PC Data

This is a project for maximizing the rationality of laptop purchase decisions based on benchmark data. It is currently Canada-only, developed for the boxing day of 2023.

Data Sources

• CanadaComputers for product information
• PassMark for cpu benchmark
• NotebookCheck for gpu benchmark

View Results

There are five results generated for various users groups. They weigh cpu and gpu scores differently in their calculation of the composite benchmark. If you need it for gaming, video editing, or streaming, open the GPU-heavy benchmark. If you are an average student or officer, open the average benchmark. If you are a programmer, open the CPU-heavy benchmark.

⬇️ GPU-Heavy Side ⬇️

• 90% GPU Benchmark
• 70% GPU Benchmark
• 50% Average Benchmark
• 70% CPU Benchmark
• 90% CPU Benchmark
