/g/ completely and utterly BTFO.

https://www.thurrott.com/mobile/microsoft-surface/132728/consumer-reports-microsoft-surface-dead-last-reliability

CR says that Apple computers have the lowest breakage rate after 2 years of use. Microshit has the highest. Lenovo and their ChinkPads have 110% higher breakage rate.

Moral of the story? Never trust /g/ shills.

at the first glance you can tell this graph is bullshit.

Wish they broke that down per product range, rather than per brand.

Dell and Lenovo make mostly shitty $300 cunsumer crap.

Doesn't sat much about XPS or Thinkpad ranges.

How the fuck does a computer break after 2 years
>>
>>61852973
That's because apple users don't even know when their shit is broken. In all honesty everyone I've seen with an iPhone uses a broken one.

thats because people throw away the other pcs when it breaks instead of servicing it

my fucking god, the point went over your head like a fucking turtle and you still missed it

no wonder you're fixing pc for a living with that level of intelligence

Actually, Acer stuff tend to break AFTER the 2nd year, not WITHIN the 2nd year.
>>
>>61853511
Probably because MS is new at making hardware?

Microsoft designs the stuff, Foxconn etc make it.
Besides, I have a Microsoft Z-80 card for the Apple II. Made in 1980. Microsoft are not new at hardware.

I really wonder if some brands are more or less likely to be physically treated like shit ≈ more likely to break.
>>
>>61852973
I'd be interested to know how the Lenovo stats break down between the traditional Thinkpads (Txxx/Xxx/Pxx) lines and their other models.
>>
>>61868006
ThinkPads probably break less although I had a ThinkPad Twist die on me in 2014 after approximately 14 months of use.
>>
>>61868116
>2-in-1
That's why I was specifically talking about their traditional workhorse lines. If the shape of the six year old T420 I'm currently using is anything to go by, they survive regular wear and tear like nothing else I've seen before.
>>
>>61868006
>traditional Thinkpads
those don't exist anymore anon.
>>
>>61868688
They're not quite the T60, but a modern T470 isn't half bad.

Consumer Reports said in one of its Surface recaps:

Apple stands out as being the most reliable laptop brand. Microsoft, on the other hand, is less reliable than most other brands. Due to its comparatively higher breakage rate, Microsoft laptops cannot be recommended by Consumer Reports at this time.

These conclusions are based on our breakage rate estimates for laptops by the end of the 2nd year of ownership, gathered from subscribers' experiences with 41,304 laptops purchased new between 2014 and the first quarter of 2017. Our statistical model estimates breakage rates for laptops not covered by a service contract and accounts for the number of hours of use per week. Differences of less than 5 points aren't meaningful. Models within a brand may vary, and changes in design or manufacturer may affect future reliability. Still, choosing a brand with a lower estimated breakage rate can improve your odds of getting a dependable model.

Wow it's almost like all laptops have shit build quality. I'll definitely agree apple makes the least shitty prebuilt laptops, other than enterprise laptops or models specifically designed for durability. I have to point out though that this graph is basically meaningless since we don't know the models, price points, test conditions... And it's based on a survey and not an actual trial of any kind.

I can fabricate results with my favorite brand at the top, with even more unbelievable numbers (say, ,000001% breakage). Does that mean everyone should buy that brand too?

Apple's the only one who still makes good laptops. Rest is shit.
>>
>>61852973
kiddos who bought $300 shit laptops that break in two years complain and end up in those results
macfags suck it up and repair it pretending it's not an issue, they're less likely to report such issues. It's like expecting a stockholm syndrome victim to report rape
not to mention they clearly don't go on consumer reports because they've already made such bad decisions such as buying a mac

I mean Microsoft only makes "high-end" tablets and laptops so their reliability rating is comparatively far worse than the others than include cheapo laptops. Every other brands' high end should be similar to Apple's (probably 12% or so) while Microsoft easily doubles that.
