How to Get the Best Deal for Electronic Gadgets

Gary North

Before you buy any electronic gadget, do some comparison shopping.

I start with C/net. I use Google to type in the product line I am interested in. Then I add "review" and "cnet."

I like C/Net's reviews. They are reliable. They sometimes give a brief video introduction to a product.

Another outfit that I use is Epinions. These are users' evaluations. You get warned if a buyer has had problems.

Consumer Reports has an on-line division. This is subscription-based, but it's good.
