Is there a website/debian page which lists hardware (like a specific laptop model) and current compatibility with Debian (current version preferably)?
Also with a debian config guide for that machine (for example, any special steps to make sure the OS is set up properly).
I'm probably going to get hit with 'just google it', but I envisioned there could be a central site for this (I had to ask anyway!).
Scheduled Maintenance: We are aware of an issue with Google, AOL, and Yahoo services as email providers which are blocking new registrations. We are trying to fix the issue and we have several internal and external support tickets in process to resolve the issue. Please see: viewtopic.php?t=158230

There also is this, on the Debian.org website:
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/ ... 01.html.en
You don't really need google to browse the website, it is full of use full information,
and it does have a search feature as well.
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/

In some cases, for some types of hardware there have been detailed explanations written, in fact this very same topic/category, many repeated explanations, on the most problematic hardware.Table of Contents
