Computer Repair Warning: The Top Five Most Undependable Brands Of The Year

June 12, 2012 - PRLog -- Steve White, a product analyst, reveals five of the most unreliable computer and laptop brands of 2012.

Acer/Gateway, Asus, Toshiba, Sony and Samsung owners are warned against large computer repair expenses in the future given the low scoring these brands got in a recently publicized laptop computer specs evaluation. Out of the line-up, Acer had the lowest average of 62, with small ratings on its design, keyboards and touchpads, tech support, software as well as audio and display. Customer satisfaction was rated 3 out 5 because of rampant quality issues when it came to hardware and programs. And there were also some disputes over in-house laptop repair services. Yes, the computers and notebooks they sell are quite cheap for the innovation they provide. And it is probably one of the most affordable computer and laptop brands of 2011. But during that same year, Acer/Gateway failed Rescuecom’s reliability report, sealing their fate this year as the worst computer brand of 2012. Asus ties with Toshiba at second place with a score of 68.

Despite this, White does emphasize that quality is a subjective experience and cannot be directly quantified by a leading technology publication’s scorecard, despite extensive study. If one knows how to care for his or her device, he or she would not probably have to submit the item for computer or laptop repair frequently and get to enjoy it over a long period of time. Obviously, machines are bound to reveal some glitches as they are used since they work in progress. And let’s not discount the fact that even the best brands – Apple, Lenovo, HP – still have some imperfections to them.

Sometimes, it’s the technician’s erroneous repair practices and the use of substandard parts that make a certain computer or laptop brands problematic. In light of this, White urges that aside from observing proper upkeep protocols, folks should also find themselves reliable laptop and computer repair shops in their area so they don’t have to suffer through bad and expensive unit restoration services. For example, in Portsmouth, they can approach Reboot Computer Solutions and have all their technological problems – from virus removal, software/hardware installation, screen replacements in addition to computer upgrades – resolved with reasonable fees.
