    I'm surprised at both CNET and the fact that 8.1 got an Editor's Choice.

    I agree that the MacBook Pro deserves Editor's Choice, but I'm surprised that if CNET only gave it a 8.1, that they were willing to give it an Editor's Choice.

    Then again, CNET rarely ever gives out higher than 8.5s anymore.

    Good job Apple!

    Yeah the only thing higher than 8.5 was a 9.0 for the San Disk Titanium flash drive. Maybe because it survived being run over by a, Civic? I believe. That was the last 9.0 I saw coming from Cnet.

    OK, should we start a thread “who’s been stupid enough to forgo and Apple Mac for something else ..”?

    Well, I get some consolation from planning my next notebook which hopefully will be a Mac.

    Okay, so the 15inch MBP, 17inch MBP, and the MB are all Editors Choices. Good job Apple.

    So are the MacPro, iMac, and Mac Mini. SO everything Apple has is Editors Choice.
