  • Consumer Reports now recommends MacBook Pro after Apple software fix

    jdiamondAppleInsiderjdiamondAppleInsider
    I cannot agree more with the consensus that this was not a representative way to measure battery performance.  But it sounds like consumer reports has done this for ALL laptops, disabling the browser cache, not as a way to measure real world battery use during browsing, but as a way to use up the battery in a comparable way across all systems.  

    So while I agree that default browser settings on each platform make sense, then it also is only fair for CR to go back and test all the OTHER laptops with their browser caches enabled - then all of them will also show much longer battery life.

    The bottom line is Apple was NOT singled out in approach, so the real fix is to change it for everyone.
