The logo on the laptop case is not only an aesthetic element, but also a solid mark of quality. Many users of technology choose laptops, based on the prestige and reliability of the brand. The credibility of the manufacturer can be high - but every year large suppliers of equipment reduce the cost of products for the sake of low prices.

When buying a laptop, it is important to choose the right manufacturer.

Just a few years ago, the quality of mobile equipment of famous brands was consistently high - while the pricing policy remained stable for many years. In 2016, the dominance of low-cost models is especially evident. Advanced companies do not want to lose demand, in spite of financial and political turmoil.

Which manufacturer's laptop did you use in the past? If you once were satisfied with the brand, keep loyalty and then not necessarily. Before choosing a laptop manufacturer, please note:

1. On the build quality. How are the body elements fitted, what material does it consist of? Are the display hinges dangling? Does the lid protect the display well? Is the keyboard "sitting" tight or bending when pressed?
2. The quality of the matrix. What type of matrix is ​​used? Is her permission enough for you? Does the characteristics of the cost of a PC match? Are there broken pixels?
3. On the configuration. Does the "filling" of the computer its cost? (If not, what is the cost justification?) Is there a minimum set of ports and connectors you need? Is the configuration balanced?

If you are not satisfied with one of the parameters - perhaps the laptop has some special advantages? Pay attention to the pre-installed OS. Does it make sense to pay for it? Here the choice is yours.

Leading firms always rely on marketing in pursuit of a customer. For advertising and discounts, it can be difficult to look at quality objectively. We offer an overview of the main brands of laptops on the market.

Manufacturers Overview

Lenovo

The range of this manufacturer is huge - it has over 30 series, which are allocated in 4 different directions. The Chinese electronics manufacturer inherited the name from the legendary IBM. Has he inherited quality? On this subject there are many opinions. The company is not so smooth with the service. This is more than offset by very attractive prices for good configurations.

The choice of models presented by Lenovo on the market deserves respect. Everyone will be able to find a personal “Best laptop of 2016 and 2017” if they carefully study the model range. High-quality sound is also “+” in the collection of models of the brand. Interestingly, the company announced that its ThinkPad series conforms to US defense standards in quality and reliability.

The company offers to choose to buy an interesting series of YOGA. It presents a variety of models with common characteristics - this is a transformer with touch screens. In any line of Lenovo, you can choose the configuration for a different taste, color and pocket.

Apple

It is difficult to choose a more recognizable mobile brand - no company, perhaps, in world history has created so much hype around itself. The company owes its popularity not only to first-class marketers, but also to the high quality of its products, as well as to a carefully thought-out ecosystem.

In the design of the Epple technique, the manufacturer’s desire to bring it to perfection is guessed. In 2016, the company showed not only beautiful laptops, but also smart phones, smart watches and tablets. The company actively introduces its own standards to the market, dictating an almost monopolistic policy.

The price for recognizability and beauty is the considerable cost of the company's equipment. The most inexpensive model of the Air laptop is offered at a price slightly above $ 1, 000 for the current configuration. The company is actively promoting the idea that repairing and upgrading used computers is wrong. Sometimes it comes to lawsuits in respect of service centers and resale points.

The manufacturer has the following line of computers:

1. Ultrabooks MacBook Air 12. Extremely thin and light "cars" for the active and stylish.
2. MacBook Air 13. A few years ago - the height of grace. Now moved to a relatively "budget" segment. Have good autonomy.
3. MacBook Pro. Solutions for lovers of beauty and ergonomics. Presented with 15- and 13-inch screens. Powerful and compact devices.

Dell

Dear American company, which has long made a name on the technique for corporate users. Reads the tradition of quality, has a fairly rich range. In 2016 and 2017, it is better to pay attention to Dell laptops if you buy a laptop for business purposes. But for gamers and multimedia enthusiasts, the company also has hidden “trumps”.

Among the Dell models, you can choose devices of any form factor and purpose - from simple laptops for web surfing to transformers and professional workstations. All configurations are well balanced. The company pays a lot of attention and appearance of products. Design of middle class models will appeal to lovers of rigor and simplicity. Top brand notebooks are well suited for fashion shows - which is worth one “frameless” model.

Dell pays a lot of attention to service. Details for the brand's laptops in 2016 were easy to choose. The case is easily disassembled, and therefore laptops are well suited for upgrading. The disadvantages of the products can be attributed to quite brand plastic in many models. For Dell laptops, the price-quality principle applies as nowhere else.

Asus

Laptops of this brand were once the most popular among budget solutions. Now the palm is lost - but the company Asus is still on top. Simple to explore the range allows you to choose solutions for every taste. The company has proven itself in the gaming segment - the Republic of Gamers series models de facto have almost no competitors in the CIS. These are the most powerful cars for discerning players.

