A score out of 100 for how well reviewed a product is next to others of its kind. It rises with positive reviews and with how many there are; negative and mixed reviews take points off. The best in each category scores in the 90s.
So a handful of glowing reviews can’t beat a product lots of people like. No sponsored placements.

MixedOwns the Intel G16 with RTX 5070 Ti for gaming and coding. CPU sits at 91-100C in games but cooling copes, battery life is poor, and the new chassis is easy to open. No issues so far.
