Comparably, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stiftung_Warentest has extremely high trust among the German public.

Yes, every tech nerd is mocking their PC tests, because they are just like a vaccuum cleaner test: unbox, set-up, do mainstream stuff, like writing mails and Word documents. No discussion of GDDR5 vs. GDDR4 or such nonsense.

It's a fantastic resource when you don't know what to look for (until today you never had any use for the tool you now consider buying) and it's not tech (then I tend to look to Wirecutter, for all its faults and controversies).

That still sounds like a useful test, if only to punish bundling of useless bloatware.
