Laptop reliability report by SquareTrade

According to the report, ASUS and Toshiba are the most reliable. I'm very proud that 2 of the nine laptop brand are from Taiwan. But actually, many Taiwanese don't like to buy the products made by our country, most of them think the products from western countries or Japan have better quality. They just can't realize that the Taiwanese corporations already have the ability to make good quality products. We, Taiwanese don't have the patriot love and not united enough to support the local corporations, brands that hire the Taiwanese.

It's a good news to hear Asus is one of the best brand with good reliability. Keep going, Asus.
