Editorial & Independence Policy

Our standards

• We test every laptop on a consistent, documented Test Bench.
• Scores follow a published 10-point weighting and are based on measurements, not impressions alone.
• We write in plain, original language and avoid hype.
• We disclose affiliate relationships and sponsored content clearly.

Independence policy

• We buy or independently source review units whenever possible.
• We disclose loaned products and return them after testing.
• Editorial and affiliate decisions are kept separate.
• Brands do not see or approve reviews before publication.
• We update reviews when software, firmware, pricing, or configurations change.
• Sponsored content is always clearly marked.

Corrections

We correct errors promptly and note material changes. If you spot a mistake, tell us and include supporting data where possible.

Funding

We're funded by affiliate commissions. They never influence our scores. See how we make money.
