HP and Dell Still Dominating U.S. PC Sales

Of all these, Apple is by far the most reliable, BY FAR. Apples are reliably and consistently being overpriced, giving low performance, having little compatibility, and they ALWAYS cant be upgraded. talk about reliable!

Yeah, so much of this stuff all ends up coming out of the same building (not just the MoBos but the connectors and components) it really doesn't matter who's sticker is on the outside case nowadays or even on the MoBo. It reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer was touring the Duff brewery and they're showing the different vats with the different brands of Duff beer, the Original, Light and new upcoming Draft and they all split from the same pipe.

[citation][nom]bustapr[/nom]Im really surprised that Acer isnt at the top. They are the laptops I see everyone use, I never see any Dells and less hp. And Acer is pretty cheap. I still dont understand these things. And Apple selling more than Toshiba, theres a surprise...[/citation]
ahh but you see, every time i see someone with a laptop, its a Toshiba. so this is how it all balances out my friend

However, toshiba is dirt, HP is dirt (when it comes to laptops), dell is dirt, (but not always tech support i suppose), and acer..wow, don't get me started on that crap. Asus all the way!

nice to see American companies (and windows) on top. now if only the chart included home built PCs.

I was kindly surprised to see ASUS listed. I have a thing for ASUS; will be switching to their (high-quality) laptops next.

Dell + Linux = Best thing out there unless you're building your own.

Surprising I thought acer is on the top. Hp have lots of problems even on their customer support.

Hey, people. For all of you complaining that ______ is too _____ (fill in the blanks ), remember three things:
1. You are posting on an enthusiasts' site.
2. For the vast majority of users, "good enough" is good enough.
3. The huge number of appliance users drives down costs for the rest of us.
