Perhaps it's because most people buy said laptop at apple.com and not amazon.com



Bingo. No affiliate income. This site is biased not to mention inaccurate. More mentions does not equal better.


I took amazon links because: 1. They are most popular links to products on /r/SuggestALaptop and 80%+ mentions of laptops in Reddit comments come from this subreddit (second popular site is Newegg). 2. There is an easy access to product details via Amazon Products API

I wanted to ship it fast, so these are the reasons. Affiliate program is a nice addition to it, but even without it I'd still collect laptop mentions this way, as it's the simplest way for me to implement such a tool.

>More mentions does not equal better.

I totally agree with it, it's only one step in laptop research, but if you don't have time or knowledge to do some more research I think it's quiete safe guess.


>More mentions does not equal better.

Nailed it.
