Idea: Pivot into ProductHits.com and do this for different categories. Use Amazon affiliate links and promote it on social media by making videos and blog posts about "this weeks top ten products". You owe it to yourself to make this. :) PS. If you dont I will. ;)

I'm really not trying to just be argumentative, but if you'd just look at the stylesheet you'd see it doesn't come down to that. There is no real attempt to give a good experience in a mobile context. And when it comes to basic responsive typography, there really aren't that many variables at all. Whether a screen is 320, 435, 515 wide, etc - a single query context could serve all those needs.
I'm not trying to be argumentative either, I'm just confused as to why I'm being told my experience is objectively wrong? Maybe he's not trying to cater to a mobile context, I don't know his intentions. I am just expressing my opinion that I think the site is great and doesn't need any more styling. It works fine on my phone, yet somehow that means I'm trolling? Not sure what more you want me to say?
And yes, you are certainly open to your opinions - I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree : )

It's like PageRank but for product reviews. Can I help you work on this?!

It doesn't look great on an android phone, though. And (possibly because of the missing viewport setting) I get crazy "let me zoom that for you" behaviour when I try to click on things. It could do with some responsive styling.
Weird. Seems to work fine with FF on my android phone
In Firefox, the results section is too wide, resulting in text that is either too small to read or that requires left-right scrolling. However, the filter section smart-zooms nicely and is easy to click.
In Chrome, the results section is wrapped and of legible size and is easy to skim through by scrolling vertically. However, there is a vertical strip of missing pixels at the left, such that the number 10 on the last result is missing its numeral 1 and part of its 0. The filter section smart-zooms nicely and is easy to click.
In both, it would be nice to lose the underscoring on the links (a pet peeve of mine, fixed with a user style sheet on my laptop).
Hi 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…
[edit: personally I love the fact there's 0 images of the laptops, etc. Just data...]
[edit 2: regarding mobile friendly, I had no problem browsing this on mobile. If you do so, try to do it with CSS only and layout, IMO]

There are a few big reasons for this:
- Since it's computer shopping, you'll probably have a fair amount of users accessing this site from a mobile device.
- Mobile users are more likely to leave your site if it looks even a little frustrating to use. Google offers several mobile friendly sites that recommend laptops.
- Google will not rank your site as high if it does not deem it to be mobile friendly.
- You said you are looking for a job as a Rails developer. It's a fair bet that any potential employer will expect mobile-compatible sites. Perhaps you don't really intend to do much front end work, but knowing more about it will benefit you regardless.
I understand that what your site offers is very special, and probably much better than hand picked recommendations. Many mobile users simply don't care. They don't want to zoom and pan to select options. Why should they stick around on your site, when they can just hit "back" and choose another result from google?
All that said, I really like what your site has going on. It seems quite functional, and the minimal design is a breath of fresh air.
There are two other things I would change, but these are just personal preference. Feel free to ignore them:
1. I would like the option to view more items per page.
2. The default, bright blue link color hurts my eyes. Something a little darker would be great.
Keep up the good work!
Being able to filter by amount of RAM, SSD/HDD and maybe the most common CPU lines, would be nice.
Visiting the first link (Dell 15.6-Inch Gaming Laptop) on amazon the price i see is $799.99. Visiting in private browsing https://www.amazon.com/Dell-15-6-Inch-Quad-Core-i5-6300HQ-Pr... the price changes to 699$. Is this standard practice for amazon?

How did that work out? Like seriously (not trolling). Did you make a lot of money? Always wondered about dabbling in Gambling / online games / casinos.
Why do you want back in on software development?
