The transistors are more reliable than vacuum tubes. Why?
Transistors are more reliable than vacuum tubes because, transistors are faster, smaller, and much cheaper to build than a vacuum tube. One transistor was the equivalent of 40 vacuum tubes. They also did not produce heat compare to vacuum tubes. It conducts electricity faster and better than vacuum tubes.

i don't think transistors were cheaper in that generation... because every individual transistor had to be assembled manually by hand into electronic circuits making its production costly..
