Comparagon Early access

Decide what to buy in one table, not twenty tabs.

Say what you're buying and what you won't compromise on. Comparagon finds the contenders, looks up every spec with its source, gathers what testers and owners say, and shows which ones meet your must-haves. You cross them off until one is left.

From one sentence to a graded comparison, on real headphones collected by hand while live search is built.

Everything you found out, in one place

A big purchase takes a few evenings. Comparagon keeps what you asked for, how each option scored, what other buyers found, where every number came from and why the others are out, so on Thursday you pick up where you left off instead of starting over.

  1. Start with what you won't compromise on

    Budget, where it ships, battery life, weight: whatever matters for this purchase. Mark each one a must-have or a nice-to-have. You choose on what you need, not on the name you've heard of, and skip the upgrades you'd never use.

    The requirements editor: budget 1,200 to 1,900 euros, ships to Portugal, then battery at least 10 hours, weight at most 1.4 kg, brightness at least 500 nits and memory at least 32 GB, each marked Must or Nice.

  2. Scores you can argue with

    Every score starts from what testers and owners say, then shows its reasons: the targets it met, the ones it only just met and the ones it missed. You'll know exactly why the 87 lost to the 94, and which one is the best value.

    Five laptops ranked by grade with their reviews: Aeris Book Pro 14 at 94, every target met, 4.7 of 5 from 2,100 owners; Norra X1 Slate at 87, marked best value; Oriel Slate 14 at 82, the cheapest that meets every must; down to Volta Air 13 at 71, which misses brightness and memory.

  3. Know what owners found out

    A spec sheet says what a product is. Reviews say whether it holds up. See expert tests, owner ratings, the praise and complaints that keep coming up, and how often it breaks, each with a link to read it yourself.

    What testers and owners say about Norra X1 Slate: a review score of 93 from 2 expert tests and 3,180 owner ratings; Bench Report 9.4 of 10, 'Feather-light with a superb OLED panel; battery life is only average'; owners praise its weight and OLED colours and complain the battery drains fast at full brightness; 6% reported a fault within 2 years.

  4. A price in context

    €1,600 sounds cheap next to €2,500 and dear next to €900. See where each price sits among everything the search found, and what the extra money actually buys over the cheapest one that meets your must-haves.

    Norra X1 Slate at €1,612, marked best value: cheaper than 5 of the 11 other laptops the search found, on a range from €1,289 to €2,140; €72 more than Oriel, the cheapest that meets every must, for 0.16 kg less weight and 8 GB more memory.

  5. Every number shows where it came from

    A spec without a source is a guess. Open any value to see the page it came from and when it was last checked, and estimates are labelled as estimates. Check the one number your decision hangs on.

    A value's source opened over the table: Aeris brightness, 1,600 nits, meets the 500 nit target, from displaytest.org, checked two days ago.

  6. Ask, and the table changes

    Ask it to compare screen brightness, or paste a link to a laptop you spotted. The AI assistant adds it to the table, lists what it changed under its reply and lights up the cells it touched.

    The AI assistant's reply says it added brightness for four of five laptops. Its 'Brightness spec added' note is highlighted, and the brightness column lights up in the table while the other columns dim.

  7. Cross it off, keep the reason

    Narrow the list without forgetting why. Ruled-out products move below the table with your note, too heavy or over budget, and come back with one click if you change your mind.

    Ruling out Volta Air 13 with the note 'Misses brightness and memory'. Below the table, the Ruled out group keeps Kestrel Studio 15, too heavy for a cabin bag, with a Restore button.

What would make you close the tabs for good?

The spec you always end up checking by hand, the category nothing compares properly, the part of buying that drives you up the wall. Notes go straight to the person building Comparagon.
