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.

    almost all online stores have policies protecting themselves against pricing errors. Save yourself the hassle and don't order 'em.

    I ordered about 6, they emailed me today saying that it was a pricing error and I would be credited. But they did give me a free 1 yr membership to their Platinum club.
