I'm not saying that you're wrong, but e.g. im my case the priorities are different (screen quality, keyboard, battery, touchpad/clickpad/trackpoint, weight, etc... and CPU&GPU performance would be last but potentially weighted against watt consumption) => can become complicated => I don't think that a "universal" method of getting the "ultimate" sorted list is feasible => I'd definitely love a site that would allow to set my own priorities and get as result the "perfect" laptop/notebook that matches at most the expectations/priorities :)
Some retailers have such sites, but maybe not reviewer-sites? (I do use that https://www.notebookcheck.net https://www.notebookcheck.net whenever I want to buy something, but their selection criteria is limited)
In my case price has never been a direct primary selection criteria - I always bought the gadget that met all my minimum requirements but which didn't exceed the budget that I had available.
- mjevans 7y agoFor me it's about what works the least, and 'high price' is usually the main consideration since I __rarely use__ the laptop in question. My use case for a laptop is a couple times a year when I'm at a tech or similar convention for a weekend, or very very light use when visiting a relative's house for an hour or two. I agree that the screen and keyboard quality are also factors that veto a laptop; but those are much more subjective and difficult to actually rank. I think that might go in to an 'editors choice' within a given price point. Then you'd compare the 2-4 that fit within your budget needs.
