Agile and foldable The Urtopia Carbon Fold 2 is a lightweight, foldable e-bike designed for everyday use. In our test, we assess both its practicality in daily riding and its advertised folding mechanism. The Carbon Fold 2 performs well overall, although the battery setup raises a few concerns.

Small but powerful. With the Nexode Air 65W GaN, Ugreen offers an exceptionally compact USB-C fast charger that combines modern GaN technology with up to 65 watts of charging power. It is aimed at users who want to charge a smartphone, tablet, and laptop with a single power adapter whenever possible. Read our review for the full details.

The SK-07 has arrived. This time, Loop Gear has opted for a more traditional design, though the flashlight still stands out from the competition with its unconventional controls and finish.

Snappier with Snapdragon. Despite all the criticisms about the Snapdragon X1E series, Qualcomm is back this year with Snapdragon X2E. Results are extremely speedy beating out even the Intel Panther Lake Core X9 series in many ways.

Red Legion. Lenovo's Legion brand premium to mid-range gaming laptops. The Lenovo Legion 5 15AGP11 is mid-range, making some compromises, but still including high-quality components, like an OLED screen. With the combination of AMD Ryzen CPUs and Nvidia GeForce, this laptop is a strong performer in our review.

Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus & RTX 5090. The Razer Blade 18 is one of the fastest gaming laptops and the 2026 model now features Intel's latest Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus in combination with the familiar GeForce RTX 5090 and the dual-mode 4K IPS screen with 240 or 440 Hz. However, the price is now much higher than before.

A compact flash that punches well above its price tag The Viltrox Vintage Z1 Pro packs TTL, manual flash control and a retro-ish design into a compact body for just $59.99. After testing it extensively with the Fujifilm X100VI, it turned out to be a very dependable companion for travel and street photography despite a few minor inconveniences.

Master of the Silhouette. The Motorola Edge 70 Pro stands out for its light weight, sleek and attractive design, high-quality camera features, and good battery life. The price is also reasonable. In this review, we’ll take a detailed look at what this high-end phone has to offer and also address one major drawback.

Choosing between LCD and e-ink for your use-case Huion has expanded its digital notebook line with the $369 Note E and the $369 Huion Ink. We tested both 8.4-inch LCD and 10.3-inch e-Ink models to see which hardware approach handles daily note-taking and reading tasks better.

More battery power, fewer power outlets. Long battery life, an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, and a 16-inch display: The Geekom GeekBook M16 aims to impress with its endurance and modern features in everyday use. Our in-depth review will reveal whether the laptop excels in performance, display, and build quality—or if it has any shortcomings.

A for All daily affairs. The Samsung Galaxy A57 5G builds on its proven strengths: a brilliant display, long battery life, and solid performance. This review shows why this mid-range phone is impressive—and where a lack of innovation and minor shortcomings detract from the overall impression.

Mobile mixing. The Maono P1 audio interface offers creators and gamers a capable audio interface that can be used to make broadcasts from laptops and phones. The mixer provides high mic gain, a low noise floor, and high-resolution music output.

Strong, but not good enough? Sony's flagship phone is significantly lighter and more compact than a Galaxy S26 Ultra or Xiaomi 17 Ultra, but is also said to be equipped with top-of-the-line cameras. It also features a 3.5-mm headphone jack and a microSD slot. Read the review to find out why the Xperia 1 VIII falls short of the “high-end” designation.

Almost like the X1 Carbon. The new ThinkPad T14s Gen 7 is a premium 14-inch business laptop and Lenovo equipped it with a completely redesigned and lighter chassis. Our review unit features AMD's Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 CPU, 64 GB RAM and a matte IPS-touchscreen. Update: Comparison with the X1 Carbon

A solid alternative to DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4/4P. The Luna Ultra is Insta360’s first gimbal camera that features a dual-lens design and a detachable screen. The gimbal camera offers versatile shooting modes with Leica and film effects. We tested it to see how well it works.

Petite e-reader. The Boox Go 6 (Gen 2) is an Android e-reader with a paper-like display, making it a versatile device for reading, writing, and note-taking.

