They haven't gotten a single unit in their hands yet, but they've already dinged it. WTF??

Consumer Reports dings Surface 2 ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

It is Windows 10S — the “S” stands for “Sh!t.”

They are right — no point in even evaluating a platform with no software that can run on it.

I bought a SB, saw Win 10S, then immediately shipped it back. Had I known about 10S, I would not have even bought it.

10S makes it a $2K doorstop.

Consumer Reports?

What about other with-it magazines like The Saturday Evening Post and The Police Gazette?

I haven’t paid any attention to the idiots at Consumer Reports for decades. I couldn’t have told whether they even still exist.

Assuming it comes with Windows 10, I wouldn’t recommend it either. </snark>

CR has become irrelevant to me. Now I am wondering if they were ever reliable, or if I merely fell for their marketing hype.

Looks like James Comey found a new job.

Our decision to withhold our recommendation of all Microsoft laptops and tablets is still in effect

To clarify:

We believe our customers too stupid to figure out Windows, so we recommend they let Apple do all the thinking for them. (Oh, but thank God Office is available on Macs, b/c our customers would be lost without it.)

Possible they found serious problems with the first model and have specs that indicate the next model hasn’t done enough to address the issues...
