Editorial standards
The rules every page on this site follows, so you can judge it on the evidence.
Contents
Accuracy first
Every price, specification and performance figure links to a source we opened, with the access date. If we cannot verify something, we leave it out or say it is not stated. We prefer a specific, dated fact to a general impression.
Reported figures are labeled
Build costs, degrees of freedom and speed results that makers or authors report about their own hardware are attributed to them. We never present them as independent test results, and we have not tested the hardware ourselves.
Prices carry dates
Hardware prices change. Each price on this site is tied to the page we read and the date we read it. Where we relied on press coverage because a maker's page could not be read, we say so.
Calculations are marked
Where a figure is our own arithmetic from sourced inputs, the text says so and names the inputs.
Fair to every option
Each option is described in plain, neutral language, with its strengths, its limits and the team it suits. Every profile says when a different option is the better choice.
Trademarks
Product and company names are used only to identify the products discussed. This site is independent of the makers named on it and uses none of their logos.
How we use AI tools
We use AI tools to help with research and drafting. Every factual claim is checked against the source it cites before publication, and the sources are listed on every page.
Corrections
If a fact is wrong or out of date, tell us. We fix verified errors quickly, update the page's date and record the change in the page's change log.
