Over the time we will have more and more questions like "What is the best choice in price range x to y" etc...

I am thinking of making this mainly for PC sets/laptops. Do we want to create a big thread with community wiki answers?

We could point this out to the new users rather than marking their questions as duplicate.

I'd be against doing this right now. Once we have precedent (meaning those questions are actually being asked), we should revisit this.

That said, "What is the best choice in price range x to y" is off topic here - there isn't enough information. We should be closing those questions, not answering them.

  • I know that simple questions like this are off-topic but I meant something more categorized: price range, requirements, usage, terms of warranty etc etc...

  • @belford Maybe I don't understand - do you want to create a question for every combination of price + warranty + usage?

  • Trying to find every combination is impossible but we could make several narrower groups: gaming/programming/design/data science etc... Gathering such questions in one place could be useful.

  • @belford I'm having a hard time seeing what advantage we gain by doing that instead of just closing later questions as a duplicate of the first one, if they are indeed duplicates.

    Mainly I was thinking about search engines and linking our site. Top position on Google can help us to get new users - these keywords are very popular (like "best laptop for..." or "gaming laptop under $1000"). If they see this thread earlier they may not asking so many questions on the same topic.

    Stack Exchange sites are very good at SEO - getting on Google is no issue. I'd vote to let this happen organically instead of trying to force it.

  • Yet I'm with @belford that it would be useful if we added a bunch of questions for realistic, predictable hardware recommendation questions which we know people are searching answers for.
