Table notes
In May 2008 we asked 7,919 Which? online panel members about their computers. The Which? reliability index is based on the proportion of machines that have needed a repair. Scores for each brand are adjusted to account for sample size and product age - so a brand won?t be unfairly penalised if a lot of owners have older models. We also show whether each brand?s reliability score is good (above average), poor (below average) or average in its product category. There must be at least 50 owners of a brand for it to receive a reliability score, but all brands are included in the category averages.
Sample sizes: Dell (1225), Apple (197), Packard-Bell (121), Compaq (120), Acer (91), Medion (63), eMachines (58), Evesham (77), HP (268), Mesh (112). The total sample size was 3040.
