From 14-20, it all works well without being unbalanced.Fewer than 5% fail in the first year.  As for the rest, that's what warranties like the ones the writer of the article sells are for.  No bias there.  They also cite heavy use, subjecting the laptops to heat, etc. as reasons for the failures.  I bet the other 70% actually take care of their devices and don't misuse their devices.It's amazing how long they last when you don't drop them constantly.Not within the first 4-5 years.  But yes, when cars get old they start costing money.  In the first 4-5 years, you might have an unscheduled flat tire or alignment issue. And of course your scheduled oil changes.  You're article just averages times per year over the lifetime of the car.  It doesn't tell you that most of that is when it has been used to hell and is breaking down due to age.Now find me what I actually asked for, which is completely different than products that break down when abused or when they get old.I don't either, which is why they accounted for it so that it wouldn't be unbalancing.Genetic matching is a crap shoot.  They can get you into the ballpark, but after that randomness takes over.  They're just trying to minimize the level of random.Array is not mathematically equal, either. It's always the same.  Rolling varies considerably from the standard array most of the time.  I used a stat generator for 10 sets of stats.  Which one matches the array?1.  11, 11, 12, 13, 14, 152.  9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 173.  12, 13, 15, 15, 15, 164.  7, 10, 13, 13, 15, 165.  10, 13, 14, 14, 14, 156.  4, 7, 10, 10, 12, 137.  11, 13, 14, 14, 14, 158.  9, 11, 13, 13, 13, 159.  10, 12, 14, 15, 15, 1510.  7, 11, 11, 12, 16, 18</blockquote>
