Frequently asked questions
Where do the values come from?
Only from manufacturer-owned sources: product pages, specification pages, help-centre articles and spec sheets on the manufacturer's domain. Resellers and trade press were used to find devices, never as the source of a value.
Why does it say "not stated" so often?
We show a value only if the manufacturer publishes it. Nothing is inferred, e.g. a scanner is listed as wired only when the manufacturer says so.
Why are there no prices or ratings?
Prices depend on the dealer, bundle and country; they are available on request from the manufacturer. The comparison is factual: no test, no ranking and no recommendation.
How current is the data?
Every value was read on the manufacturer's page on the check date shown. Changes the manufacturer made later appear only after the next check of the sources.
