Reviews of Intel's Panther Lake processors have been released, with several laptops featuring these new CPUs being tested for their performance and efficiency. The GEEKOM AX8 Max Mini-PC was reviewed by TechPowerUp, finding it delivers solid everyday performance but doesn't reach premium pricing levels. Laptop reviews include the ASUS Zenbook Duo from Wccftech, which features strong graphics and efficiency with Intel's Core Ultra X9 388H CPU, as well as the Geekom GeekBook X14 Pro from KitGuru, which boasts a premium spec sheet at an affordable price point. Other reviews cover gaming hardware such as NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 Upscaling Performance, wireless gaming keyboards like the AULA F108 Pro, and networking devices including the Alta Labs Route10 gateway.

Wccftech: ASUS Zenbook Duo "Intel Core Ultra X9 388H" Laptop Review: Panther Lake Roars With Strong Graphics & Efficiency
Intel's Panther Lake is finally here, and we test ASUS's Zenbook Duo laptop equipped with the flagship Core Ultra X9 388H CPU.
TechPowerUp: GEEKOM AX8 Max Review
The GEEKOM AX8 Max features AMD's Ryzen 7 8745HS with Radeon 780M integrated graphics to deliver solid everyday performance in a compact Mini-PC. It handles office work and multitasking easily, runs lighter games without much trouble, and offers plenty of modern connectivity. While the AX8 Max is in the upper mid-range price bracket, it stops short of the premium pricing attached to newer flagship AI Mini-PCs.
KitGuru: Geekom GeekBook X14 Pro Laptop Review
The Geekom Geekbook X14 Pro makes a bold entrance with a spec sheet that looks like it should demand a much higher price tag. At $1299, it packs a stunning 14-inch 2.8K OLED display running at 120Hz, 32GB of LPDDR5x RAM, and a generous 2TB of NVMe storage. Powered by Intel's Core Ultra 9 185H, it aims to deliver premium “thin and light” performance without the premium price point. It certainly looks good on paper, but does the real-world experience live up to the hype?

TechPowerUp: FSP NP5 Black Review
FSP's NP5-B is a classic case of not judging a book by its cover. This budget-friendly cooler sports an attractive design that combines sleek looks with quiet operation. Add to that some impressive performance and it easily outshines bulkier, heavier and more expensive competitors, making it stellar value for entry to mid-range systems.

Funky Kit: AULA F108 Pro Wireless Gaming Keyboard Review
The AULA F108 Pro Wireless Gaming Keyboard is designed for users who want a full-size layout without compromising on modern features or visual appeal. With its 108-key format, it retains the numpad and additional function keys, making it well suited to both gaming and productivity tasks. The Black Blue colourway gives the keyboard a bold yet balanced look, combining darker tones with striking blue accents that help it stand out on a desk while still feeling cohesive and purposeful.
