# GadgetDisc

> GadgetDisc is a hardware intelligence platform for discovering, comparing, and evaluating laptops. We provide AI-powered 5-dimension scoring (Gaming, Productivity, Display, Portability, Value) across 290+ laptop models from all major brands.

## What GadgetDisc Does

GadgetDisc collects comprehensive hardware specifications for laptops and scores each one on a 0–100 scale across five independently weighted dimensions. This allows users — and AI systems — to find the optimal laptop for any specific use case without being misled by marketing copy or cherry-picked benchmarks.

The platform covers laptops from: Apple, Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, MSI, Razer, Samsung, LG, Microsoft, and more.

## Scoring Methodology

Each laptop is scored 0–100 per dimension. Scores are derived from verified hardware specifications and benchmark data — not editorial opinion.

- **Gaming Score**: GPU tier, VRAM, CPU sustained performance, display refresh rate, thermal headroom
- **Productivity Score**: CPU multi-core performance, RAM capacity, battery life, display quality for work
- **Display Score**: Panel type (OLED/IPS/TN), resolution, refresh rate, brightness, colour gamut
- **Portability Score**: Weight (kg), chassis thickness (mm), battery capacity (Wh), form factor
- **Value Score**: Performance-per-dollar ratio across all other dimensions

The Overall Score is a weighted composite of all five dimensions.

## Machine-Readable Data (API)

All laptop data is available as structured JSON for programmatic access:

- `GET /api/laptops` — Paginated list of all laptops with specs and scores
  - Query params: `q` (search), `brand`, `sortBy`, `maxPrice`, `minRam`, `panelType`, `maxWeightKg`, `gpuBrand`, `releaseYear`, `page`, `size`
- `GET /api/laptops/{slug}` — Full specification detail for a single laptop (CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, display, ports, battery, scores, pricing)
- `GET /api/compare?slugs={slug1},{slug2}` — Side-by-side comparison of two or more laptops with winner analysis

All API endpoints return `application/json`. CORS is open for AI crawlers.

## Key Pages (Structured Data)

Every page includes Schema.org JSON-LD structured data:
