We are an IT and software company, not a review site. Everything here is hardware we have deployed on real jobs, which is why the list is short and why every review has a section on what is wrong with the thing.

Read the reviewThe cheap fix when one computer is the only thing with bad Wi-Fi, and the USB port mistake that makes people think it has not worked.

Read the reviewWhy the list is short
Most buying advice online is written by people who have never handled the product. That is why so much of it sounds the same and why none of it mentions the annoying parts.
The trade-off is that this list grows slowly. We would rather cover four things honestly than forty from a spec sheet. If you want a category we have not covered, ask, and we will say plainly whether we have used it.
More useful than a single review
