With its unique features, Sony clearly sets itself apart from the competition. Yet, when it comes to the OLED display and overall dimensions, the new Xperia generation follows mainstream trends. Is Sony missing a clear strategy.

The current 2026 Razer Blade 18 is still one of the fastest 18-inch gaming laptops, but the overall performance did not change, despite the small CPU upgrade. This is a problem, because the price is much higher than before due to the current memory prices.

The ability to record high‑quality video on a smartphone is becoming increasingly important, whether for social media or for capturing personal moments. With the Xperia 1 VIII, Sony aims to position itself among the most capable video‑focused smartphones, drawing on Alpha‑derived features such as S‑Cinetone and AI‑powered real‑time tracking. We’ve also examined how the Xperia’s cameras compare with those of the Oppo Find X9 Ultra.

Sony’s new flagship smartphone leverages the expertise of the Alpha camera lineup, including an AI‑driven assistant. After completing our review, we’re comparing the camera system of Sony’s latest Android flagship with Oppo’s newest high‑end model to determine whether Sony’s imaging performance can actually pull ahead.

The Sony Xperia 1 VIII earned a strong overall score in our review. However, Sony once again falls short of the Android elite in terms of its built‑in hardware - particularly in terms of display, battery, and camera.

Microsoft now offers its compact Surface Laptop 13.8 with the updated Snapdragon X2 Elite processors. The entry-level model with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD storage costs at least $1599, while the much lighter Asus Zenbook A14 with the faster X2 Elite SoC starts at $1349.
