The plural of anecdote is not data.

I use my MBP 6-8 hours every. single. day. I plug two monitors to it and leave everything on 24/7 (I only dim the screen but never close it). I'm sure I put way more use into them than the average user. I once went close to two years without a restart.

No other laptop I've owned has been as reliable as the MBPs.

... but yes this is still an anecdote.

Of course not. An anecdote is bad data. A diverse sample is good data.
