Apple MacBooks top all Consumer Reports laptop categories

If you were wondering how good Apple’s MacBook line of portable computers are, the answer is simple — they are the top computer in every category on Consumer Reports.

Apple’s 11-inch MacBook Air scored a 62 out of 100 taking the top spot in the small laptop section. Scoring a 56, Gateway came in second while HP came in third with a 49.
The 13-inch model category was even worse for Apple’s competition. Apple’s 13-inch MacBook Pro took the top five of seven spots with Sony and Asus taking the final two.

The 15-inch category was much closer with Apple MacBook Pro taking the top three spots, but the competition did come in at just three points behind.

The 17-inch category was another big win for Apple. The MacBook Pro took the top two spots with the competition sharing the other six.

These Consumer Reports guys are so biased for Apple, they're just a bunch of hacks...

Definitely at the bottom, Apple is way over priced.

I don't put a lot of stock in what Consumer Reports says. They always rate Bose very highly and amongst the audiophile community (which I am not part of) people with a trained ear will always say that Bose stands for "Better off something Else".

I am typing this on a Macbook Pro so I am not anti-apple.

Bose like Apple has always been overrated and pricey....:thumb:

UHm, are you asking for the metric value-units per dollar or the old-fashioned imperial ones?

Consumer Reports WAS a good source years ago, but after reading some of their reports the past couple of years, I seriously laugh at their shit now and wonder exactly how much they're getting paid.
They praised a couple of LG products which were absolute CRAP, so ya.....

Consumer Reports showed their credibility when they said they "Couldn't recommend" the iPhone 4 because of Antennagate.
they instead gave the "recommended phone" to the iPhone 3GS and a paragraph later said the iPhone 4 was the best phone they have ever tested

wait, what????
yep very credible unbiased publication lmao
