Hard to do with laptops if you prefer the newer ones. They don't have much of a track record when I usually buy one.

Not only that. There are so many models out there that even if they have been around for a while, the small group of people you manage to ask does not make up a statistically reliable dataset.

Buying laptops is really scary that way. Half the time you get some shit yuo have to outlive, and the other half it's fairly decent. Only once or twice have I heard people hit the jackpot.

I agree it would be hard to ask about specific models. I just asked about which brands were the most reliable and easiest to repair.
