How we test: business laptops
TechRadar Pro is committed to providing accurate and unbiased business laptop reviews for our readers. Our team of experienced reviewers take a thorough and objective approach to testing to ensure our reviews are complete and accurate.
When evaluating laptops, we consider key features such as display quality, connectivity, productivity, and battery life. We buy and test a range of laptops from different manufacturers and retailers, using different methods to judge their performance. This includes setting up the laptops and using them for day-to-day tasks, as well as using specialized equipment to evaluate performance, battery, and functionality for professional and business-specific tasks.
After we complete our testing, we collect our notes and observations into comprehensive reviews. This review includes a detailed look at the laptop’s key features, our overall performance rating, and a list of pros and cons to help readers understand the laptop’s strengths and weaknesses with ease.
Our goal is to give our readers the information they need to decide which business laptop is right for them. We strive to be thorough, objective, and fair in our reviews, and we hope our efforts help our readers find the perfect laptop for their needs.

What we’re looking for
For every laptop we test, we primarily use it as our daily driver for several days. In this time we experience how the laptop works in the real world, and not just in benchmark tests. We’ll be using the laptop for writing, spreadsheets, emails, web browsing, basic photo editing, and more. We’ll also be using this laptop in different scenarios to see how it performs on the road and in different environments. Some of these include our office space, connected to multi-monitor setups, co-working spaces, coffee shops, transportation and home offices. After we’ve had a chance to use the laptop for a few days, we’ll run our benchmark tests to see if our experience matches the supposed experience according to the benchmark results. When conducting these benchmark tests, we ensure the following for consistent and fair results:
- Laptop connected to supplied power supply
- Latest Windows update applied
- Laptop set to stay awake
- Screen brightness set to 100%
- Run all benchmarks without “running apps” showing up in task manager
Now that that baseline has been established, we know that we rigorously test every laptop.
productivity
Overall productivity and performance are the single most important factor in a business laptop. That’s why we take the productivity and performance of these laptops very seriously. In addition to our real-world testing, we run several benchmark tests to ensure that every business laptop we test performs as it should. Some test standards we use to compare against other laptops are GeekBench, HandBrake, Browserbench Speedometer, Browserbench Jetstream2, Browserbench MotionMark, and CPU-Z. We usually run some of these tests and compare them to other laptops we’ve tested.
Show quality
One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a business laptop is the quality of the display. This includes resolution, color accuracy, contrast ratio and overall image clarity. We test every laptop’s display to make sure it meets our high standards for professional use.
Battery
Another important element when choosing a business laptop is the battery. While not the most exciting feature, having a high-quality battery in your business laptop can be a game changer depending on how you use it. If you’re on the road a lot, a strong, long-lasting battery would make that much easier. However, if you move from desk setup to desk setup most of the time, plugging in each time, battery life isn’t rated as highly. We test business laptop batteries using a number of different methods. First and foremost, we test this with real-life scenarios. We’ll be using the laptop as our daily driver for a few days to see how long the battery drains and if we need to run for a charger on a regular basis. In addition to our daily driver test, we will be using BatteryBar to test battery health and longevity.
