Schenker XMG U506 review Expert’s Rating Pros Cons Our Verdict Slipping a performance desktop PC processor into a laptop may seem lunacy but Schenker gets away with it, aided by the 14nm Skylake architecture. How much it actually helps gaming is moot, since we’ve seen Nvidia GTX 970M run as fast or faster in laptops with mobile-class chips.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 review Expert’s Rating Pros Cons Our Verdict So, what do we think of the Galaxy Note 5? We’re very fond of just about every aspect of the Galaxy Note 5, from its curved and sleek design to its vibrant display and high-resolution camera.
