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.

    Great idea, but my concern is being watched without my knowledge, or info on what I do on my system being passed across, even if the system is used by me and not stolen etc!

    It does seem to me also that you are entrusting quite a bit to an unknown entity. Maybe I'll wait and see if these guys pass App Store muster. LOL

    I looked a bit at their website, and I don't know if I am ready to enable a firmware password, much in the same way as I also am reluctant to use FileVault.

    How disappointing. The site goes down for a few days right after the promo starts and then the site starts working again as soon as they terminate the promo early. Nice going. It reeks of bait-and-switch. :rolleyes:
