CNet Review - How do I know what to buy?

Looking for the perfect present for yourself or someone else? Check out our link to CNet Reviews (Research > Consumers). This resource has the latest reviews on new products as well as their “Hottest Reviews” and “Top Review Categories.”  From Camcorders to Wearable Tech, you can find reviews on many tech items here.

For the “Hottest Reviews,” you can glance at the subject headings; price and ratings or you can click on an item of interest and get a more in-depth review. For instance, when you click on Our Favorite Windows Laptop of the year, it lists the good, the bad and the bottom line and a full synopsis as well as quick specifications. The page also details the CNet Editors’ Rating and the Average User Rating.  The price range and the review date are also given.

By looking at the “Top Review Categories” you can pick the item you are interested in and click on it or you can click on Best and the results will be a list of items reviewed.  The review will include the name, price point, stars and a brief description.  More information on that product is available by clicking on the full review.

While this is not the only source for finding reviewed items and it won't tell you where to find the item, it is a good and reliable place to start your search.

Happy reviewing and good luck finding that perfect gift!
