31% failure rate for the 20" G5 iMac...wow. You really get what you pay for?
Stunning engineering work, boys.

From your link: "Apple led all competitors in desktop computer quality with a failure rate of about 12% "needing a repair or having a serious problem". (Apple's laptops showed about a 16% failure rate.)"
it's difficult to say what led means in this case. Anybody has a subscription to consumerreports.org?
Besides Asher, you should always try to include the full data:
And maybe also mention the mac-mini:Code:Original iMac G5 17" 2778 501 18% Original iMac G5 20" 1730 533 31% New iMac G5 17" 812 100 12% New iMac G5 20" 589 62 11%
It's good to see cheaper computers still having good quality.Code:Mac Mini 1.25GHz 803 26 3% Mac Mini 1.42GHz 902 27 3%

The best part is, when the G5 iMacs were announced...geeks around the world (myself included) said it was a very dumb idea to put such a hot processor so close to the LCD.Originally posted by Lord Nuclear
Nah, the G5 20" is.
Lo and behold, the reliability statistics for such a device are extremely bad.

I disagree. Although the G5 iMacs are not as heinously ugly as the G4 and G3 series were, there's still the issue of its design philosophy being abominable, and the fact that there's a lot of blank whitespace on the bottom. Frankly, I find that whitespace to be uncomfortable and ugly, especially because it fails to jive with either my desire for elegant functionality, and because it fails to match my notions for what is aesthetically pleasing.Originally posted by Lord Nuclear

Mac Minis, on the other hand, and caseless G4 Cubes, I like.B♭3Comment
