The purpose of the I Want and I Got lists is to show others what products you have and want, as a way to 'show off,' recommend specific products, and find others with similar product interests. It does not give you the ability to compare products.
However, you can compare products outside of your profile. You can click here and search for laptops based on various requirements you have. You can then check the boxes along the right-hand side and click the Compare button at the top or bottom to create a side-by-side comparison. On the compare page there is a 'Printer friendly' link so that you can cut away all but the comparison chart and print it for reference. You can also save the comparison chart in your favorites/bookmarks to come back to it later.
Hope this helps,

i have a question about how to use my profile- Where do i post this?
the only reason i set up a profile is so that i can line up a comparison of the laptops i am interested in, to line-up their features to choose one.
now that i have the computers i'm intersted in all in my ''want it'' list, there seems to be no way to compare them.
why can i compare things outside my list but not on my list? seems a little inconvenient to me.... or is there a way to do this?
thank you!
