Hardware Websites

The news here at itsallPC is filtered and abridged. We avoid posting content that seem frivolous, off-topic or low quality. If you want the raw news and reviews, the best place to go are the hardware news and review sites.

Here are some of the best locations where we get out news from:


AnandTech - General good quality article and review site with RSS feed.
Ars Technica - Extremely good quality technical articles. Well edited and researched, Ars Technica staff are not just well informed, they’re very good writers too.
[H]ard|OCP - Good news site with frequent and well laid out articles reviews. Benchmarks have a real-world skew which makes them more useful as a performance indicator.
X-bit Labs - Good news site and RSS feed. Articles and reviews are usually very in-depth.
Toms Hardware Guide - The old standard, Tom's has been around forever. Over recent years, THG had transitioned into more of an IT magazine with a large number of well written reviews and articles, but with occasionally questionable content.


When reading articles and reviews, just remember:
  • A positive review doesn't mean a good product. Hardware reviews don't get the opportunity to test every aspect of a product and don't have to use it for months and months. The long term can reveal a shoddy product for what it really is, in a way benchmarks cannot.
  • Reviewer can make mistakes and say things that although to the best of their knowledge is correct, may not be. If you read two conflicting piece of information, seek a third or fourth for consensus.
  • Take care reading graphs; some can be misleading by their scale and what exactly is being tested.
  • Don't try to read something you don't yet understand. Work your way upto it.

    And finally,
  • Experience with something is worth more than reading about it.
