When searching for the best laptop brands for 2011, you’ll come across some well-known brands. Some brands of laptops have become household names, and even people who don’t consider themselves tech-savvy may recognize those names.
There may be some surprises this year when it comes to the top brands. There have been some companies that have largely sat on the sidelines trying to get their feet wet that may actually surprise some people this year.
The Giants
Dell, HP, Sony, Compaq are all the best laptop brands for 2011, not because they are releasing something too new or amazing, but because they are simply the most well known and people seem to flock to them.
Apple and their MAC laptops are also a popular brand and some people just go crazy for them and would never use anything Windows based, but Apple still doesn’t have those laptops in the market for comparable prices that other brands have. This makes them semi-popular, but really keeps them down on the list of best computer brands for 2011.
Surprise Containers
There are some surprise contenders making their way up the food chain. Brands like Lenovo, Acer, and MSI are inching their way up the ladder to top PC brands.
What makes these contenders strong enough to take on the IT giants? Simple -savings- these brands produce high performance machines at a low cost. People are beginning to realize that you don’t have to pay more than $2,000 to find a machine that works well and meets your needs.
