Computer Buying: Redefined

We're changing the way that people buy computers online by taking the guesswork out of finding the perfect computer.

You shouldn't have to spend hours researching computers, or know a computer guru who can make an expert recommendation.

We've done the legwork so that you can concentrate on finding the best computer for your money.

Buying a computer isn’t easy

  • Because of advancements in technology, you can’t just buy a computer based on "GHz".
  • Websites don’t show you the performance of computers – they only show complicated hardware specifications.
  • Wouldn’t it be nice if a computer website showed you the actual, raw performance of a machine?

Why You Can’t Compare "GHz" Anymore

Intel Core 2 Quad
Intel Core 2 Quad (Q9650)
AMD Phenom II X4
AMD Phenom II X4 (945)
  • Both are 3.0 GHz, quad-core processors.
  • At first glance, you would expect similar performance between the two.
  • On traditional websites, you wouldn’t know that the Intel processor is nearly:
    30% faster

By displaying the actual, real-life performance of computers, it's easy to make a more educated decision about what kind of computer is best for your needs.

Performance Benchmarking

In order to provide you with an accurate, easy-to-understand description of each computer, we've scoured the internet for a variety of performance benchmark results.

Method of performance benchmarking

We use a proprietary algorithm to collect thousands of benchmark results, and then aggregate all the results into a compatible format that allows you to view the performance of a computer on a scale of 0 (slowest) to 10 (fastest).
