How We Test Build Quality
We assess chassis rigidity, lid and deck flex, hinge feel, and materials to estimate long-term durability.
What We Measure
- Chassis rigidity
- Lid and keyboard deck flex
- Hinge feel and stability
- Material quality
How We Test It
We apply controlled pressure to the lid and deck and note flex.
We open and close the hinge repeatedly to assess feel and wobble.
How It Affects Scores
Build quality scores weight rigidity and materials, which correlate with durability.
Equipment
- Controlled flex test
- Hinge cycling
