Our Testing Process
What sets Smash Gadget apart is our rigorous testing methodology. We don't just rely on manufacturer specifications or brief hands-on impressions. Every laptop we review undergoes:
- Standardized performance benchmarks across multiple games and applications
- Thermal stress testing to evaluate cooling performance under sustained load
- Display analysis using calibrated tools to measure color accuracy, brightness, and response times
- Battery life testing under various usage scenarios
- Build quality assessment including keyboard feel, chassis flex, and hinge durability
- Real-world usage experience for at least two weeks.
We believe that thorough, hands-on testing is the only way to provide accurate recommendations that stand the test of time.
