#23Hi all, I want to find a job as a RoR developer, but as I have ~10 years coding gap in my CV (I played poker, ran poker forum and did other poker related things) I decided to start some real life projects to build my GitHub portfolio. LaptopHits.com is the first one. Idea came to me when two of my friends wanted to buy new laptops and asked me,'the computer guy', for some recommendations. I'm not laptop expert, so I…
I get those type of questions all the time too, and I also feel at a loss sometimes if it's been a while since the last time I went on the hunt. Another place to scrap/pull from might be Slickdeals.com because my friends are looking to get a good deal not just drop a lot of money on a laptop so after finding out what the best model is I end up creating a bunch of filters to notify when that model shows up there.

I would say you did an impressive first step towards your goal of filling up a coding gap. This is spot on regarding utility! Congrats on shipping and implementing such a useful tool :)

#26I know it's an MVP but I miss this old style of faceting. These days selecting or unselecting a facet takes so long. The clean aesthetic really appeals to me also. I guess modern companies need ways to differentiate themselves and big nasty designs are they say to go.

#27It looks great despite having very little styling!

#28Nice work! Reminds me of the old pricewatch days (which, apparently is still a thing!)
If you're looking for recommendations, one of the most important specs to me personally is the screen resolution.

#30Good timing for this product! With so many Macbook Pro users upset and looking for Linux (like myself) , being able to find a laptop with excellent build quality will be really nice!
I was one of these people. I just got a maxed-out Thinkpad X1 Carbon and run Ubuntu on it. It's a really nice machine, you should look at it.
