Right. Average MB Air users don’t merely email, or do only what chrome books do. They use all of these apps and more. Reviews should focus on these, coupled with speed and battery life when you use them. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@hmpsnlssn @gruber @MKBHD @benlovejoy @JoannaStern I completely agree. And, while using these apps, speed and battery life. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

I assure you that only a tiny % of MB Air owners use Final Cut, Premiere, Logic and the like. In fact, even Photoshop is a stretch for most mainstream users (most use the built in photo editor.) So basing a review of the Air on how it handles these apps isn’t useful for most. — PolitiTweet.org

@BillPatenaudeRI @RhodeIslandRT I’m also a native Rhode Islander and remember Victory Day well. My Dad also served in the Navy in the Pacific during WWII, as a torpedo operator on a PT boat. https://t.co/77S0Y87xbi — PolitiTweet.org

@ronscompvids No, reviews of tech products aimed at mainstream users are different from reviews of tech products aimed at pros. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattmoniz @superscientific @MKBHD @raywongy Reviewers shouldn’t test performance on tasks the intended users of a consumer class device like the MB Air rarely do. They should focus on overall speed and battery life for a mix of representative real-world tasks these prospective buyers typically perform. — PolitiTweet.org

@reckless I have owned three houses and none of them has wasted any space on garages. Our cars have done just fine being parked outside, even in the winter snows. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@swest6602 Yes, if it’s a consumer laptop vs a pro laptop. The review should be aimed at the likely user of the type of machine you’re reviewing, not techie benchmarks or tasks rarely performed on consumer laptops. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

This is 100% correct, and it’s not just on YouTube. I’m amazed that many reviewers now evaluate consumer laptops from the perspective of their own niche workflows, like heavy video and audio editing, and not from what most consumers actually do with their devices. — PolitiTweet.org
