While there are various factors for purchasing a portable (such as speed, portability, design, and looks), one would probably have wondered what brand is the most reliable. RescueCom, a popular computer repair and support company in the US, gives us an idea of what brands are the most reliable, at least for 2Q 2009:
Brand (Computer Reliability Score):
- Asus (416)
- Apple (394)
- IBM/Lenovo (314)
- Toshiba (218)
- HP/Compaq (142)
Computer Reliability is based on two key measures, including the quality of the components and software that's used in manufacturing the computer, and the post-sale support that's provided by the manufacturer to its customers. The higher the score, the greater the reliability of the brand. [RescueCom]
So, if you just can’t decide what brand of portable to get on your next purchase, maybe the reliability factor can help.
