All these suggestions are just about as confusing as the dang manufacturers!!! I like www.hardware-revolution.com. These guys recently changed their website to be more graphical. The old site was ugly, but there were just specifications listed, broken down by price and color coded. Period. It was easy to scan and choose the right components. That being said, the site is excellent for information all in one location. They have standard rating guidelines and easily searchable categories like, "Ultra-portable laptops" or "The best gaming laptops for your money".
They clearly list the qualifications for their decisions. It's a great place to go for the nuts and bolts...no fan boy crap or touting one brand over another...all specs, all the time.
