Summary
Kia EV3 test: a autonomy monster cheaper than a Megane
The Kia EV3, nicknamed "baby EV9", stands out for its many assets that could make it one of the best electric SUVs of 2024/2025, despite its ineligibility for the ecological bonus of 4000 euros. Kia succeeds in offering a competitive model, efficient in terms of autonomy and displaying an attractive price compared to its competitors. Check out our Kia EV3 review.
Xiaomi MIX Flip review: it was worth waiting 5 years!
The Xiaomi MIX Flip stands out as an interesting option in the world of flip smartphones, despite a few flaws. The battery life is decent, the performance solid, even if the photo part still needs to be improved, which is the case for many models in this category. The lack of IP certification is a small drawback, but it makes up for it with real strengths: two superb screens, a fluid and pleasant to use interface, really fast charging, and a very well thought-out external screen. We tell you everything in our test of the Xiaomi MIX Flip.
Mac mini M4 test: at 700 euros, it's hard to do better
The Mac mini M4, available from 699 euros, offers excellent value for money. With its sleek design, impressive performance thanks to the M4 chip, and modern connectivity, it is ideal for everyday use. Quiet and equipped with efficient ventilation for more demanding tasks, it guarantees a pleasant experience. However, it is not the best choice for gaming and we would not have said no to more affordable storage options. To learn more, visit our Mac mini M4 review.
Rockrider E-ACTV 900 review: Decathlon's best electric bike?
The Rockrider E-ACTV 900, sold for 200 euros more than the Btwin LD 920 E, stands out with notable improvements that justify this price difference. With wider tires and a suspension fork, it offers better comfort on paths and in urban areas, especially on sidewalks and cobblestones. To learn more, visit our Rockrider E-ACTV 900 review.

iPad mini 7 (2024) test: a lazy update for the best of small tablets
The iPad mini 7 (2024) is a very capable little tablet, but its high price of €609 remains difficult to justify, especially since the developments compared to the iPad mini 6 of 2021 are minimal. The €200 difference with the iPad 10 is also questionable, especially in the absence of improvements such as Face ID, an OLED screen or 120 Hz. We tell you everything in our test of the iPad mini 7.

We tell you everything in our review of the 2024 Volkswagen California.
MacBook Pro M4 Pro review: where will the progression of Apple Silicon chips stop?
The Apple Silicon M4 Pro chip marks a new milestone by surpassing the performance of the M3 Max, even if its graphics capabilities, sufficient for demanding games, remain behind the latter. This progress could push Apple to better consider gaming on Mac. In addition, the machine excels with its anti-glare nano-textured screen, its comfortable keyboard and trackpad, its remarkable autonomy, and a quality audio system.
