Dell used to make reliable computers. Hopefully they will again  
someday. Right now they don't.

Presents reliability by brand. The results were:

"Full results follow (with total score in parenthesis, for comparative  
use):

	• Apple (357)
	• Lenovo/IBM (236)
	• HP (126)
	• Gateway (103)
	• Dell (94)
	• Others (79)
Scores of under 100 mean that the share of repair calls for that brand  
are highter than the actual market share of the company. Sorry, Dell!  
(That said, remember, this is just one company's look at the issue;  
other reliability studies will offer different viewpoints on who's  
best.)"
