Here's what each means. Reviews 40 points : The most important aspect of any brand is the quality of its products. To determine a company's Reviews category score, we used the ratings we gave its laptops. We took the average laptop rating for each brand Laptop Mag rates on a scale of 1 to 5 , converted that average rating to a point scale and then added a 0.
Design 15 points : We absolutely will judge a notebook by its cover — and its sides, deck, bezel and base. Though no two notebooks look exactly the same, each brand has a design language that cuts across its product lines. Tech Support and Warranty 20 points : When you buy a laptop, you want to know that the manufacturer is going to stand behind that machine and help you with technical problems. We base this category's score primarily on the ratings from our annual Tech Support Showdown , in which we go undercover and pose questions to all of the companies, using their phone, web and social channels.
However, 2 out of the 20 points were awarded based on the quality of the company's standard warranty coverage.
