Merriam Webster’s dictionary defines "review" as "a critical evaluation." Many consumers looking to purchase a new piece of high-tech equipment oftentimes want a critical evaluation of a product before they spend their hard earned money on one thing or another. At times, it can be difficult to locate a helpful laptop review before purchasing a portable personal computer unit.
In preparing this article, we visited a typical search engine and plugged in the terms necessary to locate a laptop review. We ended up receiving links to thousands upon thousands of Internet sites allegedly offering up a laptop review. Certainly, we thought, there cannot be thousands upon thousands of qualified people providing truly useful versions of a laptop review, let alone an appropriately critical evaluation of a particular unit.
While we do not intend to endorse any particular site, we do want to assist any consumer interested in culling through the vast Internet offerings to find a site that will provide an honest laptop review.
We suggest that you look for a laptop review made by an independent expert. Be on the lookout for someone in academia. Someone attached to a college or university tends to give unbiased information in the form of a laptop review.
Beware of sites connected with a manufacturer or a manufacturer’s association. The same holds true for sites set up by retailers and the like. Any laptop review offered by such a site with those sorts of interconnections necessarily will be biased and, ultimately, not a critical evaluation of the kind needed to make an informed purchasing decision.
Many sites with biases try to make themselves "look and seem independent." Therefore, you need to literally read the small print at the site to make certain you are gaining information from a laptop review from a truly independent source.
