I have an Acer Nitro 5, it’s motherboard got fri3d the other day. Thankfully it was under warranty. But I wonder is acer laptops generally more unreliable than others?

Basically which laptops are reliable?

    All of the consumer lines are pretty bad these days. Acer has a reputation for being unreliable (backed by some data from SquareTrade ~10 years ago). HP is just as bad, in mostly the same ways, but has avoided the reputation.

    Reliable laptops are the enterprise lines - Dell Latitude/Precision, HP Elite Book, and Lenovo Thinkpad. But they are significantly more expensive when buying new.

      I’ve been extremely impressed with the longevity and all around toughness of my Dell Precision. I think it’s gotta be 12 years old now, it weighs a ton, been dropped multiple times, and while I replaced its disk and memory at some point it has never suffered a hardware failure. The thing is a tank, I love it.

      I have a Dell XPS and have had zero issues with it. Does what I need - which is minimal, I admit, but it’s great.
