Not to mention that most so called "Reviews" these days are just a rote listing of the products features from company press releases.

I can't count the number of laptop / smartphone reviews I've seen the last couple of years that don't even contain a single benchmark. The extent of the actual "reviewing" that takes place is some glib anecdote about how "there didn't seem to be much noticeable lag" or some other contrite BS.

I hate this race to the bottom of the customers presumed intelligence.
