Simple, useful interface for comparing laptops
From 3 comments
Nice job. I love the simple interface. Just a quick bug: the 'reset settings' feature 404's. I think you're missing a `/1` at the end of the url.

Display size filter mishandles 13.3 inch screens
From 2 comments
FYI, the display size filter is wonky. Filtering up to 13" ignores 13.3" when it should probably include it.
hkmix on HN> 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.

Add thermal temperature data at idle and load
From 1 comment
In case the author is watching - would it be possible for you to add information about thermal temperatures at idle and at load? Notebookcheck is the only website I know of that…

Add SSD filter default or include SSD by default
From 1 comment
There is no reason to consider a laptop without an SSD in 2015. That should be checked by default.

Separate Lenovo and Lenovo ThinkPad brands
