The "Verified Purchaser" tag is just so that people know the reviewer actually received and ideally evaluated an actual unit, as opposed to a sockpuppet review.

The "Verified Purchaser" tag is just so that people know the reviewer actually received and ideally evaluated an actual unit, as opposed to a sockpuppet review. What's your issue with his review? He actually reviewed the actual units, compared them to the specs, and gave his professional opinion. All in a place where it can do the most good, as opposed to posted to some defunct Google blog.

Benson Leung's reviews aren't the ones including the disclaimer; he probably is spending his own (or Google's) money to actually purchase the products. This is different from the astroturfing spammers whose reviews are tagged as "Verified Purchaser" but the text of the reviews shows that they didn't have to actually purchase the product. Those spam reviews are rarely anything but vacuous and are certainly not professional opinions in the same sense as Benson Leung's.
