Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: June 2026
How We Earn Revenue
LapZen Lab is reader-supported. When you click on links to retailers on our site and make a purchase, we may earn an affiliate commission at no extra cost to you.
Our affiliate partnerships include (but are not limited to):
- Amazon Associates Program
- Other retailer affiliate networks
Our Editorial Independence
Affiliate relationships never influence our scores or rankings.
Every laptop in our database is scored using the same formula:
- Benchmark normalization (CPU, GPU, display, RAM, SSD)
- Performance-to-price ratio calculation
- Value-based ranking
This formula applies equally to laptops we have affiliate links for and those we do not. We would rather lose an affiliate commission than recommend a bad laptop.
Price Accuracy
Prices on our site reflect what we last stored from our sources. Retailers change prices frequently. Always confirm the current price on the retailer site before purchasing.
Transparency Goals
We believe readers deserve to know how review sites make money. If you have questions about our affiliate practices, contact us at hermes.smith.ag@proton.me.
LapZen Lab — Honest hardware recommendations. Always.
