Some people shouldn't be allowed to write on the internet
Why is it that most journalists copy+paste info from a source and interpret it the wrong way?
Don't think I'm being a jerk!
I'll prove why Asus isn't more reliable than Apple based on the data in this article!
First, what does reliability mean? It's
not based on the number of notebooks with problems, but on that number
in regard to the total amount of notebooks sold!
According to the percentages in the table, Apple had 3 and a half times more complaints than Asus. On the other hand, Apple
sold 3.5 more notebooks than Asus!
Put 2 and 2 together and you see that both Asus and Apple had the same percentage of customer complaints in regard to the amount of notebooks sold.
If I've lost you along the way, let's give an example (hypothetical):
Asus sold 1000 computers, out of these 100 customers called RESCUE-PC => 10%
Apple sold 3500 computers (as I've said, 8.7% market share in regard to 2.5% market share is 3.5 times higher) and had 350 complaints (again, 2.2% is about 3.5 times higher than 0.6%) => 10%
Any questions?