A sensible choice. The Creality K2 Combo targets beginners with high-quality prints, simple operation, and dependable multicolor printing via CFS. Our review shows just how impressive its print quality and feature set are, as well as where Creality makes compromises despite the attractive price.

A standout. Most laptops fade into the familiar grey and black crowd, but the vivid Surge Green version of the Lenovo LOQ 15AHP11 refuses to blend in. Our review finds out whether this 15-inch gaming laptop has the inner muscle to match its eye-catching exterior.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, Apple iPhone Air—there’s a trend toward ultra-thin smartphones. To complement this trend, Baseus offers an ultra-thin magnetic power bank, the PicoGo Air. With a 5000 mAh capacity, it’s designed to keep smartphones powered through the day. Charging data and temperature can be read via NFC.

One of the best everyday laptops? Microsoft now offers its Surface Laptop 13.8 with new Snapdragon X2 ARM chips from Qualcomm with better performance and longer battery runtimes. You still get the bright IPS screen as well as comfortable input devices, which makes it a really good overall package.

Colors instead of features. The INNOCN CB32U1 targets creative professionals and Mac users with its 4K resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, and high color accuracy. In our review, the 32-inch monitor impresses with exceptionally high contrast for an IPS panel, although it makes a few compromises in terms of features and build quality.

Better or just more expensive? Microsoft updates its Surface Pro convertible with Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X2 Elite SoCs. All the other aspects pretty much remained unchanged, but since it is 2026, you have to pay more. While business customers can once again get Intel CPUs, private customers are still limited to ARM SoCs.

Recording... in progress! Our hands-on test shows what the P1 Pro AI Recorder from iFLYTEK can do, in which situations it is best used, and what the final result looks like.

Ultra performance without the Ultra name. The new OmniBook X Flip 14 is even more impressive than the OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 with more CPU performance, more ports, and a revised keyboard and look. However, most SKUs are limited to just a 60 Hz touchscreen despite the ~$1500 asking price.

Expensive package but with features to back it up. The Arctis Nova Pro Omni builds on the strong foundation of the popular Arctis Nova Pro Wireless headset. They improve on all key features, including sound quality, battery life, and connectivity, but with a slightly higher price tag.

Compact and affordable. The handy Vivo X300 FE costs half as much as the Ultra model and cuts corners in all the right places: The battery is barely smaller, some cameras are more light-sensitive, and when it comes to performance, the phone can handle almost anything. Is Vivo producing the strongest competitor to its top-of-the-line model?

Small but mighty? An AI assistant in the form of a wearable device—small and compact, with the power of ChatGPT. How mighty is the Mini AI Recorder, and for whom is it designed for? Here is our review.

Walled garden. With the Galaxy Buds4 series, Samsung aims not only to improve sound quality but also to set new standards in comfort, noise cancellation, and AI features. We’ve thoroughly tested the new in-ear headphones and highlight where they excel and where there’s still room for improvement.

Quiet media server. The TerraMaster F4-425 Pro doubles the number of its processor cores to eight, offering twice the performance of its predecessor. With its quiet fans and sleek metal chassis, the NAS is an impressive backup solution and media server, but its higher price puts it in competition with some even faster alternatives.

Strong performance at low volume. The GMKtec NucBox K17 combines the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V with a quiet cooling system and high energy efficiency. In this review, we’ll examine how this compact mini-PC performs in everyday use, under heavy load, and with multimedia and office applications, as well as its strengths and weaknesses compared to the competition.

Uncommon Ryzen 9 8940HX processor. The Crosshair A16 HX is laser-focused on optimizing CPU and GPU performance alongside a high quality IPS display while trimming away luxuries like RGB lights, long battery life, good speakers, G-Sync, and Advanced Optimus. Gamers on tighter budgets may find the Crosshair worthwhile.

Audiophile unlocked. I've tested quite a few headphones over the years, but I wanted to find out what a truly expensive pair feels and sounds like in comparison. Can you actually hear the difference without being a hardcore audiophile? I put the new Audeze MM-520, priced at $1,700, to the test.

Subtle yet powerful. The Amazfit Cheetah 2 Pro is a capable smartwatch with premium materials and a fairly compact yet very bright AMOLED display. It delivers a convincing performance in our test, but one design decision still bothers us.

