it depends on what is available and how well people know the product.

with regards product reviews on this forum, it would be a good idea to build a 
review describing the product from both a physical side in terms of locations 
of any components, interfaces, etc, then focusing on product features, what the 
product can and cannot do. within this, I find the best way to review a product 
is to break it into sections. These would include Pro's & Con's, what the 
product is designed to do, give info of the manufacturer, etc.

a good review on this forum actually stands out when any user is looking for 
this kind of product, or any product that is relevant to our cause.

whether it's software or hardware, the manufacturers or developers rely on our 
feedback, either directly or third party so they know where to go from there.

I hope my pointers help where possible.
