Study: 5.8% of Netbooks Fail During First Year
Posted by Tom Greer on December 2, 2009 in Netbooks
Square Trade, an independent warranty provider, has published a study on laptop failure rates. The study, which includes netbooks, concludes that netbooks fail at a rate of 5.8% during their first year. They say that this is is about 20% higher than the laptop failure rate during the same period.
I am always a bit skeptical when a study is published by a company who stands to benefit from the conclusions. After all, if Square Trade can make the failure rates sound scarily high, then they can sell more warranties. So let’s look at this in more depth.
