I have found that if you buy a computer, in general, within a year you
will be able to tell for sure if it is a lemon or a good one.  This is
the case from nearly ANY computer company.  In general I would suggest
to anyone buying a computer to shy away from anything with less than a 1
year warranty.  By the way, don't ask me if I own a machine with a 9
month warranty, I think you know I do!  :-)

Sounds about right to me.
