About Us

Hey,

Welcome to LaptopSpecs.net  mousespecs.org favicon

The purpose of the website is to respond to the need for a reliable source of detailed and easy-to-read specifications about computer laptops.

Together with constantly updated specs, it is offered the models comparison tool to help visitors in buying decision making.

Besides specs and comparisons, we aim to eventually have reviews of the notebooks and a section with the news from the laptop world.

Why am I trustworthy?

I have been a Videogamer for the last 30 years, an Engineer for the last 5 years and since 2022 also a Digital Entrepreneur.

Since I was a child I have been fascinated by the world of laptops, it was possible to have performance similar to desktops, in such a small object (in the early 90′ desktops were huge machines!).

Moreover, that small engineering artifact represented to me a piece of something I could call “mine”, freely customizable.

The laptop-gamer background allowed me to be the first user of this website and to be aware of what a consumer expects from the gaming laptop.

What I usually do is to re-sell the notebook on eBay before it looses all its value; in this way I benefit of the recovery value of the good and I keep my hardware updated constantly. My gaming war-machine, at the moment, is the Alienware X17 R2.

Anyway, the Engineering studies made me understand the importance of data and values, the role of specifications and the physical meaning of measurement units, as you can imagine.

Finally, as a digital entrepreneur, I know what a business laptop should be and how it should aid the everyday work, including the performance (writing right now through an Dell Inspirion 15, very light-weight and powerful notebook).

Being a Gamer since 1993

I have played videogames for the last three decades, since the times of Dina Blaster and Prince of Persia 2D, functioning in the MS-DOS environment, passing through Quake III Arena and Return to Castle Wolfenstein (RTCW).

In this time I have played really all kind of videogames, like FPS (CS 1.6, CS:GO, Unreal Tournament, whole Serious Sam franchise, Battlefields, CoD and Rainbow Six Siege), Strategy Games (my favorite ones have been Age Of Empire and Mythology, Starcraft 1 and 2, Warcraft III, Total War Saga)  …but also many MMORPG (like Lineage II, World of Warcraft, Star Wars the Old Republic) or Management ones like Theme Ospital, Roller Coaster Tycon and newer ones such as Tropico, Medieval Dynasty, Frostpunk (etc.).

You can still find me playing online with the Steam Nickname V4SS1L1 (or VaSSiLi90 if the other is taken 🙂)… art name coming from the great movie “Enemy at Gates“.

I have had over two tens laptops during my gaming career (my current setup is Dell Inspirion 15 to work and Alienware X17 R2 to play).

This long time also made me develop a deep knowing about how they have evolved over time, they were bigger and heavier, lasting less and costing relatively more.

For these reasons, I really know what laptop users want, in terms of technical performance of components, keyboard heating issues, reliability of the system and why not, good looking as well.

Engineering Point of View

The MSc degree in Engineering made me appreciate the value of the preciseness of data and specification comparisons, to aid the consumer choice between different models.

The time spent in studying helped me to understand the technology behind the working of a laptop, in order to highlight positive and negative aspects.

Knowing how things work gives a boost in discovering the causes and relationships between facts of computer laptop world, leading to better and higher quality comparisons models.

Daily Business Routine

In later years, I begin my career as digital entrepreneur, which brought me to buy my first business laptop (you can imagine that it has to have different characteristics than the gaming ones).

I think that the time passed as company Engineer and the current as a digital entrepreneur completed my view of laptop world with the workers point of view of this market segment.

This is the motivation why we insert also business laptop models.

The value of Moderators, Community, Information Sources

I am not alone working on LaptopSpecs.net, I have a few friends helping me with this site, whom I call moderators.

Besides that, I have two moderators on the site and both have IT backgrounds, with hardware and software history in their CVs. More or less, all are some sort of gamers.

On top of everything most of our visitors are highly skilled computer experts and/or gamers, which regularly send their contributions and fix mistypes and wrong facts.

All specs on this site have been manually collected and inspected.  Most are taken from the manufacturer sites, technical papers and independent reviews.

Often data are found on highly specialized hardware and gaming forums, such as reddit.

Finally, we can benefit of the contributions of highly engaged users, which provide data-fixes and interesting suggestions on data representation.


The LaptopSpecs project has been created beginning with the code of the older website MouseSpecs.org.

As we like the specification theme and we like to help in the decision making, we plan in the future to produce more websites around other topics.

At the moment, they belong to the Specs group :

 

 

We hope you will keep visiting our websites and ejoying our specs!
