I wish I had this when I was buying my last laptop! I ended up with a ThinkPad x131e which is a bit on the heavy side but satisfied most of my other needs.
Some minor suggestions:
* Allow selection of operating system/platform. This will let people weed out, for example, Chromebooks if they know that ChromeOS is unsuitable for them. For Mac/Windows, the manufacturer filter already does this.
* Show Linux compatibility. Ubuntu has a compatibility list and the other big distros probably do as well. This would have to be advisory only though since one model might come in a few different configurations.
* Other filters: Touch/non-touch, convertible to tablet, detachable keyboard, etc.
I'm also surprised to not see Microsoft in the manufacturer dropdown. The Surface tablets (with keyboard cover) look like a very interesting laptop-like option.
- zaibasxs 12y agoMicrosoft is not the only one... I didn't spent too much time on manufacturer list - wanted to get public asap. I'll add Microsoft Surface in coming few days. The problem with filters is that there is a very wide array of opinions on what should be added and it's common for Amazon to not specify many non-primary specs/write contradictory specs or simply plain wrong data. Therefore I won't be able to just throw in more filters, just a few at a time. Thanks for suggestions, gonna add them to my spreadsheet heh.
