 I'm a little surprised to see that even the best manufacturer is barely below 10% over 2-years.  That's pretty abysmal.  I'd expect a company with just basic quality control to have less than 5% of their products returned within the first 2 years.  
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.
