Acer Aspire Vero 15 (2023) eco laptop review — Notebookcheck

88% Acer Aspire Vero 15 review: The impressive eco laptop with almost no compromises

High-quality waste-laptop. The Acer Aspire Vero 15 surprises not only with a QHD camera, long runtimes and high performance, but it also features a robust and attractive design, good input devices and a bright, colorful display. Furthermore, the office laptop never gets too loud and depending on the model you choose, the price is right, too.

Lenovo Tab M10 5G

83% Lenovo Tab M10 5G in review – Tablet with mobile connections and long battery life

Master of endurance. The Lenovo Tab M10 5G could offer a bit more performance, especially when compared to its rivals. But if you're okay with mid-range power and appreciate occasional charging in addition to a 90 Hz display without PWM, this tablet could be the one for you. We will take a closer look at the tablet's strengths and weaknesses during this test.

HP Pavilion Plus 14 Ryzen 7 laptop review: Changes in all the right places

88% HP Pavilion Plus 14 Ryzen 7 laptop review: Changes in all the right places

Major efficiency gains. Last year's Core i7-12700H was fast, but the switch to Zen 4 has done wonders to battery life and efficiency without needing to sacrifice performance. The OLED display, fast integrated GPU, and affordable starting prices make the Pavilion Plus 14 a great option for students and most casual editors.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 (2023) review: Laptop and desktop benchmarks

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 (2023) review: Laptop and desktop benchmarks

The series' lowest point despite its attractive visuals? Currently, review platforms like Metacritic are being bombarded with negative comments about the new Call of Duty iteration. Aside from the game's scope (DLC content for the price of a full game) being criticized, people also aren't saying the best things about its campaign (missions, story, etc). We have primarily taken a closer look at this new release's tech.

Segway Ninebot KickScooter Max G2 E-Scooter review: Great handling thanks to full hydraulic suspension

Segway Ninebot KickScooter Max G2 E-Scooter review: Great handling thanks to full hydraulic suspension

Possibly reference-grade. The Ninebot KickScooter Max G2 is one of the latest e-scooters from Ninebot/Segway and has a starting price of around €800 (US$857). For that amount of money, you are getting a 551 Wh battery, which should provide a range of up to 70 km (44 mi), a powerful 450 W motor, hydraulic suspension at the front and back, and 10-inch wheels.

Asus Zenbook Pro 16X (2023)

91% Zenbook Pro 16X (2023) review: Maximum power from the Asus flagship at last

The brakes are off: The laptop with that special edge is back. In the new 18 mm thin Zenbook, Asus has installed extremely powerful hardware and finally lets it off the leash. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 in our test unit has up to 140 watts at its disposal and is thus in no way inferior to its siblings in many gaming laptops.

The first 3 nm chip is here. Apple's new M3 SoC is the first chip to be manufactured in a 3 nm process. We've already seen the performance increases in our review of the new MacBook Pro 14, but what about the efficiency of the processor and the graphics card? We also compare the results with the new Snapdragon X Elite from Qualcomm.

Active iPhone cooling on the go. Sharge's latest power bank is designed to work with Apple's MagSafe for newer iPhones. Unlike most wireless charging accessories along those lines, however, it incorporates its own active fan, with RGB lighting to boot. Can its gaming PC-like build make the ICEMAG the ideal on-the-go iPhone charging companion?

88% Asus VivoBook Pro 16 (2023) Laptop Review: Core i9-13900H, RTX 4050, and 3.2K OLED augur well for hobbyist creators

Vivid viewing, middling speeds. The 2023 Asus VivoBook Pro 16 comes across as a capable choice for budding content creators seeking a well-rounded laptop. The combination of a Core i9-13900H, RTX 4050, and the vibrant 3.2K 120 Hz OLED panel indicates good potential, but our review discovers that the VivoBook Pro 16's artistic aspirations are not without limitations.

Powerfully mobile. High performance and long battery life at the same time. Compactly built and well equipped at the same time. The Asus ExpertBook B9 achieves the feat of being a laptop without any notable weaknesses. More so as the equipment leaves hardly anything to be desired - for a price.

Mid-range gamer with an entry-level GPU. The gaming laptop Predator Helios Neo 16 from Acer is supposedly a cheaper alternative to the regular Helios 16, while still offering a variety of mid-range features, such as an extremely robust and sleek case, lots of connectivity options, a desktop-class CPU, as well as a powerful cooling system which makes use of liquid metal.

Lightweight 64 GB RAM. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G11 is the first model of this line with up to 64 GB of RAM. To get this amount of RAM, users have to buy a version with the most powerful P28-CPU, the i7-1370P. Unfortunately, as our review shows, this CPU is ill-suited for this elegant business laptop.

Intel NUC performance without the NUC price. The Ryzen 5560U may be a couple years old, but it performs so similarly to the new Ryzen 5 7530U that most users would be unable to tell the difference especially for basic HTPC purposes. The SER5 is quite the bargain for just $230 USD complete with Windows 11.

Almost perfect. With the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, up to 16 GB of RAM and a 6x camera, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 clearly belongs to the high-end smartphone class, but is still comparatively well-priced. Officially, the 8.03-inch AMOLED foldable is reserved for the Chinese market, which also affects mobile phone coverage. Our review clarifies whether an import purchase is worth it.

Instead, there is a new entry-level model of the MacBook Pro 14 with the base M3-SoC and 8 GB RAM for $1599. However, there are some compromises, especially in terms of connectivity as well as the cooling performance.

Finally USB, but only slow. Not only does the iPhone 15 Plus offer a large display, but it also gets the Dynamic Island for the first time this year. In addition, there is a higher resolution main camera, a slightly more powerful battery, more computing power, and USB-C. All that, Apple tops with a slightly lower price than last year.

