Yeedi Mop Station review: Great concept, fair execution
The main function of a robot vacuum cleaner is to suck up dust—and some devices feature an extra mopping pad. With the Yeedi Mop Station however, this extra feature—mopping—becomes the main characteristic. With a self-cleaning station, the Yeedi Mop Station is a brilliant concept, but is the execution worth the investment? Check out our review! Also read: How to choose the best robot vacuum cleaner

Zenbook 17 Fold OLED review: How good is Asus’ giant foldable?
At first glance, the Zenbook 17 Fold OLED looks like a Galaxy Z Fold 4 – on steroids! A second glance revealed a new way of thinking about notebooks. I was able to test the laptop out that was armed with a flexible OLED screen on behalf of NextPit and to reveal how well the concept works in this hands-on.

Improvised air conditioning for the smart home: heat self-test in the office
The record summer temperatures have also arrived at the NextPit office—despite super-cool employees and ice-cold drinks in the editorial fridge. So I searched the Internet for tips on how to build your own air conditioner and came up with a “life” hack.

Apple Studio Display review: Mega screen that is not for everyone
I was really looking forward to reviewing the Apple Studio Display for the longest time. Even though I have to admit: A monitor that costs at least $1,599 (!) for the smallest model does seem to indicate that this is one monitor that is best left to the professionals. Well, what can I say? After the review, I purchased a Studio Display for myself and don’t want to share it with anyone else. I’ll reveal why the Apple Studio Display could even become one of my favorite devices in the NextPit review.
