10. Toshiba
Total score- 58.
Takes the last place for the second time since 2013.This is due to the poor quality of laptops, weak technical support and mediocre design. To fill the barrel of tar, LaptopMag added that Toshiba forces users to pay for shipping when returning low-quality products and downloads too many unwanted programs.
9. Samsung
Overall score is 60.
Although the company released several thin and lightweight notebooks such as Ativ Book 9 and Book 9 Plus, its products did not compete with other laptops with more "long-playing" batteries, and the design does not pretend to berave reviews. But Samsung offers good technical support over the phone.
8. Acer
Total score - 67.
In 2016, the brand rose from last place to the eighth place, mainly due to the weakness of its competitors, as innovations and technical support do not belong to the strengths of Acer products. Most new brand laptops were rated as good, but not outstanding.
7. Microsoft
Total score is 71.
The company is known for its innovative products, such as the Surface Book laptop, running twice as fast as the MacBook Pro( as the manufacturer assures).Nevertheless, Microsoft has an alarming tendency to produce "raw" products, as it was with an uncomfortable touchpad on the surface of the Surface Book. And the brand products are expensive compared to competitors.
6. HP
Total score - 73.
This year the brand "fell" immediately two places down, as in 2015 it released a number of unsuccessful models that suffered from a short battery life, including Specter x2 2-in-1, Envy 13t and EliteBook 745 G3.In this case, the X360 13t Specter was one of the best laptop transformers of last year.
5. MSI
Total score is 75.
The MSI notebook line( mostly game models) is equipped with new and intriguing features, such as mechanical keyboards and sensors that track eye movements. The company's devices have attractive design and performance, but users have to bear the costs of delivering defective laptops to the manufacturer.
4. Lenovo
Total score - 77.
Lenovo makes one of the best laptops in the world, but it also has unsuccessful models. The latter in the opinion of the edition of LaptopMag is LaVie Z, which weighs 0.45 kg, but is equipped with a terrible keyboard. However, weak telephone support of the company did not allow her to enter the top-3.
3. Asus
Overall score is 81.
The company has entered the top of the list with high-quality notebooks, such as the Asus Zenbook UX305.They provided the Taiwanese manufacturer with the third place in the category "reviews".
2. Dell
Total score - 82.
For the second consecutive year, Dell is the best supplier of laptops and number two overall, because of its excellent line of notebooks and a useful warranty. The company offers the widest range of notebooks, from low-cost to high-performance gaming.
1. Apple
Total score - 83.
Still the first among brands that produce laptops. He's been in the lead for the seventh consecutive year, thanks to a combination of best-in-class notebooks and industry-leading technical support. The company from Cupertino, California, also received top marks for powerful pre-installed programs and convenient warranty options. A defective laptop can be sent either by mail( shipping costs are borne by Apple), or brought to the store for warranty service.
