Consumer reports seems to have rankings, but you have to register to view them. Fortunately, I found them (maybe) on google images: http://cache.consumerist.com/assets/resources/2006/10/laptop... My anecdotal experience is also that macs are a little bit unreliable, but this is obviously a subject on which we should trust the data (which says that macs are slightly above average.) |

According to the context ( http://consumerist.com/210708/all-laptops-break-period ), this is apparently a graph from 2006 ranking "how quickly different laptops need repair," which doesn't really make a lot of sense given the way the graph is displayed. These definitely aren't the reliability scores from the 2006 rankings, which you can see discussed here: http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2006/10/5614.ars
FWIW, the upcoming consumer reports rankings were announced yesterday, and all apple laptops topped the overall rankings:

It's unclear where they are in the specific reliability rankings.
