The best manufacturers of reliable laptops in terms of price-quality ratio

Let's start with the obvious in terms of importance for the consumer of the parameter, which is also the most difficult when it comes to a particular choice. It's about value for money. Our experts have identified four manufacturers who are known mainly for their sturdy "workhorses" at an affordable price.

DELL

Rating: 4.9

The first manufacturer on our list is a huge American corporation with a rich and ancient history. DELL produces a wide range of electronics of various kinds, among which there are premium and even gaming laptops (after buying AlienWare). But the mass consumer knows and appreciates this brand precisely for economy models and middle class laptops.

Most of the model series of DELL laptops are made in a metal (aluminum) case - this is an indisputable plus. A characteristic feature of DELL laptops is a comfortable keyboard with large spacing between the keys, most of which has moisture-resistant qualities.

The technological basis for almost all DELL laptops is the Intel CPU in a wide range of variations - from Core i3 to i7.

A separate plus is the use of the Waves MaxxAudioPro technology, which allows you to accurately recognize the voice of the corresponding software, reduces background noise during voice communication, adds stereo effects to the standard sound.

The closest examples of series with acceptable performance at an affordable price are VOSTRO, compact LATITUDE and, of course, the well-known INSPIRON.

ASUS

Rating: 4.8

The second brand in our rating is not less, or even more known and loved by the mass consumer than the previous one. Belongs to the Chinese corporation AsusTek Computer Inc. It produces a wide range of electronics, an impressive share of which is occupied by high-performance laptops at affordable prices.In terms of price-quality ratio, ASUS products, according to many independent expert assessments, literally “breathe in the back of the head” of DELL Corporation, lagging behind it literally by one or two points.

A noticeable advantage of ASUS 'best-priced and performance notebooks is the quality of materials and workmanship. This is really the best choice for “field conditions”, long-term comfortable operation with not the most careful attitude to the device.

Another factor characteristic of ASUS is the lightning-fast introduction and adaptation of innovations. The company's engineers are working 24/7 to develop bright new products for a particular parameter. And if the innovation is created by a third-party developer, here you can be 100% sure that ASUS will translate it into its next creation in the most record time.

But where companies would have to “pull themselves up” is in terms of feedback, service and user support. For example, ASUS’s web support is frankly weak.

HP

Rating: 4.8

Next in the ranking from expert.bigbadmole.com/en/en/ is the American company Hewlett-Packard. Mass user has already become more familiar with the abbreviated brand name - HP.

In different periods, various series of inexpensive and sturdy laptops were released under the HP brand - they were Pavillion, Inspiron and a whole range of others. All of them were united by a whole set of remarkable properties - high build quality, ease of use, reliability and durability.

Last but not least, the stability of HP laptops at work and their “vitality” in general is ensured by a tough company policy aimed at adhering to high quality standards regarding components. Hewlett-Packard doesn’t really stint on the quality of materials and parts even in budget notebooks, not to mention the middle-class devices.

Against the background of all these advantages, HP laptops have one offensive flaw - a noticeable percentage of cooling problems. Of course, this is not a one hundred percent regularity, and it varies from series to series. But our experts recommend that before selecting a particular model, you should thoroughly examine user feedback on this particular parameter.

Lenovo

Rating: 4.7

And this brand is completing the rating group, which does not cause any doubts regarding the optimal price-quality ratio. Lenovo laptops are truly mass products, a great opportunity to get quite reasonable money and reliable machine for reasonable money. For the sake of fairness, it is worth mentioning that Lenovo does not disown the most demanding users, and the company's offer contains quite elite, expensive series and even game models.

As a manufacturer, the Chinese corporation Lenovo Group Limited is a powerful market heavyweight, in some positions unmatched in the world. Lenovo and IBM's historic collaboration is a separate and very impressive story (until 2010, Lenovo even had the right to use the IBM brand to label its products).

