There is definitely a disconnect between CNET editors’ views and what the user community seems to want (mostly in terms of how important low weight is, I think).

Of course, people who actually buy a product are more likely than the average person to _want_ that product (they bought it, after all). They know before they buy it how much it weighs and that the screen has very poor viewing from wide angles, so maybe those things don’t mean as much to them.

So it looks like the pattern is: if you think you want a Tecra M4, you’ll love it, no regrets.
