You have to look multi sources, I believe there is no single source can
provide you all the info you need to know.

For performance, look around places like www.tomshardware.com or
www.anandtech.com, www.hardOCP.com

Also, you need to keep an eye on forums around, there you can find more real
life experience and real life problems, and will give you fair good idea on
support & reliability (don't be surprised if you found out your "trusted"
brand turned to be something you never think of), such info you can't
normally find from review site.

I've already found that some magazines LIE on purpose, or don't know what
they are doing, same thing you have to keep in mind that some websites
usually lie. General speaking, website has more up to date info.
