More multimedia than gamer? Razer's new Blade 14 is a high-quality and fast 14-inch all-rounder, which is now more compact and equipped with a 120 Hz OLED screen. The price is lower than before, but the limitation to the GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU with 8 GB VRAM is a drawback.

Packing a 200 MP camera. In our tests, the ultra-slim Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge not only surprised us with its excellent battery life. Thanks to its sturdy IP68-certified titanium case and brand-new Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 for the LTPO OLED panel, the 163-gram lightweight is also extremely robust and rigid. However, the extra-thin design does mean it compromises on some features.

Big Bass Box. When it was launched, the Marshall Tufton was one of the largest Bluetooth speakers on the market. With the increasingly popular, heavy party speakers, this is no longer quite true; the Tufton sits in a niche between normal Bluetooth speakers and party speakers. How does it sound in comparison?

Mega solar power. The Solix Solarbank 3 Pro is Anker's most powerful balcony power station system to date. It offers 50 % more power and almost 70 % more battery capacity than the Solarbank 2 Pro. Our Anker Solix Solarbank 3 Pro review reveals what this means in practice and how well it works.

Slim battery giant. A tablet for about $300? You can't normally expect too much.

Good runtimes, but what else? Microsoft has brought out a new Surface Laptop with a 13-inch display. The problem, however, is that it is worse in almost every respect—and it costs more than the well-known Surface Laptop 13.8. Update: Removable SSD photos added.
