Bottom Line My Friends
Commercial website reviews are often quite flawed with respect
to testing procedures; usually not entirely unbiased with respect
to their desire to maintain good terms with certain manufacturers;
and always spin test results to color the reader's opinion.
Don't believe me? If I have time, I will show you a classic example of
this from Anandtech, comparing two entirely separate reviews of two
CPU coolers that obtained virtually identical results, yet Anand
concluded one product was an abject failure, while the other showed
great promise and just barely fell short of the top coolers they have
ever tested. Repeating: SAME TEST RESULTS.
Sift through the bull. Ignore the hype.
And when something seems a bit biased, go back and look at earlier reviews...
you may be surprised what the facts can tell you.
