The problem with buying a laptop is that it's really a personal decision. Since it's impossible to try every laptop that's out there, you need a site like Laptopical to help you sift through the choices.

The best laptop reviews give you speeds and feeds data, the high-level pros and cons, and go into detail about what makes it a good-or bad-product. Laptopical's reviews are fairly well organized and you can see the major points above the fold-a good thing.

The site can also be searched a number of ways. Aside from free text searching of the reviews, you can also look at all the reviews of a particular manufacturer, e.g. HP Laptops, and get a general sense for the different laptop makers.
