Example to read aloud — not a recorded result
“"Today I want to talk about something that's been bothering me about the way we benchmark laptops, which is — and I want to say this carefully because I don't want to come across as cynical — that the way most reviewers, including me until pretty recently, have been benchmarking laptops is mostly testing the chassis at full power for short bursts, when what most of us actually do with our laptops is run them at moderate load for hours at a time. — And those two things are not the same. A laptop that scores great in Cinebench R23 multi-core for 10 minutes might be the most uncomfortable laptop in the world to actually use for a four-hour writing session, because the cooling system that lets it hit those numbers is also the cooling system that's screaming at you the entire time. The single-burst-benchmark culture has been quietly making us recommend laptops that test well and live badly. — So today I'm going to walk through what I think is a more honest benchmark — I'm calling it the 'four-hour cafe test,' because that's literally what I do — and I'm going to run it across the four laptops sitting on this desk: the new MacBook Pro that just came out, the X1 Carbon I've been using for two years, the laptop that I think is the surprise winner of the last 12 months, and the laptop that I think is the most-overhyped one on YouTube right now. Let's get into it."”
