I think it has a lot of potential. I initally liked the idea a lot. It needs polish, but that goes without saying for an alpha version.

I worry a little bit about how actually useful it is. Because I choose a few options and then it, say, comes down to a couple of laptops that are close to each other in specs. A person is still left wondering which. That's not too different than two similarly speced machines next to each other on the shelf.

Thank you very much for the feedback.

Some other users have complained of options paralysis with the "find a laptop" page as well. Do you think the "Help me Decide" feature helps you with this issue?

Is there more information I can add to Wuggee notes to help out the decision making?

Please do let me know if you have any suggestions.

I didn't try it but I went back and tried it today. I like the general idea behind it, and it was pretty slick. Still feels empty though. The idea behind explaining things like "more processor would be a waste" or whatever is great. I'd emphasize that more and expand on that. Might eliminate that "oh that's it?" feeling I had.
