It sort of reminds me of the posts that John Gruber has been making pointing out the differences in laptop review between pcs and macs. They get reviewed on entirely different scales. Here’s a quote from the verge:
“For one, I only averaged three hours and 35 minutes of battery life, which would be a big problem even if everything else about this device was incredible. But even while on power, I could feel the thing chugging toward the higher end of my workload. For example, while I was operating a second screen over Thunderbolt, loading some files from external drives, running a few downloads, and trying to work over that in 20-ish Chrome tabs, the Latitude had visible slowdown. I don’t see this as an unrealistic office workload, so that’s concerning.”
It’s like what year is this that a laptop like that doesn’t get a 0/10 review?
- GoldenRacer 4y agoHow is that review an example that PCs and Macs are reviewed on a different scale? She gave the latitude a score of 4/10 which on her scale is considered "mediocre - has multiple outstanding issues" which sounds accurate (0/10 isn't an option on her scale so it literally couldn't have received that). Meanwhile she gave the MacBook pro a score of 9.5/10 halfway between "nearly perfect" and "the best of the best". Sounds like she used the same scale to me.
