This is what I see sometimes on Newegg reviews. I see a product and I see what it's advertised to do/be. Every so often I'll come across a review that says the product didn't do such and such, however, that product is not advertised to do what that reviewer is claiming. Take for example unlocking a triple core processor to a quad core processor. There's reviewers that will actually deduct eggs because they couldn't unlock the 4th core. The thing is, they are judging something that isn't a guarantee, something that isn't advertised, and something that the manufacturer of that product doesn't claim that product performs. See this page for an example:

Here's my advice to these people: If you ABSOLUTELY need to have a quad core processor, then just buy a quad core processor. Don't buy a triple core processor and then make deductions on the review because you couldn't unlock the 4th core. AMD claims it as a triple core processor, therefore it should be reviewed as a triple core processor. Unlocking the 4th core is considered a bonus. If you get it, great. If you don't, well hey, you tried, but it didn't work out and a triple core should still be acceptable. If it's not acceptable, you shouldn't have bought it. You should have bought a quad core. If I see someone complain about not being able to unlock a core, to me, that person is not a qualified reviewer.
Unlocking cores is just one example. There's also other products where reviewers make deductions when that product wasn't advertised to do what they're complaining about. I would like to know your opinions about reviews where a complaint is made about something that isn't claimed or advertised. Thanks.
