Laptop Reliability Test According to Manufacturer

(Via Gizmodo Via SquareTrade)

Now this is interesting. The picture below describe the failure rate of laptops according to their manufacturer.

Missing from the list (Famous brand that I can think of) includes Samsung (Mine!!) and Fujitsu. Asus is the most reliable laptop, which is not really that surprising due to their off-the-shelf 2 years warranty, followed closely by Toshiba, Sony and Apple.
Worst on the list includes HP, Gateway and Acer. Lenovo, with the once-famous-IBM Thinkpad, seems to do quite badly, being behind of even Dell, which I had found to be most problematic during my 4 years life in university. Surprisingly, Dell perform better than I have expected. I thought it would be somewhere near Acer.

So if you are buying a new laptop (or I would cutely call it lappy), get Asus and Toshiba, or Apple and Sony if you always have cash to burn. Really.
