Buyer's Guide redesigned

[arn]

Hi

We've redesigned the look of the buyers guide and made it mobile friendly.

https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/

It also cross references the appropriate roundup which is our more complete discussion on a given product. Finally, we are also trying to do a better job with custom recommendations on products that are outliers, such as the iPod Classic and Apple TV.

Looks nice Arn, good job!

Clean design. I like it.

 

[Apple fanboy]

Looks clean and crisp. Good job.

Looks good! One little thing I noticed is that the thumbnail for the display section is of an iMac.



Not a big issue, but thought I would point it out just in case.

Nice job, clean looking and easy to use. Keep up the great work!

 

[mgipe]

Very nice! Shows very well on an iPad.

This is very nicely put together; from a reader's perspective, it is mercifully uncluttered. Actually, it is lovely and clean, clear, exceptionally easy to read and pleasantly easy to navigate. Very well done.

 

[T'hain Esh Kelch]

Looks good. I'd like the bars under 'Recent releases' to have a bit more contrast, ie. a darker dark grey. The grey on grey is a bit hard to distinguish. Other than that, well designed.

The new Buyer's Guide design.

I absolutely love the new design of the Buyer's Guide! Congrats, MacRumors!

Awesome! A definite improvement. I especially like the three 'at-a-glance' categories at the top, with more in-depth info for those who want it, below.

It's almost nit-picking, but if I had to make any suggestion at all, it would be "why not add Airport/TimeCapsule products to the "OTHER" category. A future addition perhaps?

Not a big issue, but thought I would point it out just in case.

Also, the description in the summary for the non-retina MacBook Pro is the same as the retina models.

MacBook Pro
Don't Buy Updates Soon

Apple's 13 and 15-inch Retina MacBook Pros are the company's top-tier portable machines with Haswell/Crystal Well processors.

Excellent! Well thought out, very nice fonts and spacing. Exactly the style I work so hard to achieve and often fall utterly short.

Thanks...we'll get that fixed.

Thanks. By default, the descriptions are automatically pulled from the corresponding roundups, but we only have a single roundup covering Retina and non-Retina MacBook Pros. I can override that though and do a custom description on the Buyer's Guide for the non-Retina one.

Well isn't this fancy...

Looks great!
