We didn't get that much news this week either. That's simply because the tech year 2018 is practically over. We published two test reports for this, and more will be published by us in the coming weeks. But before that there is a summary of the past week here in 39. TechnikNews weekly.

Surface Laptop 2 review

On October 2rd, Microsoft introduced the Surface Laptop 6 alongside the Surface Headphones, the Surface Studio 2 and the new Surface Pro 5. I was able to test this for two weeks. What was striking was that, despite the fact that it "only" had an Intel Core i10, I still had no problems with the performance. Even at school, where I work with programs like Gimp, NetBeans and VS Code, I had no problems with the performance. I also really liked the display. One negative thing, however, was that Windows XNUMX was not optimized for the touchscreen in many places. You can find all further information in my review.

Samsung opened beta program for One UI

The Samsung Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9 Plus and Galaxy Note 9 will receive the new One UI user interface in combination with Android Pie from January 2019. However, users of the first two devices can already opt out of the open betaproHowever, there are only 10.000 places available, which means you should hurry if you want to test the new software now. You can get an invitation to the beta program via Samsung's Members app.

Huawei MateBook X Pro in review

In addition to the Surface Laptop 2, editor-in-chief David Wurm has been using Huawei's MateBook X Pro on a daily basis for a few months now. The first thing he notes in his review is that he really liked the 13,9" touchscreen, especially the colors. He was not so pleased that the display was very reflective. However, he had good things to say about the speakers, the keyboard and the battery life. You can read what else our editor-in-chief liked about the MateBook X Pro in his review.
