The big SelvaScore
This is a fit SelvaScore. It rates how well this exact laptop suits the one use case named just above it, not the laptop in general. Switch the use case lens and the same laptop can rank very differently. There is no single universal SelvaScore, and that is on purpose.A use-case-relative fit SelvaScore from about 5 to 100, computed for the active lens only. The same machine is re-weighted and re-scored under every lens, so there is deliberately no global SelvaScore.
e.g. A light, long-battery laptop can reach 90 for a student and 45 for heavy video work.
What a use case lens is
A use case lens is simply who the laptop is for and what they do with it all day: everyday use, gaming, study, creative work, or professional workloads. Every SelvaScore on this page is calculated for the lens named at the top. The finer choice underneath just narrows the same lens, it is not required.A lens is a weighting profile applied over the objective ratings. Five main lenses, each with five sub-lenses, give 30 in total. A sub-lens refines the weighting but is optional.
The 5 to 100 scale
SelvaScores never drop to a flat zero, because even a poor fit still does some things well. A low number like 45 means a weak fit for this particular use, not a broken laptop. Higher always means a better fit for the lens shown.SelvaScores are floored near 5 and capped at 100 per lens. Read low values as poor fit for the active lens, not absolute hardware failure.
SelvaScore breakdown
Different use cases prioritize different attributes. These rows show what matters most for your current lens. Switch to a different lens to see how the priorities shift.Surface attributes scored for the active lens. The rows, their weights and their tiers are lens-specific, so the whole section changes when you switch lens.
Objective profile
These ten areas describe the hardware itself, like graphics, screen, memory and build. They are the same for every buyer and never change with the use case lens.The 10 objective ratings, lens-independent hardware aggregates. The radar plots the same ten on a 0 to 10 ring while the tiles show them out of 100. Same data, shorter scale.
What the symbols mean
Each row starts with a symbol that ranks that trait for this use case: ★ exceptional, ✓ excellent, ○ good, — below average, ⚠ a real weakness worth knowing for this use case. A ⚠ on a high-scoring laptop is information worth knowing, not an alarm.Tier glyphs map 1:1 to the unified tier vocabulary: ★ exceptional, ✓ excellent, ○ good, — below average, ⚠ a real weakness worth knowing for this use case. The SelvaScore badge carries the exact number; the glyph is the quick read.
Seeing other lenses
Use "How it ranks in every lens", the list on the right, or the bar at the bottom on a phone to re-judge this same laptop for a different kind of buyer. The SelvaScore and the breakdown above update for whichever lens you pick.Each lens control links to this product under another lens, reloading with that lens active. Inside Compare, the lens dropdown recalculates live without a reload.
The rank line
Where this laptop sits among all the laptops we rank for this exact use case and country. Change the lens or the country and the rank changes too, which is expected.Rank within the collapsed per-lens listing for the active lens and country. The denominator is that country's visible catalog for this lens.
About the price
The figure is an approximate, converted estimate for your selected country, not a live store price. Tap the retailer button for the exact current price. In some countries retailer links are still being added.A localized estimate derived from the base price and shown as a range. It is not a live price feed. Use the retailer link for the real-time figure.
Ungeek vs Geek
Ungeek uses plain words like Graphics, Screen and Memory. Geek shows the technical names like GPU, Display and RAM, plus a fuller spec sheet. Your choice is remembered.Toggles body.geek-mode, swapping friendly labels for technical ones across labels, spec tables and chart axes. Persisted in local storage.
Country and currency
Switch your country at the top to re-price the catalog and adjust which laptops are shown for your market. The flag and currency code show your current market.Selects the market: re-localizes prices and currency and applies the per-country catalog and archive. Server-rendered per route.
Compare
Tick Compare on any laptop to build a side by side of up to three. Pick at least two before the Compare button opens, so a greyed button just means you need one more. Your selection is kept for your country until you clear it.Adds the laptop to a client-side set in local storage, scoped per country. The overlay opens at two or more and overlays organ radars plus a lens-switchable SelvaScore table.
Champion and Renewed badges
Champion means this is our top ranked pick for this use case and country this month. Renewed means a professionally refurbished unit rather than a brand new one.Champion = rank 1 in the active lens and country. Renewed = condition flag from the source listing, not a new unit.
