How we read it

  • Score from 0 to 10 by spec sheet: processor and graphics card, memory, screen, portability, connections and year. It’s not a benchmark.
  • Price is the lowest from a trusted store at collection, the upfront-payment price when the store shows one. It changes without notice: check before you buy.
  • Cheap for the specs compares the price with that of laptops with a similar score and screen.
  • A laptop with no score (incomplete spec sheet) is left out of the score chart and stays in the full list.
  • Prices as of Nov 6, 2026, before shipping. How we calculate.
