For my website review, I chose to take a look at Tom’s Hardware, a popular website talking about various computer-related issues with a heavy emphasis (obviously) on hardware. It has article categories on the major components of the average PC – CPUs, motherboards, graphics cards, cases, power supplies, and more, along with a “Build Your Own” section dedicated to exploration of various possibilities in building your own computer. They also post news articles dealing with major technological advances in computer-related areas, such as smartphones, tablets, computer games, technologically-oriented companies such as Samsung and Microsoft, as well as “sponsored” articles and white-papers from various vendors (this is an ad-supported site, so as noted in our Ch 1 reading, the viewer is advised to bear the possibility of manufacturer bias in mind if using this site for research purposes) and a forum where readers can share ideas and ask questions amongst themselves. All in all, Tom’s Hardware is an excellent resource for those looking into new hardware for personal or business use.
The main website address is http://www.tomshardware.com/.
