Well, to be fair, Gruber is writing a love story here, not really an unbiased review. So, no, he doesn't blow away the other reviews, (As an unbiased review, Mossberg's is pretty good) but, for us lovers of all things Apple, his is the review we look for to give us that dopamine rush of reinforced sense of self worth from using Apple products.
I've been hitting refresh every five minutes on daringfireball since 7:00.
Note - I think his is the most well written of all the writeups so far. He put a lot of effort into this essay. I wish he did more like these, though I realize it must take a lot out of him.
He also demonstrates a bit of useful insight/balance here, that you wouldn't expect from what should be a purely apple-biased review, e.g. from the section on displays "Apple has a lead here, which is interesting, because they buy these displays from companies like LG."

- cooldeal 14y agoThis is not the Onion either, though it's easy to be mistaken. http://www.tuaw.com/2011/05/17/bbc-loving-apple-looks-like-a-religion-to-an-mri-scan/ http://www.tuaw.com/2011/05/17/bbc-loving-apple-looks-like-a...
- josteink 14y agoIt may seem Onionesqsue, but The Gruber-worshipping part of the Apple-sphere really suffers problems this deep.
