Where the numbers come from
Lowest price seen for the product on Amazon.co.uk, delivered to London SW1A 1AA, on the day it was read, including VAT. 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.
