Most of those links are several months to several years old, up until you get back to a link to this article, and your comment coming up first.

The fact they arent initially sorted by stagnation/date further invalidates really breaking a sweat looking up this kind of thing.

Algolia's default search is by popularity. Getting a search sorted by date is literally one click: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=best%20linux%20laptop&sort=byD...

This question (or variations on it) has been asked several times in the past few days.

It would be convenient if the UI would give feedback like that on the submission page. Maybe some kind of plugin API or JavaScript tool? Same with dupes. Not prevent you from posting, but just maybe asking Are you sure? Or Have you seen this previous post?

I do not say it is duplicate Ask HN for exact same reason you have mentioned: Those past posts are old.

I just pasted a quick-search url here so that folks can get some useful tips and info from those past posts. As an FYI. :)
