Congratulations you are the 5th person in the thread who parroted someone from the comments section of the article. I saw that in the comments from the article also, but didn't see any explanation given. It seems like something that came completely from out of left field. An interesting trolling method to be sure. Maybe you can explain what the guy was talking about?
There were two graphs in the article. The first graph was from the 2017 Winter Product Reliability Survey Consumer Reports National Research Center. The second graph was from PC Magazine in 2016. I tried to find more recent failure reports myself and so far have not been able to.
Someone in the comments linked to a completely outdated a SquareTrade laptop repair frequency report PDF from 2009. Others noted the date and started conflating that link with the data in the article.
