In Reply to: Part of the problem is that they (reviewers) are in desperate need of a real reference. posted by carcass93 on October 14, 2014 at 13:00:48:
"It's pretty clear by now that their "reference" computer transports - pretty much uniformly Macs - are not much of a reference. When your "reference" is consistently beaten by the item under review, it's probably time to ditch it - in favor of one of those items, for instance."
More of a point of reference than an absolute reference... The point is to stay somewhat mainstream so most can relate properly to the review. Most of the attractive commercial boxes are much just like Mr.T says can be duplicated for very little $$ with a small Linux device. Common sense for some here, but not all.
