HP is now the top global supplier of laptops, with a 16.9% market share, followed closely by Dell, with 16%. Toshiba, which held the No. 1 ranking in laptops from 1994 until early 2002, has slipped to No. 3 and continues to lose ground even in its home country of Japan.
Good Housekeeping Magazine isn't exactly a tech magazine or the type of magazine we'd go to for in depth reviews, but it's interesting to note what the domestic experts of the world have nominated as the best laptops:
