Laptop Malfunction Rates by Manufacturer
A study of more than 30,000 laptops and netbooks has revealed which laptops are the most dependable and which one has a projected failure rate of 25%.
New data from SquareTrade (one of the bigger warranty providers) says Asus and Toshiba have the least hardware malfunctions over 3 years, while one-in-four HP laptops are projected to experience problems. Oh, and crappy netbooks are worst of all.
