Rescuecom Releases Q2 2011 Computer Reliability ReportOct 20, 2011 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- "During these economically stressed times, when 90 percent of people believe we are in a bad economy, it's even more important to know what products will save you money down the road. Reliability is one of the best indicators of how much your technology will cost you over the long haul," said David Milman CEO of Rescuecom. The Company said that the Computer Reliability Report gives an unbiased summary of the personal computer manufacturers. The top five brands with the best overall reliability in Q2 2011 are: -IBM/Lenovo (234) -Toshiba (202) -Apple (124) -HP/Compaq (120) -Asus/Sony tie (73) In a release, Rescuecom noted: Several significant changes occurred during the second quarter. Asus took a nosedive in the second quarter, going from second position to fifth in reliability. Asus experienced skyrocketing percentages of market share throughout 2009, and maintained customer support during that time. It seems they are not able to maintain that level of support with all the new customers, however, and are barely holding on to a position in the top five for this quarter. HP/Compaq, still ahead in market share, essentially maintained its same level of reliability from the first quarter to the second. HP's move from the fifth spot to the fourth place is due to the significant drop in the reliability rating of Asus. Toshiba, on the other hand, is a manufacturer that increased in its reliability score over the first quarter. Rescuecom's first quarter report called attention to Samsung as a brand to watch. Even though its market share does not place this manufacturer in the lineup of top manufacturers, Samsung continues to rank high in reliability. Dell, on the other hand, maintains second place in market share of computers sold, yet lags far behind others in computer reliability. Rescuecom provides homes and businesses with 24/7 computer repair and support. More Information: www.rescuecom.com ((Comments on this story may be sent to [email protected])) |
