Most Reliable Laptop and Netbook Brands
Dec 18th
A popular question I receive is which laptop or netbook computer is the most reliable. I have seen more than my fair share of failing HP/Compaq laptops, but SquareTrade (a 3rd party warranty provider) has aggregated a wider sample and has broken down the numbers for us. (Figure 1)
Figure 1
Asus and Toshiba have the least hardware malfunctions over 3 years, while one-in-four HP laptops are projected to experience problems!
The study also indicates that sub-$400 netbooks are 20 percent more likely to fail in the first year. (Figure 2)
Figure 2
SquareTrade randomly selected over 30,000 laptops and netbooks covered by its warranty plans for the study. Brands with a minimum of 1000 laptops included Acer, Apple, Asus, Dell, Gateway, HP, Lenovo, Sony, and Toshiba. Accidental damage and software issues handled by the retailer were not included in the numbers.

How to properly dispose of a used computer
Mar 30th
You couldn’t pass up that special at Costco or Best Buy for the latest and great Quad Core computing behemoth. You have gotten it home, hooked it all up and copied all your pertinent data from your old pc. Now you are faced with one last obstacle. What to do with your old pc!
If it’s relatively new (a couple of years old) you may want to keep it around as a file or print server, off loading those tasks from your new computer. Or, it may be handed down to the next in line. But, if you just want to get rid of it, there are some things you should consider before setting it on the side of the road.