If we talk about the disadvantages of Lenovo laptops, here the most noticeable is such a moment. The manufacturer is often too hasty with the release of a new product on the market, because of which there is a noticeable percentage of engineering flaws and other miscalculations. Of course, this does not apply to the whole range of products, otherwise the company would have gone bankrupt a long time ago, but our specialists recommend choosing not to try to catch the latest product, but wait for feedback from the first users.

Top Premium Notebook Makers

The second group of manufacturers in our rating is the companies known for their laptops, which are without any reservations belong to the premium class. If you consider a laptop not only as a working tool, but also as an element of style and status, then “you are here.”

Apple

Rating: 4.9

Despite the fact that this company with its logo in the form of a bitten apple is not familiar to wild tribes anywhere in Polynesia (and even that is not a fact), some of the main points for which Apple laptops are so loved and respected around the world, still worth it if not clear, then remind.

Reliability, stability and durability - these words have already filled the edge of teeth in places, but with respect to Apple laptops it is just difficult to say anything else. These devices really work "as it should." Of course, there is nothing 100% flawless in the world, but Apple laptops are closest to this flawlessness. You can be completely sure that the MacBook (Pro or Air - it does not matter) and in a year, and after three will work exactly the same as the first day after purchase. Such a fairly common phenomenon, as the “degeneration” and clogging of the system, typical of other platforms, is almost completely absent in Apple laptops with a native operating system.

The company also pays close attention to ergonomics and the quality of materials. To say that Apple is a pleasure to work behind a laptop is to say nothing. And this is not subjectivity, everything says about it - design, mechanics, structural features, even individual small details. Over time, nothing loosens, does not play, does not creak, does not fall off.

You can continue to praise Apple laptops for a long time, but this is already enough. We add only that the whole complex of advantages gives rise to one very important consequence - the exceptionally high liquidity of a used laptop. If a laptop from any other manufacturer looses its price in half, as soon as you take it out of the store, then a MacBook can be sold in a year for 70% of the market value.

Microsoft

Rating: 4.8

And the second manufacturer in the premium laptop rating group is Microsoft. It may seem strange to some people, as the top software maker has “bothered” into the company to the Hardware manufacturers, and even premium laptops. But knowledgeable people understand what they mean. Let us clarify this moment for our reader.

In view of the obviousness of Microsoft’s specialization, the range of laptops under this brand is, to put it mildly, small. But what is there definitely deserves attention. Of course, this is a series of laptops Microsoft Surface Laptop.

No matter how blasphemous it may sound to Apple fans, but the most important technical characteristics of Surface in their pure form really give odds to any “apple” laptop. About this direct text, without any conventions stated already at the presentation of Surface last year, Vice President of Microsoft Panos Panay. According to him, "Surface Laptop is lighter and thinner than any MacBook ... it is more powerful and works longer in offline mode." And if you look at the electronic "stuffing" of this beautiful brainchild of Microsoft, its physical and ergonomic indicators, then Panai will have to admit.

Of course, the domination of Microsoft Surface in particular does not make Apple laptops worse than they are, as the technology of this class should be considered as a whole.It only says that Apple laptops have a truly worthy competitor.

Top gaming notebook manufacturers

The next group in our ranking of the best laptop makers is special. Here we will talk about companies that have taken on an extremely difficult task - to develop and produce gaming laptops that would not be inferior to desktop computers. Exertology specialists identified three manufacturers in the modern market, who not only set this task, but also successfully cope with it.

MSI

Rating: 4.9

The abbreviation MSI stands for Micro-Star International - this is what (with the prefix Co., Ltd) is a Taiwanese company that has been producing high-quality electronics since 1986.

MSI joined the “club” of manufacturers of high-grade gaming laptops relatively recently, but to the full extent on all fronts. The MSI GAMING line includes a whole set of gaming notebook series: Titan, Dominator, Stealth, Phantom, and others, in a wide variety of versions and configuration options.

