Major brands and manufactures There is a multitude of laptop brands and manufacturers;

several major brands, offering notebooks in variousclasses, are listed in the table.

The major brands usually offer good service and support,including well-executed documentation and driverdownloads that will remain available for many years aftera particular laptop model is no longer produced.

Some brands are specializing in a particular class of laptops, such as gaming laptops (Alienware), selling high-performance laptops (Hp Envy), netbooks (EeePC) andlaptops for children (OLPC).

Many brands, including the major ones, do not design anddo not manufacture their laptops. Instead, a small numberof Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs) design newmodels of laptops, and the brands choose the models to beincluded in their lineup.

In 2006, 7 major ODMs manufactured 7 of every 10laptops in the world, with the largest one (QuantaComputer) having 30% world market share.

Therefore, there often are identical models available bothfrom a major label and from a low-profile ODM in-house

brand.

a growth of 33% compared to 2006. In 2008 it was estimatedthat 145.9 million notebooks were sold, and that the number

would grow in 2009 to 177.7 million. For Microsoft Windows systems, the average selling price

(ASP) showed a decline in 2008/2009, possibly due to low-cost netbooks, drawing US$689 at U.S. retail in August 2008.In 2009, ASP had further fallen to $602 by January and to

$560 in February. While Windows machines fell $129 in these seven months,Mac laptop ASP declined just $12 from $1,524 to $1,512.

Sales growth Last year was one of the most discouraging for PC makers as

consumers hit hard by the recession started pinching theirpennies.

But 2010 saw a big reversal of last year's decline: Gartner

released data on Tuesday that showed mobile PCs grew to justunder 50 million units during the first quarter of 2010. That's an increase of 43.4 percent from the same quarter a year

ago, good enough to be the best quarter for mobile PC makersin eight years.

Intel profits jumped 433 percent for the first quarter, comparedto the same period a year ago, mostly thanks to the strength of its mobile chip sales.

Though they did well, the first quarter of 2010 could alsobe the last hurrah for mininotebooks, or Netbooks. They

saw a spike in growth of 71 percent from the same period ayear ago, but in some geographic regions their sales arealready beginning to slow.

That's because consumers are "beginning to understandthe limitations of mininotebooks, especially in the face of aggressive price cuts of regular notebooks," said Gartneranalyst Mika Katagawa.

The average mobile PC was sold for $732, compared to ayear ago, when the average price was $868.
