Graphic 4 in the review from Laptop Magazine shows that they had not yet tested the Dell XPS 13 using Geekbench 4.

Laptop Magazine ALWAYS does a Geekbench 4 test in their reviews and they did for this Dell XPS 13 (2018) review as well. You just didn't find it. How do you think they found the 14,180 score?


The iPad Pro got 4.5 stars in the review by the way... not exactly stellar.

4.5 stars is very high, fireman15. The only better rating is five full stars, which requires NO NEGATIVES in the review. You don't find perfect five star reviews. You're really stretching denigrating a 4.5 star rating.

Maybe you could go ahead and provide us all with the URL of the graphic that you just linked to... Because strangely missing in it is the Apple iPad Pro. Lets see what does this indicate? Oh yeah, that it wasn't part of the review of the Apple iPad Pro that we have been discussing! You are such a shameless scallywag.

Maybe you can tell us, because if you go to the Geekbench website a current Dell XPS 13, the 9370 model with the current Core i7 has scores all the way past 18,000 which is marginally faster than the numbers claimed in the Laptop Magazine review that we supposedly have been discussing.

I have repeated in every post that the new iPad Pro is an impressive achievement for Apple. I object only to your attempts to use a somewhat misleading review in misleading ways. Once again Apple has released a device that is impressive but not truly groundbreaking. As we have discussed many times previously this is a pattern for Apple from the first iPhone.

Apple is the most successful marketer in the history of the world. They are not the most innovative company in the history of the world. Typically, others like Dell, or HTC, and even Samsung come up with truly innovative products; Apple copies them and adds some interesting but predictable refinements and calls their evolutionary product a revolutionary product. Then a choir of fanboys and girls start singing the same tune. Time goes on and on but the pattern remains the same.

Gosh should I believe you or my lying eyes? What about the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon? What was the rating from Laptop Mag again... Oh yeah 5 stars!
