The State of Reviews

Over on the Scripps Howard News Service, there is a quick article that is supposedly to compare two laptops.

In the article they give a quick opinion that attempts to be humorous, but slightly bothers me. The article reads more like something you would find in the customer opinion section of Best Buy’s website, more than a real article you’d read online.

Imagine my delight when I, a mere Earthling, had the opportunity to compare technology developed by aliens with that developed here on good old terra firma.

At first blush, they resemble two standard notebook computers: An Alienware Area-51 m5500 ($1,049 base price) and the new Toshiba Satellite A105-S361 ($1,449.99 preconfigured). But then you notice an eerie blue glow coming from the alien device (the alien logo lights up when you turn on the computer).

All I am saying is make sure you get the details from a credible source before you run out and buy your machine because as nice as this little article is, it really does not give you the facts you need to make an informed decision.
