[Richard Esplin]

A few years ago SquareTrade, who is a 3rd party warranty provider,  published their results on laptop reliability over a three year period. Summary is that all manufacturers were bad. Within three years 1 in 3 laptops failed and even the best manufacturers had a failure rate of 1 in 10.
