Lenovo has claimed the top spot from Apple in Laptop Mag's annual brand ranking. The Cupertino giant fell to 5th place due to controversial design changes in its Macbook and Macbook Pro lines.

Who cares about brands if they include so many series? Thinkpads or Latitudes are the best in build quality, durability, reliability and warranty, but XPS are just ticking bombs, and constantly failing. How to rate Dell in this case? Take an average? That's completely useless for recommendation (or not) of a computer - you either recommend well built series and advise against poor ones, or better not spread misinformation. I can only guess that rankings like these are just pushing agendas.
