Our tests of the week

Audi Q8 e-tron: comfort and power

During our test of the Audi Q8 e-tron, we were particularly won over by the comfort of this large electric SUV, as well as by its performance and its new battery which promises 500 km of autonomy. Attention, if we appreciate its dynamic behavior and its power, we note that its consumption is very high and that you will have to pay the minimum sum of 86,700 euros to offer you the Audi Q8 e-tron.

Huawei Watch Buds: a surprising 2-in-1 design

Huawei offers a practical and original concept here, with a connected watch in which very comfortable true wireless headphones are hidden. The audio quality is decent, without sparking, as is the battery life and health tracking. Since the earphones are stored under the dial, expect a thicker watch than usual, the case of which may sometimes open unexpectedly. Be careful, the Huawei Watch Buds are not waterproof and will cost you around 500 euros.

Honor Magic5 Pro: excellent value for money

Honor offers here a smartphone with good value for money. We love its pretty design, its good performance, its bright and well-calibrated screen and its good autonomy. The Magic5 Pro will also seduce you with its audio experience and beautiful photos. If you are a gamer, however, be aware that in-game performance may drop as the temperature rises. We regret that the fast charge is less good than that of the Magic4 Pro.

Roborock S8 Pro Ultra: an almost perfect robot vacuum cleaner

If you have a budget that allows you to afford the ultimate in robot vacuums, the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra might appeal to you. We love its suction power, its efficient and precise navigation, and its very rich application. The S8 Pro Ultra offers surprising autonomy, recognizes obstacles very well and its washing is even more efficient than that of its little brother. The only downside is that the docking station is particularly bulky.

Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED 2023: a nice technical sheet but some flaws despite everything

The Zenbook S 13 OLED is a slim and elegant PC with a powerful processor and a beautiful OLED display. If you are often on the move, this is a PC that could seduce you with its featherweight which makes it ultra mobile, provided you offer a protective cover since it is delivered without. We regret that the audio part is missed and that it emits a high noise nuisance.