A high-capacity campsite workhorse with bougie quality-of-life features. The BougeRV F01 is a heavy-duty portable fan built around a large 20,000mAh internal battery and features a persistent Bluetooth control module. Outperforming standard portable fans in raw air velocity, it handles outdoor environments with ease.

Fast charger. The Cuktech 30 Ultra desktop charging station delivers up to 300 W—optionally through just one port. Our review reveals what that means and what else this desktop power source has to offer for laptops, smartphones, and other devices.

Premium keyboad, sensible pricing. The Akko Air 01 is a mechanical low-profile keyboard with a Mac-first layout, but it has proper Windows support. The 75% wireless keyboard has a gasket mount style, a premium aluminum chassis, hot-swappable switches, and a slim design. It retails for $99.99, making it pretty affordable.

V6 Unfolded. The Honor Magic V6 combines an extremely slim design with a large battery, powerful specs, and versatile cameras. Despite only minor improvements over its predecessor, its performance and everyday usability are impressive, even if the under-display camera and cooling system still have room for improvement.

Panther ThinkBook. A laptop north of €1,000 is hardly a budget system, but in the year 2026, it may be considered so - especially if it offers 32 GB of memory. The Lenovo ThinkBook 14 G9 IPL is a laptop with a good amount of RAM that many people can still afford, a rare sight in the times of the memory crisis.

Powerhouse. The Ugreen NASync DXP6800 Pro impresses with its powerful i5 hardware, fast dual Ethernet, and Thunderbolt 4, but lags behind established competitors in terms of software maturity and RAID features. A NAS for hobbyists and home labs, but also for small businesses.

Indestructible. The Durabook R10 is a true heavyweight designed for extreme working environments. A solid magnesium casing, brightness exceeding 1,000 cd/m², and the clever hot-swap battery system make the Durabook R10 ideal for rugged outdoor use. We put this professional tablet to the test.

A new level of performance. MSI's Claw 8 EX AI+ is the first device with Intel's first dedicated handheld SoC Arc G3 Extreme, which features the powerful Arc B390 iGPU. The result is a completely new level of performance, easily beating AMD's dedicated Z2 Extreme handheld chip. Update: Frame generation & additional battery tests

Honor delivers. Ultra-bright display, 200 MPix camera and two days of battery for half the flagship price. Can the mid-range phone Honor 600 really keep up with the top? We tested it.

Going wild for Wildcat. At a time when anything new can often cost more than two grand, the upcoming Wildcat CPU instead targets budget-oriented laptops designed for students or home multimedia playback. Performance results are nothing too exciting for better or worse.

Glitchy yet versatile. The Insta360 Go Ultra action cam separates for shooting videos and photos, but camera and app issues hinder its recommendation.

Panther Lake for more consistent performance. The 14-inch ThinkPad X1 is back this year powered by Panther Lake and a refreshed look. The list of minor changes add up to a noticeably better user experience especially depending on the configuration.

A capable and beginner-friendly off-roader. The VIPCOO H2 is a compact electric dirt bike built around a 3500W mid-drive motor. Despite its smaller frame and 14-inch/12-inch tire setup, it delivers enough power to easily pop a wheelie and navigate rough terrain.

Turn on the spotlight! Is a ScreenBar really better than a traditional desk lamp? We put the BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2 to the test and compare its ease of use, brightness, potential glare, and more.

Zen Master. The Galaxy A37 5G offers a high-quality OLED display, IP68 protection, and 6 years of updates at a fair price. Its weaknesses lie in the secondary cameras and performance. Find out in our review whether this Samsung phone can hold its own against the competition.

Outdoor World Cup. Want to watch the World Cup outdoors? We put the AWOL Valerion (VisionMaster) Pro 2 laser projector—complete with a 120-inch outdoor screen—through its paces in a World Cup field test, including outdoors under the open sky. Is this bundle suitable for public viewing in the garden? Our review has the answer.

An expensive but capable package for personal and professional use. The Sermoon P1 from Creality is a high-precision 3D scanner, and is a first for the company to offer an all-in-one solution. On paper, it is a bit more accurate than its similarly priced, but older competitor from Revopoint.

