I'm thinking of buying a laptop, and find that at sites like CNET, the editors and users often disagree wildly. I haven't found a place that reviews laptops that can sort reviews by the users' rankings. I tried amazon, but their "sort by average customer review" doesn't work. Which sites do you like?

I'm planning a road trip. Cheap motels vary wildly in quality, so it's helpful if they've been reviewed by other visitors. Where's the best site to find reliable reviews? I've checked Yahoo Travel and Tripadvisor, but I get suspicious when I see a string of five-star reviews that seem to have been written by the same person.

Has anyone ever flown Zoom Airlines for a transatlantic (or other long) flight? I had never heard of them until recently, and the reviews online aren't very good. This is probably due to the fact that disgruntled people take it to the Internet, so I'd like to know of your experiences, good or bad. [more inside]

I was recently asked to review/rate some new cycling products (frames, pedals, saddles, etc...) for my friend's blog and I'm trying to figure out a good set of overall criteria to base the reviews on. Something like this: Criteria 01 Criteria 02 Criteria 03 Criteria 04 Overall Score Any suggestions as to what I can base my reviews on? I was thinking build quality might be one good criteria, but I'm struggling for more.

I've been leading a sales team for about a year now in NY and I'm about to have my review. We've been beating targets and just actually beaten the other team in the firm to win the whole year. Great. Or so you might think. I have a boss who seems to think a 'thanks' and pat on the back are reward enough for this. Which would be fine, but for 12 months I haven't been paid any more money for playing my part in running the team. I'm concerned that the boss will think this is acceptable for the coming year as well. [more inside]

Why do so many (newspaper, magazine, mainly non-fiction) book reviews spend most of their space recapping the book's content rather than commenting on the quality of the writing and insight? For instance, this WaPo via Mercury News review of a new PG Wodehouse biography uses the first third to relate a single, albeit significant, incident from his life. Maybe three paragraphs total of reviewer commentary. Why?

How do small product review sites get a hold of all the products they review? For example, does DCResource actually spend $1599 in order to write this review? I understand that well-known media sources like CNET or Tom's Hardware Guide can get manufacturers to ship them evaluation units (to be returned after writing a review). But how do you go about getting to that point? And is there an on-the-cheap way of doing it without getting the manufacturer's help? A retail store with a realllly forgiving return policy, for example?
