I have no idea how that data was collected... all I know is that I've owned a bunch of PC's and a few laptops, and I've never had a hardware failure unless it was DOA or failed like 5 years down the road. 1-3 years has been the sweet spot for reliability in my equipment.

Then again, I've never really bought budget stuff... I usually buy one step back from top-of-the-line, or get the latest and greatest expensive gear because the office bought it for me.
