My first hardware review for my computer site is going to be this case - http://www.apevia.com/product.php?pid=146&xcSID=75f2ecbfed5038bc2df37fbc8a6e9dca Can I copy and paste that spec list, or will I get penalized for duplicate content? I tried taking a screenshot of it, and then inserting it into my site, but it's too big. And when I resize it, you can't read the text.
You only need to be concered about dup content if the "whole page" or most of the pages contents are the same. So for you specs I would not be concerned. It think when the dup content gets up around the 50%-60% mark then it becomes an issue.
Copying the specs should be fine if you add a few paragraphs of your own content (and that should be easy if you are writing a review).
