A slender mechanical keyboard that adapts to any gamer's preferences. | Vulcan gaming keyboards have survived against lofty competition by considering aesthetics and value. The wired Turtle Beach Vulcan II TKL offers even more customization with hot-swappable linear switches. Notebookcheck’s review finds that it’s a worthy addition to the Vulcan family despite a few shortcomings.

Deep sound. | Baseus claims its Inspire XH1 are among the most affordable over-ear Bluetooth headphones with active noise cancelling — and that, thanks to a collaboration with Bose, they deliver outstanding sound quality. According to Baseus, the XH1 can compete with models in the $250 range. We put that claim to the test.

Just-in-time power that delivers. | LiTime obviously strives to deliver a premium auxiliary power experience, with every product in this review feeling not only premium but also easy-to-use and reliable.

Extra wide 65% keyboard. | The Epomaker Galaxy68 is an excellent wireless mechanical keyboard that comes in at an affordable $99, although the 65% form factor belies the keyboard's actual size. With wide bezels and an odd navigation cluster, the Galaxy68 is wide enough that I'm left wondering whether it'd be better as a TKL.

Surprisingly great features for the price. | Users looking for OLED P3 colors and don't mind the idiosyncrasies of Windows on ARM will find the OmniBook 5 14 to be a strong and very inexpensive solution.

Optionally with LTE. | The OnePlus Pad Lite should not cost the earth, but at the same time satisfy users with its metal casing, large battery and great sound system. We take a close look at whether this works in our review.

Professional driving experience for casuals and enthusiasts alike. | The Asetek Initium Racing Bundle brings the company’s top-tier sim racing expertise to a more affordable package. The wheelbase packs a punch and the pedals offer best in class performance.

GPU overclocking. | After reviewing Lenovo's LOQ series in several 15- and 16-inch versions, it's now fine time for an even larger model, the LOQ 17. How does this gaming laptop fare in the competitive midrange market?

Cool modules. | Compact gimbal, selfie stick, key light, gesture control, AI tracking camera, and a detachable touchscreen remote — all packed into one device. That’s what the Hohem iSteady V3 Ultra offers for around $150. We took it for a spin to see what it’s capable of.

A smart choice for smart minds. | The Lenovo IdeaTab Plus makes it a pretty easy decision for buyers. For under $290, you get a lightweight and well-equipped 12.1-inch tablet that comes with a stylus. It's primarily intended as a companion for university lectures. However, the IdeaTab Plus is just as well-suited for surfing or streaming, as our review demonstrates.

The Xbox handheld? | The new ROG Xbox Ally X is the result of a close cooperation between Asus and Microsoft. The new Xbox full-screen experience is supposed to improve the usability of Windows on a handheld. We review the high-end model with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme and the Radeon 890M.

Old vision, new clarity. | Once a breakthrough in portable AR, the XReal Air promised a big-screen experience in a pair of lightweight glasses. But in 2025, can it still compete with newer mixed reality headsets?

Nvidia RTX Pro 5000 Blackwell debut. | The Dell Pro Max 16 Plus is a unique workstation with its DGFF card, CAMM2 RAM, 4K UHD 120 Hz OLED touchscreen, and modular USB-C ports. Do the fancy features translate to faster performance?

Full-time monitoring. | The Hilo Band is a compact health tracker that monitors blood pressure around the clock and can do so for two weeks on a single battery charge. The device is medically certified and offers smart features, but it also revealed a few weaknesses in our review.

Progress denier? | Compared to the two-year-old Galaxy Tab A9, the Galaxy Tab A11 offers only minimal changes: The SoC, design, and limited storage – everything remains the same. Do the small updates to the camera and display at least manage to impress?

Deep sound. | Baseus claims its Inspire XH1 are among the most affordable over-ear Bluetooth headphones with active noise cancelling — and that, thanks to a collaboration with Bose, they deliver outstanding sound quality. According to Baseus, the XH1 can compete with models in the $250 range. We put that claim to the test.

Full of compromises. | The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE offers a lot of features and performance at a now significantly reduced price, combined with 7 years of updates. However, the improvements over its predecessor are only minor, and the Fan Edition really falls short when it comes to battery life.

A direct clash with Call of Duty. | After several relatively quiet years, the Battlefield franchise is roaring back with its sixth installment. We took a close look not only at the gameplay, but also at the GPU requirements - including upscaling and frame generation.

Pure blue workstation. | With the 2025 generation, HP retires its ZBook Firefly branding, instead selling the HP ZBook 8 G1i 14 as its affordable workstation laptop. The newest version uses Intel Arrow Lake H and our particular model does not have a Nvidia GPU - can the experiment with using just Intel graphics work?

From Max to budget. | With the introduction of the Omen Max in early 2025, HP has split its gaming lineup: the Max models are thicker but faster, while the regular Omen series now targets the budget segment. As a result, HP made several adjustments to the new Omen 16. But does this “budgetification” come with any real advantages? Let’s find out.

A cheaper alternative to the Galaxy Tab S11. | The Yoga Tab Plus's affordable sister model comes with a 144 Hz screen, a matching Pro pen, and the powerful Snapdragon SoC. With long battery life and a comprehensive range of accessories, the affordable Yoga tablet is perhaps a better Android alternative to the Galaxy Tab S11. Does that make the Yoga Tab a real bargain?

Mini PC with weaknesses. | With the NucBox M3 Ultra, GMKtec presents a new mini PC with Intel Core i7 power. Available as a barebone or complete system, it promises strong performance at a fair price - but is the older SoC enough to hold its own in the current mini PC market? Our review provides the answers.

1,000 nits SDR, 1,600 nits HDR and AdobeRGB. | The Yoga Pro 9i 16 was already available with a very good OLED screen, but the new tandem OLED panel is even better. We test the high-end configuration with the new 3.2K OLED panel, a Core Ultra 9, 64 GB RAM and the mobile GeForce RTX 5070.
