Laptop Quality Improving

TechDirt has an article up called “Laptop Quality Sucks Just A Bit Less” which says that laptop quality is going up, though it is still not all that great.

When it comes to things like the quality of products or services people can be guilty of having a selective memory. The phrase “They don’t make ‘em like they used to” often seems to apply, though at least in some cases this is a good thing. It seems that according to surveys, laptop quality is getting a lot better. In just the past few years, failure rate has come down, as has the need for getting repairs. Still, 15% of laptops have some kind of problem within the first year, which still seems pretty bad.

I totally agree with them. I think that more and more companies are working on making their laptops better, stronger and faster, but they still have a long ways to go before they can be truely dependable. The fact that 15% of laptops have some kind of problem in the first year does seem a little bit higher than it should be. I would hope that only around 2%-10% would have problems, as that seems a little more reasonable and more inline with other products.
