I've been working at Laptop Station since 2008 as head of our customer care. Day-to-day, I chat with customers via email, live chat and on the phone to help them find the laptop that's right for them. There's never any jargon, no sales talk, and absolutely zero bs.

How do we work out our software scores?Learn more ⌄

We check the software makers’ official documentation for their minimum and recommended specifications, which are incorporated into our scoring.

Basic - This laptop is compatible with the software, but you'll have access to fewer features, and functionality will be limited.

Good - This laptop meets the software maker’s minimum requirements. Your experience will be limited by the specification of the laptop.

Very Good - This laptop meets the recommended requirements of the software maker. You should have a good experience using most features.

Excellent - This laptop is above the recommended requirements, meaning the app runs more smoothly.

We rank our laptops based on raw performance, so we don't take into account things like screen quality, brightness, or refresh rates.
