Hardware Reviews

Review BenQ's USB4 mobile gaming dock is a great choice for those who need more bandwidth, but it's sadly too small to benefit some of the devices that can actually use it.

Review The Surface Laptop 7 is the clamshell form factor perfected. With a gorgeous new design, incredible keyboard and trackpad, smooth 120Hz display, and much more. This is the laptop to beat.

Review The ASUS VivoBook Pro 16 is a laptop designed for both gaming and creative workflows. Can it be good at both?

Review Razer finally redesigned its iconic Blade 16 gaming laptop, moving to AMD for the first time and kicking off a new NVIDIA generation. I put it to the test.

Review The ASUS Zenbook A14 (2025) amazed the entire Windows Central crew at CES 2025, and it really is an incredible, gorgeous AI PC. The models are confusing, though.

Review Enterprise laptops are supposed to be boring, but that didn't stop me from falling in love with the chunky, powerful HP EliteBook X 14, and AMD-powered AI PC.

Review The MSI Claw 8 AI+ is a glorious follow-up to the lackluster original handheld.

Review The Razer Gamer Room is now a little bigger with the Aether Standing Light Bars, but their hollow construction and growing port/outlet requirements put me off.

Review The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (2025) is incredibly fun with absurd levels of power and some truly unique capabilities, but most people can do better.

Review If you like the idea of a mini PC, but absolutely need a clean setup that also includes support for dedicated GPU cards, the Beelink GTi13 Ultra might be a great choice for you.
