Asus laptops are more reliable than Acer
Report by Squaretrade shows Asus and Toshiba top of the reliability-pile. Dell's in the middle, and HP is in the doghouse, with one in four laptops malfunctioning within three years.
Mind you, Asus' failure rate is 15% (over three years) which I thought was shockingly high. Just shows how little I know about these things.
