HP 15 (15s-eq0000, eq1000, eq2000, eq3000, fq0000, fq1000, fq2000, fq3000, fq4000, fr0000, fr1000, fr2000, ey0000, ey1000) in-depth review
After the HP 15 from last year looked like a 5-year old device, the manufacturer has actually improved (or modernized) the design. Not only that but they have made a sport version, as well. At least, this is how we would explain the "s" letter in the 15s moniker.While it doesn't really look sporty, we think it actually looks sleek. However, the actual difference in the name is because of the insides - this unit houses AMD processors. Sadly, they are not part of the Ryzen 4000U series, but still, they include the reasonably impressive 3000Us, as well as some Athlon options.In addition [...]

ASUS Vivobook 16 (M1605) in-depth review
The ASUS Vivobook 16 (M1605) is offered with Zen 3 (Refresh) CPUs or Zen 4 chips. The machines with the newer processor platform rely on DDR5 memory, Gen 4 M.2 slot, bigger battery variants (50Wh or 70Wh), and an optional 3.2K OLED display. If you don't need all these features, the Zen 3-based notebooks can be found at a lower price since they have DDR4 memory, Gen 3 SSDs, a smaller 42Wh battery capacity, and you can't opt for the fancy OLED display.The rest is standard for all machines - Wi-Fi 5 / Bluetooth 5.1 or Wi-Fi 6E / Bluetooth 5.3 for connectivity, so-so I/O, and limited upgradabi[...]

ASUS Vivobook Go 15 OLED (E1504F / Е1504G / S1504F) in-depth review
Today, we have one of the best laptops in terms of value. Of course, when we say the best, we mean when it comes to specs and price. Later on in the review, you're going to learn if the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 (E1504F) delivers on the expectations.So, what are these expectations, and why do we have a reason to be excited about this machine? Well, the first thing that comes to mind is the display. You can find the device equipped with an OLED panel.

Lenovo IdeaPad 1 (15", 2021/22) in-depth review
Lenovo is a master of affordable laptops. While the IdeaPad 1 15 might seem like a drop in the ocean of the company's portfolio, we have a feeling it has a main role in the future sales numbers. If we look at Lenovo's laptops as Game of Thrones characters, the IdeaPad 1 15 will be Bran Stark. It knows that it has to compete with the likes of John Snow (Legion 5), or Daenerys Targaryen (IdeaPad 3) to be the king (or queen), and occupy Sales Landing.And despite there being similarly low-priced options like the V15 or the V155, the IdeaPad 1 15 has one major advantage - the IdeaPad name, whi[...]

Pros
- Comfortable keyboard
- Cool during extreme load
- SD card reader
- No PWM (Innolux N156HGA-EA3 (CMN15F5))

Apple MacBook Pro 14 (M4 Pro / M4 Max, Late 2024) in-depth review
With the 2024 model of Apple's MacBook Pro 14 you can choose between a 12-core or 14-core M4 Pro processor with a 16 or 20-core GPU respectively, or a 16-core M4 Max with 32-core GPU. As always, the bigger memory and storage options are pricey. However, the base iteration of this machine comes with 24GB of unified RAM. If you aren't a power user, this amount should be sufficient for daily tasks or normal work. If your wallet is wide enough, you could pick a machine with double the memory.The default 512GB SSD seems enough if you don't store too much of photos and videos on it. If you need [...]

Apple MacBook Air 13 (Early 2024) in-depth review
Just like any other manufacturer, Apple offers new devices every year. They sport modern hardware and other improvements. This time around we'll show you the Apple MacBook Air (13", M3). As you may already guess by looking at the name, this machine has the M3 SoC combined with 8-core or 10-core iGPU plus Wi-Fi 6E for connectivity. Compared to the M2 predecessor, this machine looks like a decent refresh in terms of hardware and features. Aside from the faster CPU and GPUs, the RAM is also soldered. It's great to see that even the default 256GB storage option features two NANDs which significant[...]

ASUS Vivobook 15 OLED (X1505 / S1505) in-depth review
Once again, we got ourselves an affordable 15-inch daily driver. But it is not your ordinary multimedia workhorse. Why? Well, because it comes with an OLED display. In fact, you can choose between two panels - a 1080p 60Hz one, or a 2.8K 120Hz unit.Obviously, this makes the ASUS Vivobook 15 OLED (X1505) a force to be reckoned with. Besides the mouthwatering screen, there is pretty capable hardware, sitting behind the product. We are talking about either the 15W or 45W Alder Lake processors from Intel, with 13th Gen sitting and waiting behind the corner.You see, we don't expect this no[...]
