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.

    C'mon, it has a freaking IP adress in the url. There's virtually no way that's for real.

    If you're in college, check to see what your school is selling it for. Sometimes, you can get it for even less than that website. Also, if you know others in other colleges, ask them to find out what their schools are selling it for. Good luck :)

    They do have a non-IP url http://www.clearancesoftwareoutlet.com/, but I don't think it's a good idea to go there. They're not even on ResellerRatings.

    If you can't get one through a University, just check out pricegrabber. There are a couple on there from highly rated resellers for under $100.00 US.

    That website looks highly suspicious. If I were you, I wouldn't risk letting them know my credit card #. There are "cheaper" alternatives to that website.
