Editorial policy
Rankings on The Computer Manual are editorial. A payment, a swap or a gift never buys a numbered place in a comparison table. Affiliate links, when they appear, do not move a product up or down the list.
Every price in a guide should point at the vendor pricing page and the date we checked it. If a vendor hides pricing, we write that a quote is required. We do not copy prices from other review sites. We do not invent user counts, awards or test scores.
Writers may use drafting tools. Every fact, price and quote is checked by a person against a primary source before a guide is published. The byline is always The Computer Manual Editorial Team. We do not invent named experts or credentials.
We avoid topics our network treats as off limits, including gambling, alcohol, interest-bearing loans, adult content and dating. Money pages are reviewed at least every 45 days. Corrections are listed in the change log on the page and can be requested through contact.
