How this page is built
The ranking rests on seven weighted criteria: performance relative to price (40%), component quality (20%), upgradeability (15%), memory and storage (10%), cooling, warranty and price freshness (5% each). An undocumented criterion is never replaced by a default value: it leaves the calculation and lowers the confidence figure shown. No frames-per-second number is used, because we hold no contextualised measurements.
