Apple Laptop Reliability Survey

Nikopol writes "The venerable Macintouch site recently released the results and analysis of a survey on Apple laptop reliability." From the article: "Our survey spanned every laptop capable of running Mac OS X, encompassing 41 models sold over seven and a half years. A challenge in ascertaining the reliability of any device is that more time gives them more opportunity to break, so new devices should always look more reliable at first glance. Our survey asked participants when their laptop first needed a repair -- 'first year', 'second or third year', and 'fourth year or later.' These correspond to the duration of Apple's standard one-year warranty, the AppleCare extended warranty program, and any repairs that might happen outside any warranty coverage period. We also asked participants if they purchased AppleCare for their laptop."

I hope the computer on which this is hosted didn't pass the test.

Or the editors could do that. But, you know, that would require effort...

Go ahead, mod me down - you know it's true. New stories get posted every half hour or so (if that often) - you're telling me the editors can't 1) search for obvious dupes, and 2) can't coralize the links with a script?
