When you think about laptops of today, it’s possible or more than likely the first device to come into your head is a Macbook? It wouldn’t be a surprise as Apple seem to be dominating the world at present with their products. So what about the contenders that used to be top of the list. How are Toshiba doing these days? Toshiba: Best and worst laptop brands of 2014 The good news is that Toshiba improved over the past year, increasing its overall score from a lowly 56 to 68 (out of 100). The bad news is that the brand still placed seventh out of nine companies in our report. Sounds as though the AMD-powered Click hybrid could do with a replacement battery to grab onto when it looses its juice. It seems the battery life was just too short, plummeting it’s rating into the depths of disappointment. The Toshiba Portege R705 did a little better in the ratings, achieving the number 2 spot up against…you guessed it the Macbook Pro! Apple do have some beautiful looking products, that certainly can’t be denied. They are pretty awesome at how they perform too, but should they really be the first port of call? Are they really all they are cracked up to be? Are competitors even getting in look in due to Apple domination? Apple’s MacBook Air dominates with 56% of U.S. thin-and-light notebook market “The MacBook Air, all by its lonesome, has captured the majority of the total thin-and-light laptop market, according to data from NPD,” Brooke Crothers reports for CNET. That report may have been for 2013, however, it’s pretty much expected to remain the same or increase even more for 2014. Not only on their sales of Macbooks but also iPhones and of course the iPad. So if you’re in the market for a new laptop, take some time to check out those competitors that are living in the shadows of the big Apple!
