IBM and Apple, the two who have been in the business the longest, make the most reliable computers.

It’s interesting that IBM, who is no longer really in the PC business, makes the most reliable PCs. Twice, I’ve talked to business people (not techs) who remember fondly how great their IBM PCs seemed to work a few years ago before they switched to a new vendor (Dell). I don’t know if a PC with the IBM name on it really does work better, but I do think the name IBM still connotes quality to the over 30 crowd, even if it is a by-the-way hardware offering from a services company.
