FYI, the display size filter is wonky. Filtering up to 13" ignores 13.3" when it should probably include it.

Your definition of "up to 13", includes the higher number 13.3? I hope you aren't a programmer.

You think that users always want clear, mathematically valid filtering criteria on searches? I hope you aren't a programmer.

Hmm... should it? Im not sure. Would love to see a poll on this.
Poor GP post is going gray, but I kinda agree. 13.3 should probably make the <13 cut, just as 14.9 should make the >15 cut. The slider is limited to whole numbers, so it might make sense to round the display's actual diagonal to the nearest integer before applying the user's criteria.
I think it is better to change the interface so that the choice is labelled <13.3 rather than <13.
