Gadgets? Its a good idea to compare before you buy.

I was trying to decide on which notebook to buy and wanted to compare different brands. After googling for sometime I came across this site called CompareIndia. I found it quite interesting and easy to use. On the home page just select the products, brands etc., and you will get pretty decent comparison results.
