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.

    From a whois search of the website:
    Code: 
    Domain Name.......... homegardenappliances.com
  Creation Date........ 2010-03-26
  Registration Date.... 2010-03-26
  Expiry Date.......... 2012-03-26
  Organisation Name.... Beth Campbell
  Organisation Address. PO Box 61359
  Organisation Address. 
  Organisation Address. Sunnyvale
  Organisation Address. 94088
  Organisation Address. CA
  Organisation Address. US
    Seeing as it was created little more than a week ago, I'd bet the website is fraudulent.