It also has a PCIe 4.0 SSD (512 GB), 16 GB of RAM and an FHD panel (144Hz), but Windows doesn’t come preinstalled. One serious drawback: the included charger can sometimes be overloaded by the laptop.

Is AMD's Cezanne still fast enough? Design-wise, the Geekom A5 is similar to the well-known Intel NUC mini PCs which are nowadays marketed by Asus. Although an 8-core, 16-thread AMD Ryzen 7 5800H is at work under the hood, the SoC no longer belongs to the newest models on the market. We have analysed the Geekom A5's performance to see if it is currently still worth your money.

Shimmering lightweight. While hardly weighing 1 kg (~2.2 lb), the subnotebook from LG is very well equipped with the Intel Core i7-1360P, 32 GB of working memory, and OLED display. Aside from the performance, the Gram Style also offers some other qualities. What immediate strikes us, is the case surface that can shimmer in all rainbow colors. And the laptop is also able to operate completely quietly - aside from some strange exception.

Perfect multi-talent! Nowadays, the mini PC market is very saturated. But Khadas has announced a very interesting device: The Mind is supposed to massively widen mini PCs' range of uses. At the same time, the manufacturer has relied on in-house accessories which work together with the Khadas Mind and can supposedly replace a whole range of devices. In this review, we have first taken a look at the base device so you can compare its performance to other mini PCs.

85% Dell Inspiron 14 7435 2-in-1 convertible review: Ryzen 5 7530U for budget users

14-inch AMD convertible for US$550. The Inspiron 14 7435 2-in-1 retails for half the price of many popular alternatives with 360-degree hinges. There are cut corners along the way, of course, but casual home users or students likely won't mind many of the missing features.

No pulsating fans: The MSI Pulse 17 supplies a lot of power to the Intel Core i7 and RTX 4070 while still remaining fairly quiet. However, the connection equipment and screen are also important for a laptop, and the gaming laptop is unable to convince us in those regards.

87% Barely any better than the previous year: 2023 Dell XPS 13 Plus 9320 Core i7-1360P review

Core i7-1360P vs. Core i7-1280P. Dell has updated its XPS 13 Plus 9320 this year with 13th gen Raptor Lake CPUs. Other than the name change, however, everything else remains essentially the same as on last year's Core i7-1280P configuration including even processor performance.

Casiris Tech Omnistar L80 hands-on review: 1080p projector stumbles across the finish line

Casiris Tech Omnistar L80 hands-on review: 1080p projector stumbles across the finish line

Misfiring on most cylinders. The Omnistar L80 is a new projector from Casiris. Billed as the "brightest LCD projector in the world," the Omnistar L80 is a competent projector with a bright, clear picture. However, several small missteps add up to an overall underwhelming package.

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D desktop CPU review: Faster than a Core i9-13900K thanks to 3D V-Cache and only 8 cores

The perfect gaming CPU? The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D features 8 cores and 16 threads, meaning it trails just behind the top-of-the-range models in terms of number of cores. But in our test, the 8-core component showed that it shouldn't be underestimated. In this review, we will be comparing its performance to its in-house competitors as well as its rivals from Intel.

77% Nokia G11 Plus review - Good camera in a cheap 4G phone

Ups and downs. The Nokia G11 Plus is a small update of last year's Nokia G11 with a better camera, slightly larger screen and more modern software. But is the G11 Plus really better than its predecessor in all areas?

Dell Latitude 7440 laptop review: Beating the Latitude 9440 in some key areas

90% Dell Latitude 7440 laptop review: Beating the Latitude 9440 in some key areas

More traditional with less fuss. Unlike the over-the-top Latitude 9440, the Latitude 7440 sticks to tradition to be more down-to-earth and easier to use. The updated 16:10 aspect ratio is always welcomed, but a few features have been lost in the transition.

MSI Stealth 14 Studio review - An expensive gaming laptop that has made too many compromises

85% MSI Stealth 14 Studio review - An expensive gaming laptop that has made too many compromises

RTX 4050 for $1,699.99. The new MSI Stealth 14 Studio was presented at the beginning of this year and aside from targeting gamers, the device also aims to speak to users who are searching for great performance within a compact 14-inch case. The Core i7-13700H and GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop's performance has hit the mark, however, the laptop isn't without its flaws: its keyboard and short runtimes, to name a few.

Durabook R8 review: World's first fanless rugged tablet with Intel 12th gen

80% Durabook R8 review: World's first fanless rugged tablet with Intel 12th gen

No-frills durability. The easy-to-use Durabook R8 is one of the few fanless tablets equipped with an Intel Core U-series CPU. Performance is pared back due to the lack of active cooling, but auxiliary features remain excellent.

81% Geekom Mini IT11 review: The Intel NUC competitor with a Core i7-11390H and USB4 is at its limit

Intel Tiger Lake in the year 2023? The Geekom Mini IT11 currently isn't one of the most powerful devices when it comes to pure performance. However, Geekom have updated their Mini IT11 with a now slightly outdated Intel Core i7-11390H - previously, the PC featured an Intel Core i7-1195G7. Together with modern connectivity options, the Mini IT11 currently still makes for a decent device. As the PC thankfully has a Thunderbolt port, we can also take a look at its gaming performance using an external GPU.

OnePlus Nord 3 in review

88% OnePlus Nord 3 Smartphone Review: Near-flagship experience that doesn't break the bank

Putting the oomph back in the mid-range. The OnePlus Nord 3 brings some much-needed pizzazz in the hotly contested sub-₹35,000 (sub-€500) Android smartphone market. While the Dimensity 9000-powered Nord 3 is a substantial upgrade over the Nord 2 in almost all aspects, the smartphone has several glaring shortcomings as well.
