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.

    Just wondering if anyone has heard of this store or ordered from them:

    Home page

    They seem to have some great pricing on things, but am a bit leary.

    edit: nevermind, nothing even on the "contact us" page, error with "privacy notice", and the contact email at "shipping and returns" is a hotmail email address... in other words, I'd steer clear.

    Yeah, I was just googling for a laptop for someone and this place came up. Went to the site, and at first look, it looks legit, and price was awesome, like $200 less than the lowest price at a respectable etailer. Someone spent a lot of time inputting a lot of product on the site, though.

    Well how long ago did you order, sometimes tracking can take a whole day before anything shows up. Be sure to let us know how it turns out and for your sake hopefully you get your merchandise. If you put it on your charge card, tell you credit card company so you can get your money back.
