I was browsing around, and I found this article by PCWorld... I used to buy the magazine once in a while, and they were always a pretty good source of information. This page has some pretty good info if you need some help in buying a PC.

i don't really like some of their "opinions"

i wonder if they get paid by some companies to put falsy reviews. :shifty:

Well I'm sorry if it wasn't the greatest guide... I didn't read through the whole thing, I just skimmed through it, it seemed good to me, and the print magazine PCWorld used to be really good and helpful...

That's one of the problems with a lot of the information out there, is there's often an ulterior motive behind it to make some money somehow. The best thing you can do is take everything with a grain of salt and use it to form your own opinions. Always research from multiple sources that have nothing to do with each other to ensure you are getting more than one prospective.
