Consumer Reports did a survey with over 75,000 respondents that shows Apple laptops have worse reliability than Lenovo. I really doubt Consumer Reports on this. In my experience, MacBook Pro, Intel iMac, PowerBook, iBook all here. Remote son #1 MacBook Pro, MacBook, Old G4 tower; remote son #2 MacBook. No problems with hardware in any of them. Have had battery recalls however and a swelling battery in my MacBook Pro caused the battery power to disconnect and shut off the computer until the battery cooled down. Battery was replaced in a day.

you've got to be kidding Wyatt. Consumer reports is for vacuums and household appliances. For computers there are market research firms like Gartner and Forrester that publish quality rankings on all the CMs. These are what executives use to decide whether to use Quanta or Hon Hai etc, so they are quite accurate. Consumer Reports did a survey with over 75,000 respondents that shows Apple laptops have worse reliability than Lenovo. Hahah. According to information by iSuppli, 61.32 million PCs and laptops were sold worldwide in the 2nd quarter 2007.
