How To Write A Good Computers Review

For many years I have recommended Evesham computers to everyone I know. No longer. My latest Evesham desktop broke down just outside the 3 year extended warranty period. No problem, I have "Lifetime Telephone support", although the former freephone number was now 0870. After hanging on to speak to someone for the first two days, I then found it impossible to get through at all. No problem still - buy another computer I thought, sales soon answered the phone. I felt something was wrong though. No brochures, unhelpful staff. I queried the extended support - no longer exists. What about the In-home repairs for the first year - er, no, not at the moment. So... I ...  Read the complete review

The computer department of a site like Dooyoo is extensive. It covers all the components that consumers need to look at and decide upon in an effort to make wise purchases. Let's face it, there are millions upon millions of consumers, and the percentage of those consumers that will have limited knowledge or product savvy will be large, when you consider that technology is for ever changing, and that people like me are endlessly trying to keep up with the times, updating our computers, consuming in an attempt to keep up with ongoing technology. What I have found is that many reviews tell me about products that interest me, but that a certain element is often ...  Read the complete review

The Computers category has been pretty quiet of late, so as the new guide I thought I'd try to drum up some interest in the category with some suggestions for writing opinions. You don't have to be a nerd or geek to write a computer opinion. The most important thing is your *experience* of using the product. I'm not going to go into spell checking, proof-reading, being honest and not copying other peoples reviews, or the minimum word count thing here. If you cover everything I'm about to mention you will probably have put a lot of thought into your opinion anyways. ====== What To Include ======== I've seen a lot of reviews ...  Read the complete review

There are generally two extremes of Computers opinion on Dooyoo. The first type lists all the specifications of the equipment and tells you in minute detail about every single component. It mentions DDR, CPU, Northbridges, Southbridges, Serial-ATA, AGP, USB, PCX, PCI Express and a million other acronyms and pieces of jargon that you've got no idea about. The other type of opinion is very short, and barely says anything to help you. You may be surprised to hear that the first type of opinion can be as useless as the second type. This opinion will concentrate purely on Computers opinions and my feelings about what makes a good Computers opinion and hopefully ...  Read the complete review

An accusation often correctly leveled at reviews for Computer items, is that they are often written in pure technical jargon. This has 2 discernable consequences: a) Only the computer literate will tend to understand them, and to be quite honest a large percentage of those will already know a significant amount about the product being reviewed. This is especially true if it's a product such as a graphics card. b) The non - technically inclined will be at a complete loss as to what the review is about, or at the very least what the review means. This is a pity, as the product may genuinely interest the reading consumer, if they knew what ...  Read the complete review
