'Most reliable'
Toshiba laptops have also been recently acclaimed for demonstrating 'reliability' in terms of its hardware functionality. A recent study from SquareTrade has shown that Toshiba stood out as one of the 'most reliable' laptop manufacturers. “'The Perfection Promise' complements this achievement. Being named 'most reliable' and offering an unprecedented protection to our customers build and fortify customer confidence in Toshiba,” states Rossouw, Regional General Manager, Computer Systems Group, Toshiba.
SquareTrade, the leading direct-to-consumer warranty company, has named Toshiba as one of the 'most reliable' laptops in the market in its recent study which analyses laptop reliability. Based on a survey of more than 30,000 new laptops purchased by SquareTrade customers over the past three years, Toshiba, along with another vendor, stood out as the most reliable manufacturer, with a three-year malfunction rates forecast to be under 16%.
The study also concluded that Toshiba is a “solid bet” in terms of reliability. “Customers trust Toshiba for technology, quality and support. Toshiba constantly gears up to innovate and provide quality products to customers to ensure that they get value for money,” adds Rossouw.
