General information, not professional advice

The content on US Computer is provided for general informational and educational purposes about buying, building, fixing, upgrading, and maintaining computers. It is not professional, technical, financial, or legal advice, and it is not a guarantee of any particular result. Computer needs and situations vary, so while we aim to give sound, practical guidance, you should use your own judgment and, where appropriate, consult a qualified professional, such as a trustworthy repair technician, for help with your specific machine or circumstances.

We work to keep the information here accurate, clear, and evergreen, but technology changes constantly and we make no warranty that everything is complete, current, or error-free at the time you read it. Any actions you take based on the guidance here are your own responsibility. Where a topic involves risk, such as opening or modifying hardware, we encourage caution and, when in doubt, professional help, since we cannot account for the specifics of your individual computer or situation.

Independence and no fabricated data

US Computer is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any computer manufacturer or retailer. We strive to be vendor-neutral and do not rank or favor specific brands. Any brand, product category, or operating system mentioned is referenced generically for explanation, not as an endorsement. Our goal is honest, useful guidance based on how computers work, not on promoting any particular company's products, and that independence is something we maintain deliberately.

We deliberately do not publish specific prices, exact model or SKU numbers, benchmark figures, star ratings, or sales statistics, because these change constantly and presenting them would imply a precision we cannot honestly guarantee. We speak qualitatively instead. This means you must verify current specifications, prices, availability, and compatibility directly with the retailer or manufacturer before making any purchase, since the authoritative, up-to-date details live there. Treat our guides as a framework for thinking, and confirm the specifics on the actual product page.

Outbound links and affiliate disclosure

This site may contain links to external websites, including retailers, and some of those outbound links may be affiliate links, meaning we could earn a commission if you make a purchase through them, at no additional cost to you. We disclose this plainly because transparency matters. Importantly, the presence of affiliate links does not change our guidance: we do not fabricate reviews, prices, or recommendations to drive sales, and our content stays vendor-neutral regardless of any link.

We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, pricing, availability, or practices of external websites we link to, which operate under their own terms and policies. When you follow a link to a retailer or other site, you are subject to that site's terms and privacy practices, not ours. Always verify current prices, specifications, and compatibility on the destination site before purchasing, and review that site's policies. Our linking to a site is not an endorsement of everything on it, but a pointer to a resource that may be useful.
