I use a broad selection of tech sources when researching a new system and value them in their context. Reviews from major publications and Internet content providers can be unduly influenced by interested parties, so I take that into account. User reviews are very valuable, but also have to be taken critically. End-users have varying levels of expertise, and they may identify perceived issues that are not really issues but easily corrected operating parameter adjustments. I take the entire universe of reviews that I collect from various sources and put them all together when coming up with a final purchasing decision.
When purchasing a new Alienware Desktop, is there a tech resource you use for reviews?
