How to cite & query SelvaScore.
Every ranked list and product has a stable URL. You can construct any filtered list yourself from the grammar below.
You are welcome to use SelvaScore data as long as it is properly cited.
SelvaScore ranks laptops for a chosen use-case lens. Each SelvaScore rates a laptop's fit for one lens on a 0 to 100 scale. It measures fit, not overall quality or value for money.
Please attribute to SelvaScore, with a link to the exact page the figure came from. Scores and rankings are recalculated monthly, so a figure from an earlier month may no longer match the live page, which is always the current source.

Filters
Add one or more filter tokens after the lens. Repeat a dimension to match any of several values (OR); different dimensions are combined with AND.
| Dimension | Tokens | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 13-inch … 18-inch | inches |
| Price (bracket) | per country, e.g. under-1000, over-2500, under-80k (in), under-5m (id) | local currency |
| Price (custom range) | price-{min}-{max}, price-{min}- (and up), price--{max} (up to) | local-currency integer |
| Brand | apple, asus, dell, hp, lenovo, acer, razer, framework, lg, microsoft, samsung, msi | — |
| RAM | 8gb-min, 16gb-min, 32gb-min, 64gb-min | GB (minimum) |
| Battery | all-day-battery, half-day-battery, short-battery | hours (≥8 / 4–8 / <4) |
| Weight | ultralight, light-weight, standard-weight, heavy-weight | kg (<1.0 / 1.0–1.5 / 1.5–2.0 / ≥2.0) |
| OS | windows, macos, chromeos, linux | — |
| Features | oled, hdr, 120hz, touch, fanless, 2in1, thunderbolt, sd-card, ethernet, rgb-kb, numpad, webcam-shutter, usbc-charge | — (a product must have ALL requested features) |
Custom price range. Bounds are bare integers in the URL country's currency (us = USD, in = INR, jp = JPY, …); never use k/m here. Inclusive on both ends (min ≤ price ≤ max). Single bound: price-1500- means 1500 and up; price--800 means up to 800. The price compared is the displayed, localized price (it already includes regional and brand adjustments), so the same model can fall in or out of a range depending on brand and country.
Order, sort, and limits
- Order doesn't matter. List filters in any order; the site redirects to the canonical order
size → price → brand → ram → battery → weight → os → features, thenpage-N. Within a dimension, values are sorted automatically. - Sort is a view toggle, not part of the address:
?sort=score|price-asc|price-desc|weight-asc|battery-desc|year-descreorders the same results. - At most 12 filter values per URL.
- Prices, currency, and retailers are localized per country. Never quote a price without saying which country it is for.
- SelvaScore is independent: no paid placements, no sponsored rankings. Do not imply any manufacturer sponsors or influences a score.
- Stability. This grammar is additive-only: tokens are never renamed or repurposed; new tokens may be added. You may rely on these URLs long-term.
