'Cnet certified store'

[Vernor]

That this certification mean that a certain online vendor isn't a low-balling scam artist ?

You pay them enough, and they'll say you're the best anything.

Perhaps this explains why all the lowest prices are from sites with a NJ/NY adress..

a lot of times thats not the lowest price you could find anyway.

If this is the case, where do you go for your reviews on general hardware? I realize that many tech sites have reviews on video cards, CPU's, and computer tower components, but I'm looking for more of a site that would give comparisons on peripherals, laptops, desktops, and such. This place used to be cnet. However, I have been enlightened. Any ideas?

Well, the prices are similar to what you can find on pricegrabber.com.


If you mean hot deals, I see very little for medium (3x zoom, 2MP) digicams these days.


And Ebay is full of braindead bidders.
