Laptop Magazine finds several flaws with Consumer Reports ’ determination , the most important of which is a total lack of transparency : How in the world did they get at these ratings ? For example , the MacBook Air show up a execution evaluation of “ Good , ” but what does that signify ? The Air is n’t exactly an imposingly powerful laptop , and certainly its battery life leaves much to be desired , so how did it earn this paygrade ? No bench mark touchstone were numerate , and no explanation for the scores was give . Besides , CR also only test , in the 13 - inch category , six laptops , a full half of which were made by Apple .

Tech reviews certainly have an element of subjectivity , but Consumer Reports ’ status as the gold standard will fade chop-chop if they give way to excuse their ratings with the point their monolithic influence requires .
