We are independently owned and we don't have any kind of partnership with third party brands listed on this site.

How score is calculated

We review several different kind of products which can hardly be evaluated with a single criteria. We rate the following attributes, with different weights depending on product kind:

  • Price: It's the first element we analyze as it allows us to insert a product in a specific segment of the market. Since it doesn't make a lot of sense to compare products belonging to different segments, price is a big factor in the score. Due to that, for example, it's possible that an entry level video card has a higher score than a high-end one.
  • Performance: It's the main factor for products like Processors, Video Cards and Solid State Disks, as it's really important for speed.
  • Build quality: Really important for products like Cases, Power Supplies, Motherboards and Video Cards. Stability, reliability and quality of supporting components are key points.
  • Features: Fundamental for Motherboards and Cases. It also takes bundles into account.

Notes

Score is assigned when a product is inserted in our database. We can’t base our score on always-changing pricing information or when a product updates its revision. The scores currently range between 0 and 100. You'll rarely find low score products on this site as our intent is to only review products we recommend buying.
