The fact is, every laptop will definitely break down, the real question is, when?
Recently, there was a survey conducted by *The Consumerists* revealed that there's only 3 percent difference in the best and the one with most problem. But, there's a few uncertainties that is more crucial should have been put into consideration, like the
percentage of laptops. The number of users for each brand is obviously should be given consideration as well. Plus, the user behavious for each laptop would also be of placed as an X-factor. Because there are no 2 users that have exactly the same pattern of using their laptop. The conclusion is, take good care of your laptop and respect it like it's your spouse, it will be good to you.Which laptop won't break down on you?
1. How many of each manufacturers systems were tested?
2. What is the time period of the study?

Answers :
1. There were about 128,000 laptops included in the study. Not sure how many of each.
