Highest rated laptops in consumer magazine

I have just received my latest issue of a top consumer magazine (Consumer Reports) and it tested 31 laptops ranking them with an overall score based on 100 points.

Apple fanboys should not be surprised that the Apple brand scored high, but that they scored highest in each size category was outstanding. Ratings were also done on support for the different makes, where Apple was the only company to score a solid red for all the categories, both laptops(84/100) and desktops(81/100).

Problem solved, Phone waits, Phone staff and Online support were surveyed.  HP/Compaq scored lowest in both desktop(50/100) and laptop(53/100) support.
