Reliability
Updated: 12/05/2021 by Computer Hope
The reliability of something describes the degree that something can be trusted and is dependable. For example, a reliable computer would not crash, reboot, or give you errors that interrupt your work or cause you grief. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a 100% reliable computer or service that relies on computers, which is why companies relying on computers may provide an uptime guarantee.
Tip
Microsoft Windows users can use the Reliability Monitor that gives an overview of the stability of a computer.
