The Eee PC Netbook vs Macs

by martin on August 24, 2009

A recent report has surfaced from Rescuecom called the Computer Reliability Report which indicates that is Asus is the most reliable for the second time in a row for this report. The report is calculated from a ratio between number of sales and the amount of support and repair calls generated for each company within a certain time period. In this instance, it was second quarter of this year, 2009.

Asus, in this particular order, scored higher than Apple, IBM/Lenovo, Toshiba and HP/Compaq.

David A. Milman, C.E.O and founder of Rescuecom revealed “Because Asus just introduced the newest version of the Eee laptop last fall, the original predicted computer reliability of this laptop has been somewhat up in the air. However, a good eight months later, we’re still receiving the fewest calls for computer repair and support with Asus, while their market share is increasing, adding the Eee desktop to their line as well, indicating that this PC is continuing to prove itself in terms of computer reliability.”

Of course, this report does not take into account that users may choose to use directly offered customer support options, such as Applecare, versus third-party providers. However, when it comes to a wide variety of options and releases within the Eee line, Asus are fairing pretty well. Keep up the good work Asus!

Hi,
I had bought (just a couple of months ago) a brand new EE pc 901 with a 12gig ssd. I realized that I kept updating my WinXP to 3. I want to keep it at 3, and dont want to downgrade. But now I dont have room on the ssd, so can anyone tell me if a “Maxtor STM9120817AS MobileMax II Hard Drive – 120GB, 2.5″, 5400RPM, 8MB, SATA” hard drive would work in this? P.s, it is on tiger direct PLEASE HELP! I love that computer!
