Our tests of the week
Alienware M16: a nice gaming PC that could be handled better
The Alienware M16 is a gaming PC that will appeal to gamers thanks to its very successful design and its great power. The screen calibration is mastered and we appreciate the satisfactory heating management. Be careful, the keyboard is a little disappointing and the LCD panel lacks brightness. Note that the PC is delivered without a protective cover.

Roborock Q Revo: excellent value for money
Roborock offers here a vacuum cleaner robot which combines the strong points. We love its precise navigation, its complete but intuitive application, its effective suction and its great autonomy. The Q Revo also offers good value for money and we appreciate its quiet operation. The only downside is that the Q Revo may have difficulty cleaning encrusted stains and detecting small objects.

MG4 XPOWER: an unbeatable performance/price ratio
Marketed at the “low” price of 40,490 euros, the MG4 XPOWER is an attractive and powerful electric compact that stands out from the competition thanks to its aggressive price. Its technical sheet is impressive and we love its handling on the road. On the design side, we regret that MG was not more daring. Be careful, the consumption of the MG4 XPOWER is quite high.