Infinite width. Titan Army has a new 49-inch super-ultrawide gaming monitor on offer. With 5,120 × 1,440 pixels, 240 Hz, KVM, and a maximum field of view, it aims to win over gamers. Does it succeed?

Flatfish. The Google Pixel 10a promises a well-rounded package combining modern hardware, smart AI, and the camera quality Google is known for. But are the technical improvements enough to stand out against the strong competition in the mid-range segment? And does it live up to its high standards?

A compact massage gun that works muscles like the big boys. The Bob and Brad Q2 Ultra Massage Gun with infrared and heated massage head delivers an effective massage in a highly portable form factor. Built for anyone looking for knot relief, the Q2 Ultra packs a solid therapeutic punch.

A bargain or a disappointment? A robot vacuum with a modern mopping roller for under $800 MSRP? That’s exactly what the Lefant M5 Pro offers. Our review reveals whether it can keep up with its mopping-roller counterparts, which are usually significantly more expensive, and what else it has to offer.

The desk declutterer. The 5-port Nexode Pro 160W is among the newly introduced fast chargers from Ugreen. It comes with a smart display, a foldable plug, and a premium finish. With four USB-C ports and one USB-A port, it can charge almost everything at the same time.

All you need. The Maono PD100W is a fairly basic USB microphone with adequate features for most budding podcasters and conference callers. Its primary feature is the included wireless adapter, which increases its versatility.

HDR without the premium. The RayNeo Air 4 Pro are affordable AR glasses that feature HDR10 OLED displays. They sport a 120Hz refresh rate for a smooth gaming experience, and the built-in Bang & Olufsen speakers are quite good. But there are aspects where they fall a little short.

Travel light, charge fast. The Ugreen Nexode Air 65W is a small yet capable fast charger that can power phones, gaming handhelds, MacBook Neo, other laptops, and accessories. It supports a handful of protocols, and the adapter performed well in our tests.

Plenty of storage and performance. Bosgame is back with a striking new industrial design for its latest mini PC equipped with the latest AMD Zen 5c Gorgon Point processor. It may be a little big, but it supports more SSD slots than most competitors.

Best tablet in the mini category. It doesn't always have to be a revolution—sometimes all it takes is building a tablet that does just about everything better than the competition. With the Pad Mini, Oppo elevates the compact category to a whole new level, pairing premium specs with a fast OLED display and an extra-long battery life.

Convenient EDC carry. The Aulumu G05 Pro is a slim MagSafe phone stand that doubles as an aluminum grip with built‑in tools, including a knife, saw, screwdriver, file, and SIM ejector. Its everyday‑carry convenience makes it a standout accessory for users who want more utility from their phone stand.

Ergonomics Plus. With the Doro C300 Pro V2, Sihoo offers an improved version of its ergonomic office chair. Our review reveals what’s new, how comfortable we found it in everyday use, and how it differs from the Doro C300 we’ve already tested.

Translator by your ear. The iFLYTEK AI Translation Earbuds are designed for real-time translation. They’re ideal for frequent travelers, business users, and anyone who wants to overcome language barriers. Our hands-on test examines how well the AI earbuds translate and how they compare to the built-in translation features of today’s smartphones.

Forced coffee time. 4K, up to 1,000 nits, 240 Hz, 0.03 ms, KVM switch: beyond raw spec-sheet extremes, the BenQ QD-OLED monitor aims to impress gamers with an especially vibrant visual presentation. How? Through game-specific color profiles designed to make the image look more contrast-rich, brighter, and overall more spectacular.

Tiny yet mighty. The Ugreen Nexode Air Slim 45W is a tiny fast charger that held its ground well in our tests. With a peak efficiency of around 95.4%, it's a solid travel-friendly power adapter for phones, tablets, gaming handhelds, and accessories. Update: supported charging protocols tested.

More efficient and with a brighter screen. Asus switched to Intel CPUs for the new ROG Zephyrus G14 and powered by the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, it is still one of the most powerful 14-inch laptops you can buy. You also get an updated 120 Hz OLED screen, which now reaches brightness levels of more than 1,000 nits.

