The other day I was browsing the Internet for a netbook. I wanted to get a nice one for my daughter. However, I was completely defeated by the range of different makes & models. Not that I am computer illiterate, but come on, you have to admit that some of the techs on those things can be quite tricky. Anyway, I tried to find a good review site or test site that would recommend a good netbook. It was very difficult to find one. Before I did, I had bumped into numerous online stores & other promotional sites. And then it hit me- am I alone in this space? There must be thousands of people like out there trying to find an honest review so they could choose the best suitable product for them. I don't know about you but I get really frustrated if I buy something what turns out to be real crap. I'm talking losing-sleep-can't-eat frustrated. And whenever I'm faced with procedures and complexity of returns, I feel like I don't have a will to live anymore. That is why the honesty & objectivity is of utmost importance in my reviews.

As a reviewer I am compensated by the companies whose products I recommend. For the site to be totally unbiased, I also post my reader's reviews, positive or negative, so make sure to read them as well. Readers' opinions & mine may vary.

I would love to hear from you if you purchase one of the reviewed products. Please send me your objective opinion to matthew.goode@retiredteachersreviews.com and I will post it to my website. Thanks.
