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.

    Man, the font on the main part of that website looks awful. Apparently it's the "intel-clear" font tag that messes it up; if I take that out and it reverts to Tahoma it's much better.

    Practically speaking, what are the benefits you've seen? Sure, discounts are nice if you're planning to upgrade, but since I'd just as well stick with Sandy Bridge as switch to Haswell for essentially no benefit. It's only really the contests and events that would be of interest, and I'd imagine they'd be pretty rare.