Colorful convenience. The Boox Tappy is a colorful page turner connecting wirelessly with the company’s e-book tablets, allowing readers to flip pages, scroll websites, and adjust volume levels from afar.

Solid AI glasses despite some flaws The Rokid AI Glasses Style are positioned as a direct competitor to the Ray-Ban Meta Glasses Gen 2. They are very affordable when on sale, and ticks the basics, but there are a few shortcomings.

Smart fire alarm. X-Sense offers smart smoke detectors that can be integrated into a smart home via Home Assistant. We took a look at how well this works with the XS01-M (FS61) and what possibilities it opens up.

Let down by the display. Lenovo updates the ThinkPad T16 Gen 5 with a new chassis, which improves the repairability as well as the speakers. However, the performance of the base model is very low and the biggest issue is the underwhelming screen quality, especially considering the high base price. Update: Linux tested

World Cup Fever. The Torras Ostand Q3 Air Football Limited case gives smartphones a fitting World Cup design. Our review reveals whether this iPhone case - with its built-in 360-degree stand and airbags - is a winner.

The Ugreen NASync DXP4800 GT is a 4-bay AMD-powered NAS aimed at content creators, featuring two 10 GbE ports, dual M.2 NVMe caching, a built-in SD card slot and support for up to 144 TB of storage. We tested the DXP4800 GT and here are our detailed thoughts.

Qi2 desktop multi-tool The new Baseus Spacemate RD1 Pro tower handles fast SSD speeds and 100 W charging with ease. However, occasional display bugs and Mac mirroring limits, alongside some minor thermal throttling issues keep it from being a perfect workspace companion.

SSDs are too expensive now for many users - time to take a look again at traditional HDDs! We tested two external drives with large capacities that can be added to any PC, one focused on work and one focused on gaming. And with these HDDs, you do not need a dedicated charging cable.

Rugged upon request. Lenovo's first Android tablet in a long time from the Think family relies on features that have almost vanished from the tablet world. These include an SD card slot and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. But eSIM support and NFC also make the robust ThinkTab X11 Gen 1 a truly feature-packed device.

A quiet and effective desk companion. The SKG OS500 Hand Massager is SKG’s newest product, designed to provide on-demand relief for cramped hands. The device combines air compression, heating, cooling, and massage rollers.

Ugreen's new FineTrack 2 tracker is a small, soccer ball-themed tracker that uses Apple's Find My network. The FineTrack 2 is a solid tracking device that offers long battery life and a reasonably loud speaker, though it does fall short of advertised expectations.

Cheap headphones with solar. Earbuds for just $10? They are available even at local retailers, and we tried the Solix SL-510. Buyers should not expect great sound, but one feature is genuinely useful, and the earbuds are a viable ultra-low-budget option.

Proper HP Spectre replacement. The redesigned OmniBook Ultra 14 addresses the size and display criticisms of the original 2024 model while boosting graphics performance significantly. However, the new keyboard can be a mixed bag.

Affordable 4K surveillance The $149.99 70mai A810 Lite bundle comes with high-resolution front recording and a companion rear camera. While its frame rates do take a hit in dual-channel mode, a native supercapacitor and high-speed Wi-Fi 6 transfers make it a strong value proposition for everyday drivers.

A question of memory. The PNY GeForce RTX 5060 Ti OC provides the Blackwell generation with a compact and efficient mid-range graphics card for demanding Full-HD gaming. Modern features such as DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation should open up additional performance reserves, but the limited memory configuration raises questions about future-proofing. We put the PNY GeForce RTX 5060 Ti OC through benchmarks, current games, and practical applications and show where its strengths lie - and where it reaches its limits.

Compact with Ultra features. The Find X9 Pro's little brother comes with a huge battery and dual 200 MP cameras. Nevertheless, Oppo's new Android smartphone is relatively thin and light. In this review, we evaluate whether the Find X9s Pro is really a better alternative to the Apple iPhone 17 or the Samsung Galaxy S26.

Smoothed out. With the Find N6, Oppo presents the next generation of its foldable, bringing a slimmer design, greater performance and an even better camera. The premium smartphone combines a large foldable inner display with current high-end hardware and aims to appeal to both productivity users and photography enthusiasts.

