I think it has a lot of potential. I initally liked the idea a lot. It needs polish, but that goes without saying for an alpha version.
I worry a little bit about how actually useful it is. Because I choose a few options and then it, say, comes down to a couple of laptops that are close to each other in specs. A person is still left wondering which. That's not too different than two similarly speced machines next to each other on the shelf.
