Companies rely on reviews to stand out from the pack. But some
companies write or use fake reviews — about both how great their
thing is, and how terrible their competitor is. In fact, some people
have turned fake review writing into an online business by offering to
write positive reviews.

Totally fair. In general, that's probably pretty good advice.
But NewEgg *specifically* seems to be pretty realistic and accurate. If
you read the reviews, folks are pretty straight up about their tech
purchases. And the reviews are tagged as verified owners where appropriate.
YMMV, of course, but my experience with *this specific vendor* has been
pretty good. The reviews are realistic, seem to be accurate, etc.
