JackAcme writes "Searching for product reviews via Google mostly turns up sales sites masquerading as review sites. Consumer reviews on Amazon and other big retailers are suspect since so many manufacturers are paying for positive reviews. Where do Slashdotters turn for reliable, informed reviews of new hardware and software?"

      This. I usually check Tom's Hardware, too, but keep in mind they mostly care about gaming. Also, Phoronix is the only site AFAIK that does Linux HW reviews.