The commuter's rocker. On-ear headphones have long been considered a compromise between comfort and technology. The Marshall Milton A.N.C. aims to change that by combining adaptive ANC, up to 80 hours of battery life, and a replaceable battery in a compact design. Our review reveals whether this unconventional concept delivers.

AI recorder for a few professionals. A stand-alone AI recorder in the style of a smartphone: with the AI Recorder S6, iFLYTEK offers a complete device with a screen that should not require any app or connection to a smartphone or tablet. The device also works completely offline and at a distance of up to 20 meters.

Flyweight. With the Prestige 13 AI+, MSI is targeting mobile users who are often on the move and value a compact, lightweight laptop. Equipped with a brand-new Panther Lake processor, the 13-inch device is designed to win over customers looking for maximum portability.

A complete success? After years of waiting, the remake of Gothic 1 has finally arrived. While there are still a few stumbling blocks, most buyers seem satisfied with the new version so far. We also ventured into its rough dark-fantasy world with high expectations.

Business toolbox. Wi-Fi 7, LTE, a SmartCard reader, and a replaceable battery have become increasingly rare in modern business laptops. The Schenker Connect 15 focuses on exactly these features, combining enterprise-friendly capabilities with quiet and power-efficient hardware.

No performance compromises. The new Raider 16 Max HX packs an insane level of power even when compared to most larger 18-inch gaming laptops, but be prepared for a somewhat thick and heavy system.

A huge deal? The Poco X8 Pro Max sets new standards in the mid-range segment with its Dimensity 9500s, 8,500-mAh battery, and 100-watt fast charging. A bright 6.83-inch AMOLED display, IP68 protection, and an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor round out the phone's total package. Meanwhile, weaknesses are present in its camera and software. Our in-depth review will determine whether the Poco X8 Pro Max truly lives up to its "Pro Max" title.

Lets users play music like a game. The Tempolar Melo-D is a stringless, foldable smart instrument that utilizes AI to simplify the songwriting process. While AI may alienate traditionalists, its extensive sound library makes it possible to quickly bring musical ideas to life.

Cube instead of cloud! More than a classic NAS: Thanks to free OS choice, Thunderbolt 4, and PCIe expansions, this compact cube can transform into a home server, virtualization host, or even an AI machine on demand. But our testing shows that the biggest improvement isn't in the specs, but...

Great for gaming, not an office embarrassment. The Keychron K3 HE is a low-profile, wireless, Hall-effect gaming keyboard that comes in at an affordable price and delivers all the fancy analogue input features and customisation that gamers want. Further, the K3 HE is plenty portable and looks just as good at a professional workstation as it does next to an RTX 5090 gaming PC.

Room for improvement. While the more powerful processors from Intel's Panther Lake generation (e.g., the Core Ultra 9 386H) have already been extensively tested, we took a look at the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 2-in-1 14, which features a weaker but significantly cheaper entry-level model in the form of the Core Ultra 5 322. How does the six-core perform against its predecessors and AMD's competition?

Smart home training. The Domyos Woodrower is a smart rowing machine from Decathlon. It scores points for its quiet operation, secure footing and great workmanship. It is also foldable and does not require a power supply. Thanks to the app connection, it is also suitable for exploring virtual worlds.

Lenovo is one of the few manufacturers with 15-inch devices and the new Yoga Pro 7i 15 Aura Edition is an impressive multimedia laptop starting at $2679 with Intel Panther Lake CPU, GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, 32 GB RAM and a gorgeous 165 Hz OLED touchscreen.

Smaller, faster, and more efficient than before. The newest MSI mini PC cuts down on size and weight without cutting down on too many important features. There are nonetheless a few compromises and limitations worth mentioning.

Comfort upgrade Baseus revises the MC series of open-ear headphones. The Bowie MC2 are even more comfortable and customizable. They also impress in terms of battery life and app control.

A worthy Bond successor. While film adaptations of video games usually miss the mark, the reverse often turns out much better. A prime example is 007 First Light, which delivers an excellent showing. What do the gameplay and technology have to offer?
