Posted June 30, 2018 None of them. They're computers and will always have problems. If I had to pick one, it'd be my desktop as it's fast (ish, not really high end anymore) and has no big outstanding issue other than the front 3.0 ports which freeze the computer when anything is plugged in. Oh yes, and 4 case fans died from 3 different brands.

Posted July 1, 2018 If in most reliable you mean "refusing to die," then that would definitely be my old Dell XPS 410 from 2006. It ran 24/7 for 6 years as a mini server for my dad's photography business, and then played Minecraft for 3 more years as it was my first PC. It never crashed and took whatever you threw at it, except for games since the graphics card was rather gutless (GeForce 7300LE). In 2015, I became interested in computer hardware and opened the XPS 410 for the first time in 9 years. Dust. Everywhere. Both the CPU and hard drive intake fans were completely clogged with a centimeter-thick pad of dust and pulling it all out took a long time. Somehow, nothing had overheated and died the entire time it was like that. Soon later, I dissected the graphics card and found that the thermal paste had dried up and left the GPU die with no contact on the tiny heatsink. No wonder it idled at 70C and ran horribly. Then, I gave it a 750Ti, 8GB of DDR2 RAM, and a Core 2 Quad Q6600 and it ran perfectly, albeit a bit hot. The chipset got so hot for so long that the back of the green motherboard had started to turn slightly brown where it was affected by the heat. Nevertheless, the PC soldiered on, and is now my sister's school PC enjoying a nice retirement. For now. Who knows what I'll do with it in the future? The design is so simple and parts so cheap that if anything breaks, I can fix it with pocket change.

Posted July 1, 2018 Most reliable computer I have on hand is the one I'm sitting beside The laptop, the Asus ROG G75VW-DS73-3D was reliable for its time before it ran into some pretty bad thermal issues. It would frequently shut down. Unfortunately, the hardware that's in it is incapable of running modern games at 60 FPS, even with the settings turned down, whether it's at 1080p, 900p, or 720p. Blame that on the GeForce GTX 670M 3GB, which has now gone onto legacy support since it's a Fermi-based rebrand of the GeForce GTX 570M. One other thing it needs is a fresh install of Windows 10, since it is sloooooow.
