How so? I mean, I could imagine that they were reviewing computers on practical things that real-world users cared about, but maybe a tech enthusiast would find irrelevant.
- bluGill 6y agoI remember they rated the Atari (8 bit) computers a best buy. At the time I was an Atari fan and that how great it was. On hindsight, it was obvious even back then that the Atari was obsolete and the PC was where everyone was going for a reason. (though they could reasonably put mac/St/Amiga in the review, at least they were not obsolete) That would have been the mid-late 80s, but it set the tone for the time: rate something high because it was cheap not because it was the best for the job.
