Apple laptops have proved less reliable than ASUS products

The American service company SquareTrade conducted a comparative study reliability and duration of the laptops from nine different manufacturers. It turned out that laptops MacBook and MacBook Pro took fourth place in the list. They gave way to ASUS, Toshiba and Sony, ahead of Acer, Lenovo, Dell and others.

In total, the study examined nearly 30,000 laptops and SquareTrade team proved that, on average, a laptop running two or three years, before leaving the building. So, Apple's case a little over 10% of laptops after two years of operation out of order for some reason or other. If you take a longer cycle, for three years, the percentage of failures in the work at the MacBook / Pro increases to 17.4%. Projected percentage breakdowns in ASUS theory was 15.6%, and Toshiba and Sony - 15,7% and 16,8% respectively. Behind Apple were manufacturers such as Dell, Lenovo, Acer, Gateway and HP.

It is known that the duration of "life cycle" of laptops basically is just two or three years, because they are more fragile and more susceptible to high loads due to its portability. Jobs once said that Apple's team can not make a quality laptop for less than $ 500. Perhaps this is why Apple does not talk about is cheap netbooks.

True consumers themselves more satisfaction get it from buying Mac (according to Consumer Report report):

I have over the past three years has worked with Dell, HP, Acer and Apple. Only Apple could make a normal computer, no logos pasted family, that does not have a dozen third-party applications (toolbars, antivirus, software warranty extension, etc.). And the only problem faced by - is a swelling in the white MacBook battery in the third year of his life.
