>>everybody's individual case is an anecdote. you had a good experience (although you turn a blind eye to the defective battery and don't include it in your assessment of Apple's products, even though it is an important part of their products); i have had a bad experience (actually many). big deal. << Wyatt - Actually, he did include the defective battery in his assessment. If he hadn't, how would you know about it? I agree that the CR survey is a more accurate assessment of reliability than anecdotal evidence, but I also think that things like massive battery recalls, which can have a huge detrimental effect on averages within a large survey, are NOT the fault of the company that buys those batteries and puts them in their products. Battery recalls are properly blamed on the battery maker. Since Sony made so many defective batteries for so many different computer companies, they probably negatively affected a lot of the averages. But one would need more information to know which companies' averages were affected more. - Allen
