Apple Drops To Fourth In Reliability Rating, Lenovo Leads The Pack
That $500 Apple laptop that cost you $1000 to buy might not be worth it after all, that after Rescuecom‘s computer reliability ratings survey revealed that Apple has fallen to fourth place despite strong showings in recent years.
In fact Lenovo scored so high that Apple couldn’t even halve the company’s score in comparison.
In second place on the reliability scale was Toshiba followed by Samsung in the third spot with a slightly higher rating then the world’s largest technology provider.
According to Rescuecom CEO David Milman:
“The comparatively smaller Toshiba and Samsung are illustrating interesting reliability trends worth watching over the coming year.”
Following just behind Apple was Asus and HP in fifth and sixth place.
In the meantime Apple could be losing out on reliability as the company continues to nickle and dime manufacturers such as FoxConn while attempting at the same time to create an ever increasing number of electronic devices for an Apple hungry worldwide population.
I personally had to switch back to a Windows 7 based PC after my 2 year old Macbook randomly shorted out when it wasn’t even plugged in, in the meantime my iPhone 4 thinks freezing is a normal part of it’s daily activity.
Do you think Apple products have lost quite a bit of their reliability luster over the last several years?

Yes! What Apple fans don't know, (or won't tell you) as they brag about customer service, is that on average they will have to send or bring their Mac in at least twice to three times the normal average in it's life time. And if they want to brag about the OS, it's no better then Windows 7.
Yes Apple is great,,, but not that great for the money you spend. I'm in the market myself for a new PC and I just cannot justify their cost. I don't live by hype or in cult status.
My choice has bee narrow down to HP or Lenovo, (and that being before I ever came across this report) with my leading towards Lenovo, it radiates quality build and at a 'fair price'.
