    I was wondering if any of you have high/low end desktop or laptop having hang issue at least once? or lets rate it by percentage?

    hang issue usually is occur by OS , software or harddrive/SSD itself I believe?

    My Sony Vaio VPCZ1 hasn't locked up once since I got it earlier this year.

    It has, however, failed to come out of standby once or twice...
