According to a study by RESCUECOM, a computer repair hotline, Asus Eee PC scored 416 in their tests, followed by Apple, IBM/Lenovo, Toshiba and HP/Compaq. The report was based on the percentage of computers each company shipped to the number of calls the RESCUECOM repair hotline received. While computer reliability pertains to the quality of the components and software used during the manufacture of the computers together with the post-sale support given by the manufacturers to their customers.
