The fixed, default width is wayyy too thin. You need to make it about 50% wider by default. I cannot be bothered setting it to fluid on every machine I own, every time I reset cookies!!!
Got a tip for us?

Overall, very nice. But the items on the sidebar are much bigger font-wise. Tone down the size of the fonts so I don't have to scroll so much and I will be very happy.
Yes, tremendously insightful.
Agreed. All it does is shows the fanboy divisions on both sides.
Wow, the web site shined up like a new penny! I like the clean yet crisp placement of information. Granted it is similar to the "old" sight, but it is a giant step in the right direction.

On the other hand when it isn't about a company vs a company and instead say something like a product refresh you can get the general opinion of what the majority think of said refresh.
It has its good and bad points.
Good Design, Nice Font Size
I like the new design. The increased white space makes the page less junky and makes it easier to scan the page to find things. The larger font size makes the text more readable for people who are over 24 or whose vision has been corrected only to 20/20. People with electron-microscope eyes won't like the fact that it isn't designed just for them, but they can and will still read it.
This is a smart move, because more people can actually read your site. That means increased traffic, and that means that you'll be able to charge more for ads. A feast for my eyes, and money for your pocket: win-win.

i especially like the new buyers guide, but one issue i've had for a while, why isn't the apple tv in the buyer's guide?
I like it. Though, I spend 99% of my time here in the forums and beside the header not much difference.
Ironically, the vote button is suited to this article more than most. To see how many do like new design vs who doesn't.
Personally, maybe a couple of tweaks here and there, but overall, very nice job
Well done
+ 1 now that is gone, i realize how often looked at it. Why? don't know really, maybe to get some instant feedback if something was hated or loved by the community.
Site looks clean. But the mouse overs are bit outdated IMHO
Overall, looks a million times better. Congrats to everyone involved. I was a fan of the voting system too though.
