A few weeks ago, we received a flyer from Consumer Reports containing the usual samples of their writing to entice us into subscribing again. Tempting but probably not until we’re really serious about getting a new car or TV. Even then I’m a bit skeptical when it comes to them with wheels; the writers tend to like vehicles one would need to race in Le Mans.
One thing I found amusing was a plug about electronics which made me feel giddy, elated and vindicated after spending over 10 years with AppleCare.
If you’ve read CR for the last 20 years, this is a huge compliment from the magazine because they’ve traditionally given Apple products mediocre ratings due to price and (my favorite) the lack of expandability for the iMac; never mind it’s an all-in-one system, not a traditional PC tower.
Still, this was a sweet little victory to counter those lameoid Laptop Hunter commercials.
