There's an ongoing buzz created by a new study published by Square Trade regarding netbooks and notebooks reliability. The study revealed that budget-friendly notebooks and netbooks from Acer, Lenovo and HP are bound to breakdown faster than those machines created by ASUS and other brands. In addition, notebooks/netbooks manufactured by Toshiba, Sony and Apple did pretty well than their rival companies.
Highlights of the study centered on three points – 3 year malfunction rate per notebook/netbook brands, first year malfunction rate comparison between notebooks, netbooks and premium laptops and malfucntion rate by price.
In brief here's what the study revealed:
- HP branded notebooks/netbooks are most likely to fail within three years, while ASUS is the less likely to malfunction
- Netbooks are most likely to fail than regular notebooks and premium laptops which is the less likely to malfunction one year upon purchase.
- Obviously, netbooks are most likely to malfunction than premium priced laptops
