I find the note on laptop reliability vs desktop reliability rather surprising...
I've always assumed that laptop components run in a hotter environment - because cooling is a tough problem in a small device. Apparently that doesn't affect reliability at all?
It would have ofcourse also be interesting to know how particular brands / models did better in terms of reliability. I guess there are legal problems with releasing that kind of info?
- jemka 14y agoI guess there are legal problems with releasing that kind of info? Perhaps legality was a concern, but more importantly is the quality of the information. If I buy a Dell Model X and upgrade the components is it still a Dell Model X? Tracking the individual configurations of each manufacturer's models and identifying upgrades would be a tall order if not bordering on impossible.
