The hard drive failure will end when solid state disks come into play. That is what I am waiting for, a drop in price for these things. This should end a lot of headaches for users who think they computer is junk, only to find that the hard drive is the culprit, and the rest of the computer works fine.

I love comment posters that swear like teenagers, say “I know engineers” (yeah, right) and then make a futile attempt to sound intelligent afterwards. Louis, you are an absolute riot. I needed a good laugh this morning and for that I thank you. You rock. Keep up the good work. The next time you post, throw in a few WTFs and LOLs. Always a good crowd pleaser.

Man you are full of shit. I know HW engineers that have designed all-in-one PCs and many of the parts they choose are of at least as good quality as the desktop parts. This is because the BOM cost of the average AIO or laptop is higher than the average desktop. Therefore they have more freedom to choose parts. The most likely reason that laptops have a lower average life span is because of theft or owner mistreatment and that is the end of the story.

“Let me pull you up to the tree before you drown..” –the monkey referring to the fish.

Talk about having a narrow perspective mister nerd. Article has little value.

Gee, I must be doing something wrong. My sage G3 iMac is running Tiger 4.11 (slowly tho) and still working and the Powerbook G3 Pismo that I recycled is running Tiger 4.11 and is over 7 years old. If you want I can try to break them………

I have to agree with Matt there! A shockingly poor retort from Menga. Im sure he must have paid some school kid to come up with that trot.
Anyway, whoever is reponsible for allowing Menga to publish an article on this site should take a good look at themselves. Terrible usage of some words (”tard”, “retarded” ) by the author really should be looked at by this website’s owners/administrators.
I have nothing to add about the author’s argument, whats the point. Never argue with an idiot people, they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience everytime.

Jeeze Menga, that has got to be the weakest response to criticism I have ever read. When I first read it I thought it was some kid trying to be a smart arse but, I mean bloody hell, from soemone paid to write. man that’s weak.

Re the optical drive: I’m trying to find evidence that slot-loaders don’t last as long as tray-loaders. Can you point me to some?

Frankly, Mossberg said it better.
