You're completing ignoring the advice I gave. 3.6k reviews is nothing.

But if you visit the page for the product's category:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/bestsellers/computers/430578031/...

You see the #1 option has 36K+ reviews. Looks pretty solid to me.

Yes, you can purchase pages and change the product, it's a known scam that I agree Amazon should crack down on. That still doesn't change the fact that there are super-popular items that are usually way better than what you can purchase locally.



I didn’t ignore the advice - I showed a link to a popular product that has thousands of almost perfect ratings that is readily available on amazon.

An even better way to do it is don’t use Amazon for discovery, and only buy stuff you’ve researched off the site. But walking into Amazon to buy something is just as likely to land you with crap as going into your local shop and doing so.
