Astell & Kern AK UW100MKII review – lots of promise, squandered

TechRadar Verdict Despite providing superior-sounding music and offering customization options to tailor the audio to your taste, Astell & Kern’s UW100MKII are incredibly hard to recommend. Their design, while admittedly unique, means the buds are prone to falling out of your ear – and the wearer detection will stop and start your music for seemingly no reason. Fantastic audio Unique design Responsive touch controls Frequently falls out Rogue wearer detection...

CMF Watch Pro by Nothing review: A great value smartwatch, but not perfect

TechRadar Verdict The CMF Watch Pro comes at an amazing price, but you’d never tell by looking at it. From the software to the hardware, there’s a premium sheen across everything. Unfortunately, connectivity issues between the watch and my phone made the experience less than perfect. It’s a good device at a great price, but there’s still room for improvement. Bargain price Stylish design Great battery life Does enough to satisfy most people’s needs...

Engwe M20 review: A beautiful e-bike with incredible range

TechRadar Verdict The Engwe M20 is a gorgeous electric bike with a café racer-style look that is very similar to the Super73, albeit a lot less utilitarian. The green aluminum frame with the offset mustard seat makes this a real looker and the spec doesn’t let it down either. With a dual battery option, the range is ideal for all-day rides and those needing significant assistance. The disc brakes are adequate but could really have benefited from hydraulic options....

Hands on: Alienware x16 R2: unchanged on the outside, overhauled on the inside

Early Verdict Dell has chosen to leave the already gorgeous aesthetics of the Alienware x16 R2 refresh untouched from previous versions, barring a beautiful rainbow touchpad that complements the RGB keyboard. Instead, it upgraded its specs, display, ventilation system, and webcam among other enhancements. Even with its few setbacks, this is shaping up to be a great desktop replacement. Top-notch CPU and GPU Great display Lovely touchpad and keyboard Upgraded webcam...

HP Victus 16: a strong 1080p gaming machine

TechRadar Verdict The HP Victus 16 is one of many new gaming laptops that come equipped with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050. Thanks to an Intel Core i7 and 16GB in this configuration, it offers a little better performance than most, though at a higher price. It’s a shame that you only get a 60Hz refresh rate without paying for an upgrade. However, it is able to tackle the latest games with a minimum of compromise (if you skip Ray Tracing)....
