Top 5 Most Trusted Laptop Manufacturers
Top 5 Most Reliable Laptop Manufacturers
5 Lenovo
Country: China
Rating (2022): 4.5
A Chinese manufacturer that focuses on budget and mid-budget gadgets, where it shows good results in terms of product quality. Of course, Lenovo has enough breakdowns, which is inevitable if you want to save on hardware, without which you cannot offer an affordable price. Particularly affected are pseudo-gaming models with discrete video cards that die at almost the first overheating, because the Chinese also save on the cooling system. On average, taking into account the number of calls to the service against the backdrop of large-scale sales of the company, the Lenovo brand holds a high bar and offers reliable laptops for home or work.
The best option in the brand line is Lenovo Ideapad L340-15IWL. This is a quality laptop with a durable Intel Core i3 8145U CPU and an almost indestructible SSD on board. There is no discrete graphics card and no extra bells and whistles, which only increases the durability of the model.
4 Dell
Country: USA
Rating (2022): 4.7
About ten years ago, the products of this company were considered one of the most reliable and durable in the world, but since then Dell has somewhat lost ground, although it continues to be among the leaders.Almost all American-brand laptops offer excellent functionality and a high-quality balance of hardware against the background of well-thought-out design, so that all breakdowns are directly related to the reduced quality of components. According to the tradition of the last five years, HDDs most often fail, then problems with discrete video cards are often recorded, so Dell gaming laptops are not among the best in terms of reliability.
In the list of the most indestructible models of this manufacturer, the DELL G3 15 3590 with Intel Core i7 and a 512 GB SSD on board is in the lead. This modification is great for both home and work and receives a lot of feedback, the main complaint among which is most often possible overheating at high loads, i.e. demanding games on it is better not to run.
3 MSI
Country: Taiwan
Rating (2022): 4.7
MSI specializes in predominantly top-end gaming solutions, and here this brand is in the lead not only in terms of performance, but also in terms of product durability. Most often, MSI laptops are sent to the service due to problems with hard drives (HDD), so it’s better to look at models with SSD, for example, the MSI GF63 Thin in the 9RCX-846XRU modification receives a lot of positive feedback, which perfectly squeezes out the potential of the Intel Core i7 9750H CPU without excessive tendency to overheat, although the latter is sometimes fixed.
On the other hand, this model was no exception and inherited the common problem of all laptops from this manufacturer - the flimsy design of the touchpad, which is too poor quality for products with a high price tag and often fails during the first couple of years of operation. There are no other obvious and regular breakdowns with MSI, which confirms the good reputation of the brand.
2 Apple
Country: USA
Rating (2022): 4.8
An American company that produces the best premium laptops for work, which are a priori considered reliable and durable due to their status. However, Apple products also periodically break down and tend to overheat under high continuous loads, so much so that in 2019 the manufacturer itself recognized its gadgets as a fire hazard and launched a battery replacement program. Another weak point of this brand is the proprietary design of the keyboard, which also has a separate replacement program in the event of a breakdown.
The 2016-2019 MacBook Pro model often also suffered from uneven backlighting at the bottom of the screen. The display itself is of high quality, but the length of the cable let us down: after repeated openings of the lid, it was damaged, and often after the warranty expired. Otherwise, Apple laptops do not cause strong complaints and they rarely visit service centers.
The most common laptop failures according to Russian service centers:
| Breaking | % of total hits | Most likely causes |
Hard drives | 21% | The compact design reduces reliability against the background of constant vibration loads when moving the laptop. HDDs are the most commonly affected |
Motherboards and their elements | 17% | Minimal gaps between structural elements reduce cooling efficiency, which leads to board operation in conditions of frequent overheating |
Display | 16% | The desire to reduce the thickness of the device at the same time lowers the quality of the matrices, which leads to their burnout, plus the cables often break due to the need to constantly open / close the lid |
Keyboard | 12% | The design features of the laptop case lead to a decrease in the strength of the keyboard attachment, plus the small thickness of the device makes it necessary to simplify the key mechanisms |
Discrete graphics card | 10% | The presence of a discrete graphics card complicates the cooling process, which leads to its constant operation at high temperatures |
Charger socket and USB ports | 10% | The desire to save money forces the manufacturer to use cheap connectors with a low life resource. |
1 ASUS
Country: Taiwan
Rating (2022): 4.8
A well-known manufacturer with a very good reputation in terms of the quality of its products. Not without sin, it often saves on fans in cooling systems, because of which the latter make a lot of noise, but in general, this brand's cooling is at a good level even in budget models. Moreover, ASUS is better than other companies in adapting AMD processors, which are famous for their tendency to heat up. This is especially true of the non-gaming VivoBook line, which in the current realities can be safely attributed to the segment of indestructible laptops for work or home.
Among the most durable gaming, judging by the reviews, ASUS TUF Gaming FX505. This model has many modifications, but all of them offer a high-quality selection of components, although it is better to bypass versions with an onboard HDD due to the general tendency of hard drives to break down. The Achilles' heel of ASUS products is a constructive solution for attaching the keyboard, which is why it is constantly pressed through the center.
