There is some interesting reading to anyone coming to buy a new computer.<br /><br />It may come as a surprise to some people, but laptops are on average 5% more reliable than desktops. The most reliable laptop of all is the <a href="http://astore.amazon.co.uk/cheaplaptopinsurance-21?%5Fencoding=UTF8&node=57">Toshiba laptop</a>, scoring 91% in the reliability test.<br /><br />This is the results of their laptop reliability test:<br /><br /><a href="http://astore.amazon.co.uk/cheaplaptopinsurance-21?%5Fencoding=UTF8&amp;node=57">Toshiba Laptops</a> 91%<br /><a href="http://astore.amazon.co.uk/cheaplaptopinsurance-21?%5Fencoding=UTF8&node=51">Acer Laptops</a> 88%<br />Hewlett Packard Laptops 88%<br /><a href="http://astore.amazon.co.uk/cheaplaptopinsurance-21?%5Fencoding=UTF8&amp;node=58">Sony Laptops</a> 88%<br /><a href="http://astore.amazon.co.uk/cheaplaptopinsurance-21?%5Fencoding=UTF8&node=55">Compaq Laptops</a> 85%<br />Dell Laptops 85%<br /><a href="http://astore.amazon.co.uk/cheaplaptopinsurance-21?%5Fencoding=UTF8&amp;node=59">Fujitsu Siemens Laptops</a> 85%<br /><a href="http://astore.amazon.co.uk/cheaplaptopinsurance-21?%5Fencoding=UTF8&node=53">Apple Laptops</a> 82%<br /><br />Surprisingly Apple laptops are the least reliable, which goes against popular belief. But still, 88% of Mac owners would recommend them to a friend.<br /><br />The Toshiba, as well as being the most reliable, scored two Best Buy awards, for the Toshiba Satellite P200-140 and the Toshiba Satellite A200-1Ai.<br /><br />Most new PC's, (not Apple Mac's) will come with <a href="http://astore.amazon.co.uk/cheaplaptopinsurance-21?%5Fencoding=UTF8&amp;node=38">Windows Vista</a>. This is the latest operating system from Microsoft. You can still choose XP if you want it, with suppliers such as Dell. There is a significant risk of being left behind though if you do this. Most new hardware and software will be designed to be Vista compatible.<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.shoestring.co.uk/travel/?tt=1066_24232_21079_" target="_blank"><img src="http://ti.tradetracker.net/?c=1066&amp;m=24232&amp;a=21079&amp;t=html" width="468" height="60" border="0" alt="" /></a></div>Ryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07931487032833360479noreply@blogger.com
