List of laptop brands and manufacturers

This is a list of laptop brands and manufacturers.

Original design manufacturers (ODMs)
The vast majority of laptops on the market are manufactured by a small handful of Taiwan-based original design manufacturers (ODM), although their production bases are located mostly in mainland China. Quanta Computer pioneered the contract manufacturing of laptops in 1988. By 1990, Taiwanese companies manufactured 11% of the world's laptops. That percentage grew to 32% in 1996, 50% in 2000, 80% in 2007 and 94% in 2011. The Taiwanese ODMs have since lost some market share to Chinese ODMs, but still manufactured 82.3% of the world's laptops in Q2 of 2019, according to IDC.

Major relationships include:
 * Quanta sells to (among others) HP, Lenovo, Apple, Acer, Dell, NEC, and Fujitsu
 * Compal sells to (among others) Acer, Dell, Lenovo, and HP
 * Wistron (former manufacturing & design division of Acer) sells to Acer, Dell, Lenovo, and HP
 * Inventec sells to HP, Dell, and Lenovo
 * Pegatron (in 2010, Asus spun off Pegatron) sells to Asus, Apple, Dell, Acer, and Microsoft
 * Foxconn sells to Asus, Dell, HP, and Apple
 * Flextronics (former Arima Computer Corporation notebook division) sells to HP
 * Clevo and Tongfang sell to different laptop manufacturers like Digital Storm, Eluktronics, Eurocom, Metabox, Sager, Schenker, System76, XMG, etc.

ODM laptop units sold and market shares
There is a discrepancy between the 2009 numbers due to the various sources cited; i.e. the units sold by all ODMs add up to 144.3 million laptops, which is much more than the given total of 125 million laptops. The market share percentages currently refer to those 144.3 million total. Sources may indicate hard drive deliveries to the ODM instead of actual laptop sales, though the two numbers may be closely correlated.
