How we score

Every verdict is explained, not just asserted.

We never pretend to have physically tested a device we have not held. Each score is transparent about where it came from, so you can judge the review as much as the product.

Our reviews are independent and advertising-supported. If you buy through a link we feature, we may earn a commission at no cost to you, and that never changes the verdict.

Hands-on reviews

We use the product first-hand and say exactly how long we spent with it. These scores carry the most weight.

Research-based reviews

For hardware we cannot physically test, verdicts draw on published specs, benchmark data and aggregated owner feedback, and are labelled as such.

Re-tested over time

Software and firmware change. If a product score should move, we re-score it and say what changed.
