If I were doing a study on this I would need a list of breakdown causes and likelihoods. Off the top of my head I can think of:

fan failure/general overheat
Hard drive failure
Hinge failure
Screen/backlight failure
Keyboard failure
Power circuit failure
Port failure
DVD failure
Virus
OS craps out (hardware is still OK, but it's easier to buy a new computer than reinstall on the old)

Now compare the Mac vs PC on each and you can find the weak spots. Where is the Mac more reliable?
