Surprise: Apple MacBook Pro was called the most reliable Windows-NOTEBOUK

Soluto, known for its "cloudy" service, which finds software that causes problems in the computer’s operation, analyzed with its help several new models of laptops of well -known manufacturers with Windows. The winner following the test was the MacBook Pro 13 of the release of the middle of last year, bypassing portable computers, originally focused on this operational system.

The second place in the ranking was taken by the Aspire E1-571 from Acer, and the third - XPS 13 from Dell. The most reliable manufacturer was refused by Dell, whose laptops took half the seats in the first ten, reports CNews.ru .

The Soluto study is based on the statistics of 150 thousand laptops from January to March 2013. The assessment criteria included the number of failures, hanging and blue “death screens” during the week, as well as the average OS load.

On the MacBook Pro, supplied with a completely different operating system, Windows was installed in its pure form, without third -party software, which manufacturers are very fond of cluttering the pre -installed OS.

Soluto analysts admit that a comparison of laptop indicators with pure Windows and Windows with a pile of pre -installed applications is not entirely correct. However, "our goal was to compare the real situation - as if we were an ordinary user and bought a new system," the company explains. The Windows version at which tests were held do not report.

This is reflected in Soluto statistics: if there were 60 background processes on the MacBook Pro, then in the Acer Aspire E1-571 (second place) - 66 processes, and in Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (tenth place) - as many as 85 processes.

Laptop manufacturers should think that if they stopped littering Windows with additional utilities, the operating system would work much faster and more stable, and the user would be more convenient and pleasant to use the laptop, the report said.

On the other hand, the MacBook Pro would be the most expensive Windows-non-circuit breaker. Even without taking into account the price of the Windows license, which in other cases is included in the cost of the computer, its starting price is $ 1199. For comparison, the initial cost of the Acer Aspire laptop, which took second place, is $ 429 in the United States.

Analysts also note that the installation of Windows on Mac would become a rather long and complex process. In addition, the user in this case will faced, for example, with the absence of a DEL key on the MAC keyboard, possible problems with drivers and so on. The advantages can add an unsurpassed build quality and an impressive trackpad.
