    I hope I'm not crashing your party, but popularity ranking is stupid and drives the crowd toward Intel products in a pure Apple style.There should be an option for processor type both in motherboards and laptops section.There should be categories of laptops such as netbooks, ultrabooks, student type, gaming laptops and so on, options valid through other categories.One can not buy hardware just for the bragging rights, SO NOT SO GOOD IN IMPLEMENTATION AS IT WAS IN INTENTION.

    congratulations! A very good initiative.I particularly like the features regarding the pros & cons,and also the reviews which are categorised by 'good', 'excellent', 'bad' , that way one will know about the positives as well as negatives which people encountered during their extensive usage.I haven't seen such concept anywhere else. :p

    The Product Finder seems like a nice addition to Techspot but what happened to the Deals page? The one that could be sorted by date and hotness of the deal.

    I didn't mean to make a mountain of out a molehill, I just figured that some of the members who build or service computers could probably add a lot of real world information that a tech writer may not have access to in the same way, say advising us that a given video card is very hard to clean, or a given CPU cooler tends to start making a noise after six months.

    Obviously having Guest write "Nvidia sucks, buy AMD" on every Nvidia card article would be pointless, but I think that this site's members would be a valuable resource to be tapped. The forums are filled with lots of people who give great hardware advice in terms of purchase and service, and it would be good IMO to channel that knowledge into product reviews, where they would be more accessible than forum searching.

    Very well done, but i'll stick to traditional methods and newegg customer reviews.

    So the deals section doesn't exist? How do you check the recent deals with the product finder?

    Product Finder seems like a good idea it just needs a chance to mature. What happened to the Daily Deal page?

    Sorry for that, we will reincorporate our daily deals page later today.
    Thanks for all the feedback thus far.

    First bug report: When you choose filters (price and rating for me), it works great for the first page, but not for later pages. Also, if I click on a product and then back out of it my filters are gone. Interesting addition to your fine site though!

    congratz
    step in the right direction :)

    was looking in the monitor section and find that there is doubling reviews from different reviewers (LG Flatron W2261V)
    probably its a copy/paste but should be avoided

    * The Hot Deals page is back, now available from the "Extras" menu, here's a shortcut just in case:
    http://www.techspot.com/deals-hot.html

    * Many of you are asking for advanced filters (screen size in monitors, etc.), which would be great to have and we might work on that eventually, but for now we wanted to launch solid with a handful of good features that will let you research specific products and narrow down on categories using the current filters.

    * We will start filtering out duplicate reviews more aggressively pretty soon.

    * Product specs may be added soon, we are still debating if they are worth having.

    * Pagination + filters are not working right now, we will fix that very soon.

    This can be discussed but at least a link to the manufacturer site pages giving the specs is a must.
