I have an Acer Nitro 5, it's motherboard got fri3d the other day. Thankfully it was under warranty. But I wonder is acer laptops generally more unreliable than others?

Basically which laptops are reliable?

I have two Asus gaming laptops. My G74SX from 2011 is still trucking along great. It's not much for games anymore but great for Stardew Valley, browsing, and movies. My Zephyrus M16 is good overall with some complaints. I will throw out that for the same price of a gaming laptop, you can build a PC that is more powerful. You can even get a pre-build that will last you longer than a laptop. If you're dead set on the laptop though, I'd recommend an Asus. The hardware is great but the software fights you a bit
