Core criteria
- Compatibility: devices, standards, plugs, and UK buyer expectations.
- Specs vs marketing: we prioritise real standards (e.g. USB-C PD profiles, HDMI versions).
- Reliability signals: warranty, brand track record, common failure modes.
- Value: price vs feature trade-offs, not just cheapest.
- Use-case fit: we name who each pick is for (travel, desk, gaming, etc.).
Notes
Not every item is physically tested in-house. Where we cannot test directly, we rely on standards compliance, documented specs, known platform constraints, and consistent reliability signals. We update shortlists when better options appear.