Asus has solutions for business people - in 2016 it is better to pay attention to the ZenBook series, if you are a fan of mobility and great style. According to the author, Zenbuki is one of the most worthy competitors for Apple technology. Productive ultrabooks with good autonomy - this is the "trump card" of the company.

In the budget segment, everything is not so good. In 2016, it is better to choose another brand if you have “some” amount to buy. Reliability inexpensive Asus (up to 700–900 in. E.) Is not very great. Here the company takes over the number, flooding the market on a par with Lenovo.

Acer

In the recent past, the company released masterpieces of reliability:

1. Sturdy housings from expensive industrial plastic.
2. Excellent hinges and cover fixings that did not break for a very long time.
3. Build quality is better than most.

In 2016, Acer will interest the buyer with good transformer laptops, which are represented in the budget and middle price segment. What a vendor many elegant models - so is Eyser. Better not to lose sight of the company, if you like a nice design electronics.

Models of the company are offered at affordable prices - it is not without reason that students can often be seen with company’s laptops. It is better to “probe” the OS using touch displays - a mandatory attribute of transformers.

Recently, the vendor "shot" worthy ultrabooks. The Swift series has moved from an average to a high price segment and now competes with Asus and Apple in their field. Swift 7 is a unique laptop. You can choose it for the thickness - less than 1 cm.

The reliability of new laptops Acer users often questioned. They are frequent guests in service centers and get there for a variety of reasons. It is difficult to single out what exactly is unreliable - but we will not recommend the budget segment of the brand for purchase.

Hewlett packard

Along with Dell, the company has earned a reputation as a reliable supplier of powerful technology for large businesses. Servers and thin clients, laptops and monitors - HP produces solutions for many tasks. Are her laptops better than other brands?

The range of products is wide and diverse:

• The company recently works towards gaming laptops. "Omen" differ in non-standard design and relatively low cost.
• Multimedia laptops. And what a choice of configurations ...
• Image technology with a focus on slim body.
• We advise you to choose amateurs to work away from outlets.
• Initially, they were reliable office laptops, now they are universal. Strict design, good body materials (aluminum).
• Dear business segment. In 2016, it is better to look for used models of this particular series, if you want to get excellent quality at minimal cost.
• Laptops for professionals. Equipped with non-standard video cards and generally powerful "stuffing".

In the latest HP models, the features of a particular line are getting worse. Transformers can be found in almost any series. HP equips its offspring with good keyboards, often with backlighting.

Like many other brands, here the budget series raises questions. Online you can find complaints about the build quality and frequent visits to the service. Sometimes HP laptops find it hard to find drivers.

Other manufacturers

Do you think that you have fully studied the laptop market, walking through a large electronics store? Take a closer look better! In 2016, you can find products from other manufacturers.

• This major laptop supplier makes big bets on the gaming segment. In 2016, the company offers five series of laptops for gamers and only two for all others. Standard models are not very attractive, the games are equipped with the latest components, mostly perfectly assembled and ergonomic. The disadvantages of products include design - if you do not like aggressive style, better pay attention to other brands.
• For a long time this famous brand from Japan dominated the premium segment. Choosing the best of the best meant “choosing Sony.” Top models boasted a Japanese (!) Assembly, a powerful configuration and a price tag that Apple would envy. By 2016, the company presents fewer models in the CIS market. The manufacturer has switched to the smartphone market, where it feels quite comfortable. Most likely, this is due to the huge competition from the Chinese and American giants.
• Fujitsu-Siemens. International firm with a glorious past. She repeated the fate of Sony - now finding FS products on the shelves of domestic stores is quite difficult. Many Fujitsu-Siemens mobile PCs could offer a German assembly, robust case materials and a long warranty.
  

• Dell's subsidiary is very good at producing powerful and beautiful gaming computers. Its models are presented in the medium-high price segment. They are distinguished by a peculiar, stylish design. The alien face on the logo has made Alienware quite recognizable and discussed by the brand.
• The American company has created a name for itself by producing gaming peripherals. If you ask a fan of games what kind of mouse he wants - the answer “Raiser” will be heard with high probability. The company has won an interesting segment - the most compact gaming laptops. But do not look at their dimensions - inside are advanced components.
• What brand, recently launched on the laptop market, do you remember? Perhaps Xiaomi is a manufacturer known for its affordable smartphones. In the struggle for market share, Xiaomi has released enough quality competitor for Apple laptops - miBook. The low price together with a decent bundle has already managed to attract quite a few buyers to the side of the new player.
