Liba sums up reviews of computers, components and AI machines from professional testing sites. Our score is the average of theirs, and every claim links to its source.
Each core in the chip is a product, and its color is the average score the testing sites gave it. The warmer the core, the higher the score.

ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM
A 27-inch 4K gaming monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate and a QD-OLED panel. Both sources found the picture exceptional, and the drawback they both mention is that it has no speakers.
The same familiar design, a faster M5 chip, and larger, faster storage. The reviewers agree it is still the laptop that suits most people, but since June 2026 it costs $200 more.

What the sources said
For
Fast M5 chip for work and graphics
Thin, well-made metal body
Completely silent, with no fan
Excellent keyboard and trackpad
Against
60Hz screen, with no OLED option
The battery lasts a little less than on the M4 model
A graphics card with 16GB of memory, good for 1440p and for 4K gaming with DLSS. The reviewers disagree mostly about how big a step up it is from the last generation.
Components3 sources
What the sources said
For
Strong performance at 1440p and 4K
16GB of GDDR7 memory
Good value for money at list price
DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation support
Against
A small step up from the RTX 4070 Ti Super, according to Tom's Hardware
A tiny desktop with a Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chip and memory shared between processor and graphics, which also suits running AI on the computer itself. The reviewers liked the size and the performance, less so the price.
AI computers3 sources
What the sources said
For
Very small, Mini-ITX standard
Strong processor and integrated graphics, even for 1080p gaming
Customizable, and you can bring your own parts and operating system
Against
Gaming PCs at a similar price are faster
The memory is soldered, so it is hard to upgrade
The power cable and decorative tiles are sold separately
When it was tested, in January 2026, this was the fastest gaming processor, but only slightly ahead of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, and with higher power draw. PCMag recommends it for competitive gamers, while Tom's Hardware is less convinced.
Components2 sources
What the sources said
For
The highest gaming performance, especially at 1080p
8 cores and 64MB of 3D V-Cache
Stays relatively cool
Against
About 30% more power in games than the 9800X3D, according to Tom's Hardware
Expensive for a mostly-gaming processor: $499 list price
We don't test products ourselves. We read the reviews from professional testing sites, compare them, and link to every source so you can check our work.
We read professional reviews
Only from sites that publish how they test, such as PCMag, Tom's Hardware, TechRadar, Engadget and RTINGS.
We convert to a 10-point scale
Every score moves to the same scale: 4 out of 5 counts as 8, and 92 out of 100 counts as 9.2.
We take the average
Our score is the average of the sources' scores, to one decimal place. A source without an overall score is listed, but not counted.
Numbers and prices
Only ones that appear in the linked source
