What's the replacement for SparkBuy?

I want to buy an inexpensive laptop with 80+ GB SSD and 4+ GB RAM. Where do I go to find that?

Edit: thanks to sliverstorm for suggesting newegg.com It's seems to be a good replacement to SparkBuy (unlike Google Products Search).

NewEgg even looks somewhat similar to SpartBuy interface.



The replacement for SparkBuy is clearly going to be Google Product Search's next major iteration.

Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of our lives... well, at least for a few years.


They're likely reviewing and QAing it and then going to integrate some form of it into Google Products/Google Shopper.


So when do you think Google Product Search team would deliver similar features?

I'd say in a couple of years.

And that would not really work as good.


If you can wait a couple of months, the answer to that will be to visit our startup http://www.happybuy.com/

We're in the process of iterating to enhance our search to allow you to answer just those kinds of specifics :)


Happybuy is not a replacement for SparkBuy. The filters don't work as good.

Still you have a good change of outperform Google Product Search team. They shot themselves in a foot by closing working project (SparkBuy).


Yes agree, thats why I said to wait a few months. We currently have a broader range of products but we don't do search filtering as well - that will change.


Newegg?


Have you tried Decide.com?


I don't see how to search for SSD there.
