At a 50% premium this would be considered unacceptable. At a greater than 50% this is a scam.

Why didn’t you post this?

While I am not a fan of iPple, I wouldn’t trust Consumer Reports as the magazine stands to day to competently compare toothpicks.

Just got mine, battery life so far good, really like the touch bar and touch-id. Voice-over is a bit iffy in my testing but that is part of the leaning curve (I hope)!

Apple gear has always been 3 year old technology packaged in a shiny case at 3x markup

Consumer Reports doesn't like the battery life on the new MacBook Pro while running Safari so they did not recommend it. . . And feign that this is the first time they have not recommended an Apple computer. It isn't. — PING!

Thanks to ImJustAnotherOkie for the Posting and heads up.

CR is a joke of a mag. They’ve never been agnostic.

Fact is, the best computer products I know have routinely not been given the best review by CR. Never in my 30+ year career have I or anyone I know used CR as a basis for product selection.

For this crappy article, and I am not fan of Apple, I give it the Certified Not News stamp.

I don’t know what a “dongle” is, but it sounds vaguely pornographic.

Worst car I ever bought was a top-recommended car from Consumer Reports.

I still wake up after dreaming of setting it on fire on the side of Central Expressway in Dallas. I'm smiling.

I have my complaints about Apple’s hardware and design choices, but this specific battery thing sounds like software optimization issue. That can probably be corrected.

I do wish they would stop all efforts to thin their products any more. Enough already. Everything is skinny enough! Let’s leave some room for battery and ports that people need ;)

Does it still have the magnetic chinese rice-cooker plug that was on all models of chinese rice cookers long before apple pretended they invented it?
