Board/CPU reviews....

[bharatwaja]

I was seriously wondering....

The manufacturers send reviewers boards/CPUs/tons of other products to review,
after the reviews do they have to return the products or can they keep them???

Normally, they return them after a few weeks or a month. The manufacturers often have "review models" that get shipped from reviewer to reviewer. On the bad side, this sometimes can mean that reviewers are reviewing specially selected/tweaked items.
