Portable Computer Failure Prevention

By Allyson Westcot


Are you aware that the average failure rate of many makes of portables that are publicized as "durable" tops out at between 24% and 26%? That's a 1 in 4 likelihood that a "durable" laptop you purchase today will clunk out when you need it the most.

One brand of sturdy portable computer has an average rate of failure of less than 2.5%. Sturdy systems made by Panasonic survive harsher conditions than those most portables quickly fail in. PCs liked the Panasonic CF19 are designed to bear everything from water to dust to salt, mist and robust vibrations and shocks.

A system designed to face up to the toughest conditions might cost more than that questionably durable portable that's got a 1 in 4 rate of failure. If budget is your main priority, you will have to go with the less expensive option. But if you can afford a better product, it's in your best interest to select that one, as it will always cost less eventually with fewer repairs and replacements.

It is not always necessary to get the most rugged system for each circumstance. Business-rugged or semi-rugged systems have various levels of protection against hazards like moisture, weather extremes and dust, and can cost less. An alternative choice is getting a second user model, specifically a refurbished one.

Refurbished systems are cleaned and reset at the factory to as like-new condition as practical. It is like getting a used laptop that's basically given a clean slate. You might possibly be able to buy used from a personal seller, but you won't know the history of the laptop PC or how it's been used. Factory renovated ones have been gone over thoroughly and will typically feature a guarantee so you know your investment will not be in vain, like it might be with a used portable computer that comes with no guarantees.
