Which laptops break the least?

Question

Iron

My experience:
HP No. 1 - the power connector loosened up, the modem connector fell off (why is it needed in our time? - send faxes)
HP No. 2 - problems with the
ThinkPad cooler - problems with the cooler, replaced it twice already, enough for half a year. Native cooler - under a hundred green. Chinese counterparts are cheaper, but do not work well. The power connector loosens, the wire breaks at the power supply. The screw was covered with bad clusters. And why are they only "taken as astronauts"?
MacBook - a wire breaks en masse at the power supply (there are a lot of videos on YouTube how to fix it, that is, the problem is massive), the backlight goes out at the screen, the plastic legs have fallen off, now we are scratching the table.
Damn, can't you just do it right? Or is it so necessary that I quickly buy a new one?
And now a non-rhetorical question - which brands or models are less fragile?

Answer 1

Hmmm… Thinkpad after all. Statistics for my office says "they are indestructible." We have many.

Answer 2

I have been using the third MacBook in a row since 2008, and rather inaccurately and constantly carrying them with me, I have not encountered any of the listed problems. Pro in the Unibody case is generally unkillable, in my opinion, after three years it looks almost like new.

Answer 3

And yet HP. But not all models.
For example, 6710b bought in 2007 is alive and well (a friend has the same one, no complaints)
6320 - they just didn’t crack nuts ...

Answer 4

I’ll also complain about my laptops in your question:
- Dell Vostro - heats up (turns off due to overheating), the cooler makes noise, the legs come off, the wire at the power supply is about to break
- Acer Aspire - the screen mount to the case broke twice, the legs came off , broken wire.

Answer 5

I'm afraid to ask what you do with them. There is an Asus EeePC 1005PE netbook, I have been using it for a little over three years, once the cat threw it off the table - the screen broke, after replacement it works flawlessly. I have also been using the Lenovo V570 for two years - there are no problems, except for a drop in Wi-Fi speed. And this is during normal operation, that is, I don’t blow off dust particles from them, but I don’t specifically try to break them either. My cousin goes to school with the Lenovo G580 and lives in a hostel with him, she also has no problems. And Thinkpad, they say, is much more reliable than regular laptops from Lenovo, how do you do that?

Answer 6

For its position (indestructible laptops) - Thinkpads break often. But they are often repaired under warranty. Thinkpad X220/230 definitely has no problems with coolers.
Screws != the laptop breaks. Get it from ssd.
In general, I had the least problems with Asus (1000h, u36sd, etc). They were killed in the trash along the body (parts, panels fell off, cracks appeared), but the iron was alive and well.
In general - how lucky. My asus u36sd has already served for 3-4 years, at least henna for him. At one time there was an Acer Aspire of the year 3 - so there was nothing at all, except for scuffs on the case. He ended up falling off the balcony. And with colleagues, the X220 breaks down tightly after 2-3 months (marriage - motherboards for replacement).

Answer 7

We even have some statistics accumulated with vendor jambs.
Toshiba cannot learn how to do cooling, motherboards burned out. Interfaces broke on Acers, often memory was buggy. IBM's were indestructible, and Lenovo became much worse. Asus's batteries failed immediately after the end of the warranty period. HP broke down in the area of ​​the video subsystem and network devices. Asus became the most reliable with a waterproof keyboard and shock-resistant disks.

Answer 8

Samsung Chronos 17'' - half a year, normal flight. Everyone is happy. Almost does not heat up (even now). Before that there was HP HDX. 5 years no problem. Moreover, the operation was very tough - often fell. In the penultimate year of his life, he fried the battery because of his stupidity - it was necessary to clean the cooling system. After replacing the battery, he lived for about a year, then the screen began to cut down. I really did not want to change, it was enough for me. But the breakers in the office where I gave it to repair only took the money (and a lot), but they didn’t really do anything ...
IMHO, with laptops - how lucky. When I bought my HP, I was told that they are very bad, they heat up and break. But he performed very well. In general, the thought often arises - is it really impossible to make a very high-quality laptop, taking into account all the requirements, reviews, etc. Let it be wildly expensive, but if it lasts a long time, I would not spare the money.

Answer 9

IMHO there are none now. And even among the less fragile, there are jambs - either the mother is changed under warranty, or the coolers. Well if single.
I have estimated statistics in a company where they took laptops in packs of 20-50 pieces several times a year, changed vendors and suppliers from time to time, and all this for the last 15 years at least.

Answer 10

Panasonic CF-19 series. There will certainly be no “jambs” in the body.
