And who cares who is the biggest vendor? I would never buy a laptop based on who is the biggest vendor. the two biggest in HP and Acer suck.. I bought an ASUS, the company with the #1 most reliable laptops. and then my next choices would be Sony or Toshiba.. (#2 and #3 in reliability)
@deepen03 Agree with the thought on why to/not to buy a laptop. But to answer, the company and it's PR people care, as do it's stockholders, it's competitors and the stockholder's of their competitors.
Now, onto the meat, if they are selling more it means they are doing something right. Yes, it isn't what is important to a well informed buyer, but people who want quality have to put in quality (even if just a 5 min Google search) research to find what to buy. Then again, the companies you list in your top 3 have their own inherent problems, only one I'd actually buy from would be ASUS.
@deepen03 call me nuts but i have this crazy idea that investors do care a bit that the company they put their money in is number one... this announcement was made to INVESTORS
@deepen03 Want something reliable? Get yourself a ThinkPad T series. You can try luck with Dell Latitude or HP EliteBook series, they are pretty solid. . Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES you should buy a consumer laptop. They are all crap, independently on vendor - Apple being a notable exception on the consumer market. . Buy a business oriented machine. All vendors know, that it they screw their business customers, they will screw themselves, so business hardware tends to be better built and uses better components. Also the support is better.
Sony's just released a 15.5-inch addition to its VAIO S Series that not only adds a crucial bit of extra display acreage, but also bumps things up to a full 1080p.

@deepen03 I was under the impression that HP Pavillion desktops and their all in ones were supposed to be rather decent.

@deepen03
Arent Sony, HP & Toshiba laptops all made by the same company Clevo ?
@deepen03
Asus used to be really poor but now they produce some really, really good machines. Acer, on the other hand, are utter shit.
