Hardware we bought or borrowed, tested on our own rigs, scored out of ten. Test conditions are published with every verdict.
Every device runs the same instrumented suite: sustained load, thermal logging, power draw at the wall, and a two-week daily-use period before a score is assigned.
Silence is easy for ten minutes. We compiled continuously until the chassis decided what it really thought.
Heart rate is basically solved. Everything the marketing pages put next to it is not.
Weight and field of view both improved. Battery placement is now the compromise everyone is arguing about.
Refresh rate stopped being the dealbreaker. The keyboard and the file workflow still are.
We ran four current foldables until something broke. Three survived; the failure mode was never the one on the spec sheet.
We replaced the screen, battery and USB port with a single driver, then measured what that modularity cost.
