The world's greatest laptop… almost. Dell's 2026 XPS 16 lands almost every blow perfectly, with only one exception: the ports

Dell XPS 16 (2026) Two-minute review Dell's XPS line finally returns at long last. The company may have shifted tack in its naming scheme, but the XPS has returned, and it's back with a bang. The Dell XPS 16 (2026) I have tested here is beyond impressive. With a clean, crisp aesthetic, stylised CNC black aluminum chassis, super-thin bezels, and a keyboard that genuinely makes you question what other laptop manufacturers have been doing for the last 10 years, it's otherworldly in appearance. There's no drama, no ostentatious LEDs or illuminated logos, just clean, tidy lines and materials that complement it perfectly. Even the screen (in my review spec, a 3K touch OLED 3,200 x 2,000 @ 120Hz) leaves little to be desired.

Image
Airalo is an eSIM marketplace founded in 2019 that now serves more than 20 million customers across 200+ countries and regions. You buy a plan, scan a QR code, and your data connection is ready before you've even landed. I've heard it from people I've met at hostels across three continents: Airalo just works. Reasonable speeds, no surprise charges, and support that picks up when something goes sideways. Most plans are data-only, so calls go through WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Skype.

I tried Samsung’s huge Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, and its disappointing chipset lets down an otherwise fantastic media and gaming machine

Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra review: Two-minute review If you need a big tablet, you can’t go wrong with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, which sports a gigantic 14.6-inch display that offers a 16:10 aspect ratio, which not only offers plenty of screen real estate compared to alternatives like iPads but also makes the S11 Ultra perfect for watching widescreen movies and shows. Of course, the large screen also lends itself well to productivity and gaming as well. Staying true to Samsung’s other ‘Ultra’ devices, the Tab S11 Ultra brings all the bells and whistles to justify its high asking price. Like the Galaxy S26 Ultra, an S Pen stylus is included in the box, while the full Galaxy AI suite takes advantage of the larger display with features like screen sharing in Gemini Live and drawing tools like Creative Studio and Sketch to Image . It also retains the IP68 water- and dust-resistant rating from its p...

MSI Roamii BE Pro Wi-Fi mesh system review: affordable, fast Wi-Fi 7

MSI Roamii BE Pro Wi-Fi mesh system: Two-Minute Review Back in 2024, MSI released a ‘Lite’ version of its Wi-Fi 7 Roamii mesh system that skipped the 6GHz band. The Roamii BE Pro adds that missing piece. So, should you buy it? Once again, the kit consists of two white, triangular prism-shaped nodes, but this time there’s some snazzy RGB lighting at the bottom. It’s a refreshing change from the robot space spider school of router design, but how does the neat-and-tidy, completely hidden antenna array affect performance? (Image credit: Future) I ran my usual Wi-Fi tests in my single-story, Sydney weatherboard cottage by downloading large video files from a tethered 10Gbps Synology NVMe network-attached storage (NAS) device to a high-performance Wi-Fi 7 laptop up close, two rooms away (at the front of the house, where the second node was placed) and 15 meters (49 feet) away in the back garden.
