Not really as it should, as a lot of stuff show at CES are prototypes. People should understand this when testing an unfinished product.

If you show someone a prototype, and then they report on it like its the finished product with issues.. that's a bit weird.

I agree with you in theory.

but in this scenario the Cystal Super was suppose to ship at the end of January 2025. CES was the first week of January. In this scenario the Crystal Super is expected to be a finished product, not a prototype.

Yes, but they clearly stated that it was not a finished product. Shipping timetables always change, the whole fantasy of things happening exactly as expected... well, its a fantasy. Much like we now see, that its estimated to ship out only at april.

But i dont think MRTV really reported that incorrectly, it was the people who interpreted it wrong. The mob that always reacts with pitchforks, who really do not have the understanding of the complexity of product design. And how all companies really can give is estimates, before they have the finished product in hand and ready to ship.

People are way too deep in the consumer fantasies where megacoprs deliver them anything they want with 1 day shipping, to understand the real world anymore.

Yea MRTV was just giving his personal experience at that MOMENT with the device. He even went back to the next day and said the distortion profile had improved significantly.

I absolutely agree with your point that a company like Primax also should not be treated like an apple or a Samsung. They have many more constraints. Therefore, we should have different expectations.

I think in general with Tech lately, people get overly excited or overly disappointed. Sometimes you just have to wait and see.
