Our benchmark tests consist of a core set we run on every compatible system. Then we update the OS, GPU drivers, BIOS and manufacturer utilities as needed and use an application such as Sandra from SiSoftware to gather information about the system's components, such as the CPU, GPU and RAM. As a best practice, during the setup, we disable as much of the invasive privacy and data collection options as possible. When a computer - typically a laptop, desktop, two-in-one hybrid or Chromebook - arrives at the CNET Labs, we set it up as a typical user of the product would.
A final review verdict is a combination of both those objective and subjective judgments. This includes evaluating a device's aesthetics, ergonomics and features. The review process for laptops, desktops, tablets and other computer-like devices consists of two parts: performance testing under controlled conditions in the CNET Labs and extensive hands-on use by our expert reviewers. But how, exactly, do we test the products we review? Over the years some of the methodology has changed, but our core commitment to in-depth product reviews has not. We review a lot of computers at CNET, and we've been doing it for a long time.
