Chuwi UniBook review: A 449 laptop that gets a lot right
The Dell Laptop Buying Guide UK: Which Dell Laptop Should You Buy? When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. The Chuwi UniBook is a well-built, portable laptop with good battery life and connectivity. That said, its 8GB of RAM and mediocre display hold it back. With the UniBook, Chuwi is introducing Intel's affordable Wildcat Lake platform. At $449, the 14-inch laptop focuses on practicality rather than raw performance. Its key strengths are its lightweight form factor and wide selection of ports.
Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 review: Slim and powerful (with caveats)
When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. Thresholds over 0.8 inches are an obstacle The Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 is a great pick if you have low furniture and lots of edges to clean, but its limited threshold clearance and lack of automatic cleaning-solution dispensing keep it from being an all-around winner. Robot vacuum cleaners with a slim design have (so far) been largely limited to expensive flagship models. The Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 brings this design to a much more affordable price. That said, Roborock still includes key convenience features like the extendable side brush, lifting mop pads, and a mostly self-cleaning dock. Our test shows just how the savings in chassis design, obstacle detection, and cleaning solution dispensing affect everyday use, as well as the advantages of the low profile design. The robot measures 13.9 13.9 3.1 inches and weighs 9.9 pounds.
Acemagic K1 review: This cheap Ryzen mini PC has one easy-to-fix weakness
When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. But its slow SATA SSD holds it back. The Acemagic K1 handles office work, video conferencing, and streaming without a hitch. For the price, the Ryzen 5 delivers surprisingly good multi-core performance; power consumption remains low and the range of ports is just right. The device is held back by the slow SATA SSD and the soldered-in RAM.
GMKtec NucBox K17 review: This Lunar Lake mini-PC punches above its price
When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. The GMKtec NucBox K17 combines a Core Ultra 5 CPU, Arc 130V graphics, and a fast SSD into a gaming-suitable mini PC with great performance. Two HDMI 2.1 outputs, one of which supports 8K at 60Hz The NucBox K17 brings Intel's Lunar Lake technology to the under-$700 price bracket, provided the mini-PC is on offer. The Arc 130V graphics deliver adequate performance for an integrated GPU, the SSD is fast, and the range of ports is extensive. The limitations lie in the integrated 16GB of RAM and the processor's eight threads.
Thermal Master P3 review: Excellent close-up thermal imaging for your phone
When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. The Thermal Master P3 transforms a smartphone into a compact thermal imaging camera via the USB-C port, ideal for everyday use, trades, and troubleshooting. At a street price of around $300, the P3 delivers high image quality for this price range. A standout feature is the manual focus, which proves its worth when shooting a wide variety of subjects. In our test, we used it to examine the heat distribution on a sauna heater, check for unusual heating during the installation of an Anker Solix solar panel in the cellar, and visualize the waste heat from mini PCs and projectors.
Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra review: Excellent navigation comes at a price
When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. Overall, the AquaSense 2 Ultra is a great choice for larger, more demanding pools, but its high price is hard to justify for a standard pool. Battery-powered pool robots now use structured navigation, route planning, wall detection, and app connectivity, with software becoming an increasingly important differentiator. In a practical test carried out in a round foil above-ground pool with a stainless steel ladder, the setup, app control, standard cleaning cycle, and post-cleaning procedures were assessed. Beatbot positions the AquaSense 2 Ultra as the flagship model of the AquaSense series, and it certainly looks the part. The housing measures 17.9 17.3 10.9 inches and weighs 29.1 pounds when empty. This makes the AquaSense 2 Ultra one of the heavier pool robots.
Geekom IT13 Max review: A mini PC with surprising power and ports
When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. The Geekom IT13 Max is an unusually powerful workstation in a mini format. Although the Core Ultra 9 185H is no longer part of the current processor generation, it still delivers plenty of computing power. In 2026, mini-PCs no longer need to be limited to office work and streaming. Models featuring Ryzen AI or Core Ultra now offer enough performance for many tasks that were previously reserved for high-performance desktop PCs. The Geekom IT13 Max relies less on a new generation of processors and more on high-performance hardware centered on Intel's Core Ultra 9 185H. Nevertheless, the computer remains compact on the desk.
Geekom Air12 2026 review: A good value…by 2020 standards
As one of the slimmest mini PCs, the Air12 is designed to handle office work, streaming, and everyday web browsing. The Geekom Air12 2026 is a very compact, quiet, and energy-efficient mini PC designed for the simplest office tasks, web browsing, and streaming. Its biggest weakness is the outdated dual-core platform: For multitasking, image editing, or more demanding applications, the Pentium Gold 7505 is clearly too underpowered in 2026. Mini PCs have evolved from a niche product to a staple on the desk. With the Air12 2026, Geekom is launching a new edition of its slimmest series, which aims above all to score points with a supposedly low entry-level price.
