The price is the lowest we found today at the stores we check (with the upfront-payment discount when the store offers one), collected on Nov 6, 2026. The score for each use is the spec sheet score calculated by the Radar, from 0 to 10, averaged across of the screen sizes in the line.

Where the numbers come from
Lowest price seen for the product on Amazon.ca, delivered to Toronto M5V 3L9, on the day it was read, before GST/HST. The line groups the laptops from the same brand and series. A pair is created when someone searches for both lines together, when one succeeds the other, when they share a brand and price range, or when they are the highest-scoring ones from two brands in the same segment.
The spec score doesn’t measure real-world performance or durability, and the verdict by use is a comparison of numbers, not a buying recommendation.
