I know how to use a product before buying it
When I decide to buy a tech product or gadget, I know how to use it even before ordering or ever having held it in my hands.
How? As a side effect of researching the product.
To learn more, I download the manual or visit the documentation website and read it in full. Reviews, unboxing videos on YouTube, blog posts, and Reddit discussions are other valuable sources of information and tips.
By the time the product is in my hands, I know how to operate and find my way around it. Reading the manual also gives a heads up on any required setup steps, data I need to gather, decisions to make, handling precautions, usage quirks, and useful features.
This knowledge saves time when I want to get up to speed with a new gadget.
