Recent XPRT mentions in the tech press

on November 30, 2023

Each month, we send out a BenchmarkXPRT Development Community newsletter that contains the latest updates from the XPRT world and provides a summary of the previous month’s XPRT-related activity, including mentions of the XPRTs in the tech press. More people read the weekly XPRT blog than receive the monthly newsletter, so we realized that some blog readers may be unaware of the wide variety of tech outlets that regularly use or mention the XPRTs.

For today’s blog, we want to give readers a sampling of the XPRT press mentions we see on a weekly basis. Recent mentions include:

Notebookcheck used WebXPRT in reviews of the Acer Aspire Vero 15, the Apple iPhone 15 Plus, the Apple MacBook Pro 14 (M3 Max, 2023), the Apple MacBook Pro 16 (M3 Max, 2023), the ASUS ZenBook Pro 16X, the Google Pixel 8, the Lenovo Tab M10 5G, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus.
Expert Reviews used WebXPRT in a review of the ASUS Chromebook Plus CX34.
Gizmodo used WebXPRT in a review of the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE.
PCWorld used CrXPRT in an article titled, “Best laptops 2023: Premium laptops, budget laptops, 2-in-1s, and more.”
ComputerBase (Germany) used WebXPRT in a review of the Apple Mac Studio (M2 Ultra, 2023).
TechPowerUp used WebXPRT in a review of the Intel Core i7-14700K processor.
Other outlets that have published articles, ads, or reviews mentioning the XPRTs in the last few months include: 3DNews.ru, AnandTech, Android Authority, BOTech News (Mexico), eTeknix, Enos Tech, Gadgets360, Hardware.info, ITC.ua (Ukraine), Mac Life, PCMag, QQ.com (China), Tech4Gamers, Tech Radar, Tom’s Hardware, and Tweakers.

If you don’t currently receive the monthly BenchmarkXPRT newsletter, but would like to join the mailing list, please let us know! There is no cost to join, and we will not publish or sell any of the contact information you provide. We will send only the monthly newsletter and occasional benchmark-related announcements, such as patch notifications or news of upcoming benchmark releases.

Let the XPRTs be your holiday shopping companion!

The holiday shopping season is right around the corner, and choosing the right tech gift can be a daunting task. If you’re considering new phones, tablets, Chromebooks, laptops, or desktops as gifts this year, and are unsure where to get reliable device information, the XPRTs can help!

The XPRTs provide objective, reliable measures of a device’s performance that can help cut through competing marketing claims. For example, instead of guessing whether the performance of a new phone justifies its price, you can use its WebXPRT performance score to see how it stacks up against both older models and competitors while tackling everyday tasks.

A good place to start looking for device scores is our XPRT results browser, which lets you access our database of more than 3,500 test results from over 165 sources, including major tech review publications around the world, OEMs, and independent testers. You can find a wealth of current and historical performance data across all the XPRT benchmarks and hundreds of devices. Learn how to use the results browser here.

If you’re considering a popular device, chances are good that a recent tech review includes an XPRT score for it. Go to your favorite tech review site and search for “XPRT,” or enter the name of the device and the appropriate XPRT (e.g., “Pixel” and “WebXPRT”) in a search engine. Here are a few recent tech reviews that used the XPRTs to evaluate popular devices:

Notebookcheck used WebXPRT in reviews of the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16, the Apple iPhone 15 Pro, the Apple MacBook Pro 14 (M3, 2023), the Google Pixel 8 Pro, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+.
Gadgets 360 used WebXPRT to test the Apple MacBook Air 15 (M2, 2023) and the Apple Mac Studio (M2 Max, 2023).
Gizmodo used WebXPRT in a review of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5.
PCMag used CrXPRT to evaluate the Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook Plus, the ASUS Chromebook Plus CX34, and the Acer Chromebook Spin 714 (2023).
TechRadar used HDXPRT in a review of the Lenovo Slim Pro 9i 16.

The XPRTs can help consumers make better-informed and more confident tech purchases this holiday season, and we hope you’ll find the data you need on our site or in an XPRT-related tech review. If you have any questions about the XPRTs, XPRT scores, or the results database please feel free to ask!
