The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    This is a good forum, but i found this one:

    notebookforums.com

    to be a lot more helpful, because there are much more users there.

    yes, that is a good forum. They've been around longer than this one, we started just last year and have grown 600% plus since that time and hope to keep growing. In general we tend to get a lot more people looking for recommendations and "newbie" types here and notebookforums.com can get a little more technical. Stick around here though, we've got a lot of reviews coming down the pipe and the site traffic grows nearly daily.

    I visit notebookforums.com for one reason: spiike . He mods laptops a lot, which is really hard to find. I find this place more laid back. Maybe it's just the color scheme, but I feel less intimidated.

    Completed mods:
    GPU cooling (100°C->75°C)
    Mods in progress:
    8600c to 8600 keyboard swap (to get the eraser head).
    Tweaks: Radeon 9600 pro (337/242) at 400/300

    Hmm, I thought these were the only notebook forums around. They use a much better forum system (vBulletin is one of the two top forum systems), but I think the people here are better since it's more friendly around here. That site also seems to have a bias towards the more gaming oriented brands. It doesn't even list IBM on there and IBM is a top 4 manufacturer in quantity.

    Pretty good for 2002 isn't it?

    This place seems to be about getting the most for your money while notebookreview is for advanced users with hardware tweaks.

    GPU cooling (100°C->75°C)* Inspiron 8600 * 1.8ghz Pentium M * 128 MB Radeon 9600 Pro Turbo (337/242 -> 400/300) * 2x256 MB DDR2700 SDRAM * Aquamark 3: 24058 * 3DMark'03: 3404 * 3DMark'01 SE: 13120
