Laptop Score Calculator: Rate Any Laptop the Laptop1 Way

Rate any laptop with our scoring method. Give each of the six parts a score from 0 to 100 and enter the price.

How it works

The Laptop1 Score weighs performance at 30%, graphics at 10% and display, battery, build and ports at 15% each. The gaming, work and student scores use different weights that are shown under the result.

The value score equals the Laptop1 Score at $1,000. Each halving of the price adds 20 points and each doubling removes 20, limited to the range 0 to 100.

Questions and answers

Where do the part scores come from in your reviews?

From manufacturer specifications, published benchmarks and measurements by test labs. Our methodology page explains each part.

Why is graphics only 10% of the main score?

Most buyers do not game on their laptop. The gaming score raises graphics to 40% for those who do.

Can a cheap laptop beat an expensive one on value?

Yes. A $500 laptop gets 20 points added to its Laptop1 Score, while a $2,000 laptop loses 20.
