That's a pretty high rate of failure for Dells and HPs. I
always knew Toshiba, Sony and ASUS to make good quality
products. I have told these Mac zealots that Apple is no more
reliable than the next computer but they keep saying it. To be
honest, the computers I've built have a much lower rate of
failure than these from the big companies. My usual failure rate
is 10% after four years. Usually it's a HD or DVD/CD drive. Then
it's usually due to heavy use. But that was then, now I rarely
build whole systems from the ground up. Mostly I do upgrades and
repair the software problems.

How many notebooks do you build? You do realize this was talking about
notebooks?
