Just How Reliable Is Your Laptop?

(Nov 18, 09:14 AM)

About 30% of laptop owners are asking themselves the same question. According to SquareTrade research, 1 in 3 users should expect to encounter problems with their laptop within 3 years. Findings showed that higher end laptops tended to fare better than entry level models, but only relatively. Netbooks fared even worse than traditional notebooks, which is something the numerous potential buyers out there should be aware of.

It’s not hard to imagine most users running into at least 1 problem over the course of 3 years but the numbers should raise general awareness amongst laptop owners. Regardless of the brand of laptop hardware issues will creep up for the majority of users. If you happen to be one of the “lucky ones” the chances of a failure continue to rise the older the laptop is.

Mobile users should take extra precautions by backing up their data. Whether important files are saved to an external drive, DVDs, or via cloud technology — being prepared is the key. If all else fails talk to a CBL Data Recovery specialist and we’ll help you get your data back.
