I copied and pasted (never tested) from the first table that shows up in the Laptop Mag “review” linked in the article you posted. It demonstrated that of the three devices did not all receive the same tests, not they were not tested at all. This indicated that this was not an actual comparison review. The “reviewers” did not even bother to get all three devices for a side by side comparison. They relied on “reviews” from third parties.

All three of those devices, the iPad Pro, the Dell XPS 13 9370. and the Samsung Galaxy Book 2 have undergone Geekbench 4 testing. . . whether or not YOU can find the relevant testing for each device or not.

I linked you to the charts showing you those results. Geekbench is a standard test designed for comparisons across platforms and does NOT require repetitive, side-by-side testing each time a reviewer writes a review of another device. THEY DO NOT CHANGE BETWEEN TESTS OR REVIEWS! They are considered reliable across tests, reviews, and reporters, especially with such organizations with reputations such as Tom's Guide and Laptop Magazine.

You are the thread troll here, fireman15, making a mountain out of some insignificant molehill that you've concocted in your own mind, creating a need for reviewers to duplicate and replicate again already existing tests of every device they compare or mention in the review of a new item. That is why you are delusional.

It is not a proper comparison or review if the one’s writing it do not physically handle the devices. It is exactly the same as reading a comparison review of various automobiles based on their specs and not hands on driving. I am not saying even that does not happen, but it would not be wise to base a purchase decision based on this type of comparison.

And as you are well aware the various “bench testing” programs can come up with different results even on the same device. The overall scores given by Laptop Mag are not based exclusively on a device’s benchmark scores; the results of the various other tests and measures are important... in some cases more important than the benchmarks.

I don’t believe for a second that you need this type of schooling. I mention this because your insult filled posts seem carefully written with the intent to deceive others. You are obviously not trying to win an argument with me because we have had similar conversations in the past and you are well aware of my experience level. I assume that you are grandstanding for others that you assume are following this thread who you believe do not understand the difference between real reviews and the marketing hype that you so often like to call attention to here.
