Neowin: GMKtec M7 Ultra Mini PC review: OCuLink, 32GB DDR5, 1TB, and USB4 all for $470
GMKtec is a brand we tested a mini PC for back in the summer. As a reminder, GMKtec is a sub-brand of Shenzhen GMK Technology Co., Ltd, based in China, which started operations in 2019, and according to their own website, their Mini PCs are sold in over 70 countries with official distributors and service networks established in 35 of them. Looking online, and from the point of view of end users on places like Reddit, GMKtec appears to have the mindset of "a cheaper Beelink" equivalent, which is not a bad place to be, really!
KitGuru: CyberPowerPC PBM U97 PZ Prebuilt Desktop Review
The U97 PZ Powered by MSI prebuilt desktop from CyberPowerPC is quite possibly the cleanest system we’ve ever had on the bench. Built around MSI’s Project Zero ecosystem, with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and a Project Zero RTX 5070 Ti Ventus 3X OC, it hides the cables almost entirely and leans hard into a sleek, minimalist look. We’ve put it through its paces at both 1440p and 4K to find out whether that clean aesthetic is backed up by the performance you’d expect at this level.

HotHardware: OnePlus 15R Review: Affordable Upper-Midrange Phone With Big Battery Life
Behold the OnePlus 15R, the company’s budget flagship for 2026. It cost $699 ($100 more than the OnePlus 13R it replaces, $200 less than the OnePlus 15 it flanks), but gives up its predecessor’s LTPO display and 2x telephoto shooter for Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor and a stupendous 7,400mAh battery. And, for better or worse, the OnePlus 15R’s design follows in the OnePlus 15’s minimalist footsteps.