MSI does not save on the most important functional modules and equips gaming laptops with the most powerful and productive processors, video cards, memory. Cooling uses patented Cooler Boost Titan technology. Models with screens ranging from 15 to as much as 18 inches are on sale.

The design of MSI gaming laptops, for the most part, is very pleasing - futuristic shapes, broken straight lines, bright, aggressive colors in details, hypnotizing iridescent backlights - all this is quite conducive to creating an appropriate entourage for sophisticated gamers.

One more plus of the company - the division of innovations, has brought the lightning speed to embody all the brightest novelties, inventions and ideas in the new series.

Razer

Rating: 4.8

Continues the rating of manufacturers of gaming laptops company that is well known to every gamer. And if it’s not known, we’ll emphasize that since its very first days, Razer has specialized in the production of gaming devices. Therefore, the Razer "gaming" absolutely everything, just by definition - the mouse, keyboard, accessories and, of course, laptops.

Gaming laptops Razer, namely - the Razer Blade series is famous for its beautiful and sturdy case, made of aviation anodized aluminum, covered with a special composition, giving a characteristic shade.

The most recent generation of Blade has another technical point, which the manufacturer emphasizes as achievement and pride. This is a unique backlit keyboard, which now has a fantastic number of modes. If suddenly a gamer has such a desire, you can assign a different color to each key - this will help more than 16 million combinations of shades available. So, in terms of keyboard personalization, the long-standing confrontation between Razer, MSI and Alienware can surely be considered complete. Razer left two other companies far behind.

Alienware

Rating: 4.7

Just say, at the moment (since 2006) the company AlienWare belongs to the technological giant DELL and formally is its subsidiary structure. But due to takeover, AlienWare has not ceased to be a separate company with its own philosophy, vision, mission and objectives. Its history is very similar to the history of the creation and development of another manufacturer of products for gamers - Razer.It was founded by real fans, who stood for their cause.

In the production of any product, including gaming laptops, AlienWare pays extremely close attention to two points - everything regarding the appearance (design, style, lighting, artifacts, “gadgets”); and performance - AlienWare engineers are doing everything to squeeze the most out of hardware, especially in terms of graphics. Admittedly, they succeed, which is why AlienWare and ranked in expert.bigbadmole.com/en/en/.

In addition to image moments and emphasis on performance, AlienWare does not forget about innovations as well, constantly introducing something new, but a hundred times tested. Actually, it was AlienWare that, in its time, basically brought the first full-fledged gaming laptop to the market, then the first laptop with dual graphics followed it.

Before the takeover, DELL AlienWare was a very small company that worked only for the USA, Canada and only 4 European countries. Until now, the portfolio is not so big, and gaming laptops offer only three series. However, DELL plans to actively develop this direction, so, perhaps in the near future, AlienWare will please us with new wonderful products.

The best manufacturer of inexpensive and compact laptops

And completes our rating another category - budget and small models of laptops. Here experts expert.bigbadmole.com/en/ came to the conclusion that the palm should deservedly give a single company.

Acer

Rating: 4.8

This manufacturer, under the brand name which produces countless series and modifications of laptops of various form factors, capacities and price categories. In this wide range, noticeable space is reserved for compact laptops at an affordable price. Actually, it is on budget models that emphasis is placed in terms of market development, and it is this factor that the company deserves respect.

Acer is a Taiwanese company that has been manufacturing quality and for the most part inexpensive electronics for over 40 years. Currently in the segment of low-cost compact laptops in terms of the number of sales it has almost no equal in the world. At least, if you take Russia, Eastern and Western Europe, then this is true. One of the most popular and recognizable series is Aspire.

Acer compact laptops are reliable “typewriters”, durable, strong and quite nimble, as for such a price for the most part. Of course, in terms of design and aesthetic taste, Acer laptops are far from gaming or premium models, but the manufacturer didn’t have such a task.
