| 759361 | 2009-03-25 04:19:00 | Based on data from computer repair and support company Rescuecom, there’s been a slight shuffle at which company produces the least troublesome computers. At the end of 2008, Apple had secured the lead with the fewest number of service calls, but has since been overtaken by Asus. Rescuecom calculated PC reliability scores based on a sample of over 15,000 servce calls throughout the quarter. Manufacturer U.S. Computer Market Share (percentage of computers shipped) RESCUECOM Repair Shares (number of service calls to 1-800-RESCUE-PC) Reliability score Asus 1.6% 0.2% 927 Lenovo 4.1% 1.2% 348 Apple 6.8% 2.1% 324 Toshiba 5.8% 3.4% 172 Acer 12% 8% 151 HP/Compaq 25.3% 17.9% 14 |

| 759363 | 2009-03-25 04:53:00 | OMG Where does home built fit into those figures? I think mine is reliable:-) My Laptop is Lenovo so at least I get on the list, although I will probably replace it soon with a MacBook Pro. Bring back WMG for good Mac Help:-) |

I would say its laptops. Personal Computer just means a home computer. ASUS don't make desktops. And yes, its whats in them........ASUS funnily enough use ASUS motherboards....... |
