Most Popular Computer Brands 1996 - 2023 (updated)

[@markjam55]

My first computer was a DELL that my dad brought back from a business trip and it came with Windows 7 or Vista, I don't even remember, but until last year it worked very well.

[@Andrea-A5p]

One complained about Windows Vista or 7 without first knowing the next versions, I literally just moved to 11 and I'm regretting a little bit of having done it.

[@markjam55]

I'm still on 10 for fear of that happening to me, but I would like to know where you got it so that when I change I have a reference.

[@Andrea-A5p]

Well, my Windows 11 is from BNH Software and despite my complaints, I haven't had any operational problems, but rather performance problems with some games.

[@X150t]

No one ever believes me when I tell them Others is a great computer brand.

[@IronPickMinecraft]

😂

[@GamerBruh13]

💀

[@jamesofficial6829]

My first computer was the Others brand and I loved it!!! 😂Lol No but seriously the first computer I had back as a kid in the 90's was a custom built Pentium II MMX 233 with Windows 95 32 MB of ram, a 24x CD-ROM drive and a 32 bit Video card Expert Color Pro it was called Lol. My dad paid about $2000 at the time knowing that computers were going to be the way of the future. I miss my dad he was the best dad ever!😭

[@marvin902x]

Never had something else then Others. Makes absolutly no sence for me to buy a brand. I am building my own computers and ever did so. Thats the only way to have full control of all the parts.

[@OldAussieAds]

Does Others play Crysis?

[@youtuber-tc8yk]

My first computer was Toshiba Satellite. 2 gb ram, 500 gb hard drive. It was the most costly one that time, and I still have it :)

[@dwaynelangerhr6985]

lucky you my first computer was a Vic 20. 4K ram and a Tape drive. the first computer that I learned on was an I don't know. We had a Dumb terminal in school. we used a modem to call it. there was a paper print out for the screen and saved our programs on a paper Tape. God I am old.

[@dwaynelangerhr6985]

@souradeepghosh7559 IF you have not owned a Commodore, you have not had a real computer.

[@Random_User_42069]

i still have a 59gb asus laptop

[@redsquarejay]

How much?

[@frankroni]

My VERY first computer was a Timex Sinclair. It had 1K of memory. NO drive storage, not even tape. You entered a simple program of no more than 1,000 total characters. When you turned it off you could not save the program. Monitor was a TV. It cost $99 assembled or $49 if you wanted to assemble it yourself. Not very practical, but that's how I learned. My computer #2 was a Radio Shack CoCo. Still have it.

[@simonbutterfield4860]

Otherwise known as a Sinclair ZX80.

[@mymomsaysimcool9650]

Watching this on my 2011 HP Pavilion notebook. It’s been on almost continuously since the spring of 2011.

[@KTPurdy]

still with original fan?

[@N1hockeyfan]

Plot twist you started writing this comment in 2017 😂😂

[@leokimvideo]

Really exposes what IBM threw away in the early 80's. Wow what a huge mistake

[@jimmybellmon1268]

They didn't think the home PC would take off, then it was too late

[@relangisivakumar495]

Lol.. ibm still exists.. they are renamed as lenovo after being sold to Chinese

[@techbaffle]

I didn't realise how popular Lenovo are now - I always assumed they were like 4th of 5th most popular!

[@raynash4748]

Cheaply made.

[@MrVariant]

Lol that would be the others 🤣

[@M167A1]

Widely used in business

[@jackjackum]

I thought Dell would be further down the list. The only Dells i see are old laptops from the 00s that people kept

[@techbaffle]

@@jackjackum The XPS line I think is pretty popular though. I have a Dell myself so probably a bit biased 😂

[@techbaffle]

My first computer was an eMachines T-Series tower with Windows XP Home Edition, running an Intel Celeron, 128 MB of RAM, 80GB Hard Drive, with a CD, DVD and floppy drive 😀

[@scottkrafft6830]

That must've been a dog! My first was a Dell Dimension with 2GB and a 120GB hard drive. Oh, and a 2.8Ghz Pentium 4. It was still usable into the late 2010s!

[@arejayseeottawa]

My first computer, which I got as a Christmas present 25 years ago, was a clone, which would belong with "others!"

[@dwaynelangerhr6985]

Basically, all computers are clones they were based on the IBM 8088 processer even the ones made today. So, Compaq, HP, Hewlett Packard and ECT. were all IBM clones.

[@mathiaspedersen7171]

I like how people back in the day, knew not to buy apple.

[@leung63401]

It is also applicable in these day.

[@rolandsmash]

Evidently you don’t even have to "buy Apple" for it to live rent-free in your head. 🌚

[@Waterfirerockair]

Yeah Apple products are a ripoff, I only prefer IPhones because in my opinion they’re more ez but any other product is bad

[@raheem201231]

@@Waterfirerockair such as

[@epic_paul27]

Apple was just almost about to go out of business back then until Steve Jobs came back. Apple products aren't ripoffs today. It all comes down to personal preference.

[@quicksilver462]

Still using an HP slimline w7 from 12/2011, it is on 24/7/365, only real problem I had with it was the power supply went bad after five years, replaced it and had no problems since, only upgraded the cpu, and the ram!

[@Jo-Jo8vs]

Hmm, but you know there has been no security support for years. Each time you connect to the Internet, you are easy prey for advanced hackers. Maybe you don't notice this because they use your computer as a relay. Only when the police knock on your door and ask you about internet crimes done with your PC, will you find out?

[@martinbynion1589]

Toshiba got on the charts selling only laptops. Legendary.

[@remiremi3745]

All of these brands are laptops sellers, no one except apple does such thing as selling the whole pc

[@atharvaarya5007]

Literally almost every single one of these brands make pcs

[@paulpapadopoulosZ570]

TOSHIBA is the king, 👑 respect to the TOSHIBA 🙏🏻

[@paulpapadopoulosZ570]

I have Toshiba Qosmio G50 laptop from 2008 with amazing desing amazing speaker's by Harman kardon, with Windows 10 Pro 500 gb Samsung SSD 860 and 4GB RAM DDR2 and the laptop is amazing his works perfectly !

My first computer was a Commodore VIC-20!

[@seanthoman2676]

[@ashleywalls4097]

Commodore 64 here

[@abinashtarai6067]

Mine is asus

[@KTPurdy]

1983 - Atari 1200XL

[@simonbutterfield4860]

Mine was an Acorn Electron.

[@user-glg20]

I am really amazed that there was no MSI which is very popular among gamers

[@GuyCezar-pf2vc]

But gamers are not popular so, and their setup pc are very expensive so 🤷

[@yangkerino4473]

is MSI a great brand? planning to buy their bravo 15 laptop

[@JoeSK2]

​@@yangkerino4473not really, their low budget lineup is known for its bad build quality and the hinges. I would wait for reviews first

[@tholo86]

Its in the ''Others''

[@davefranklyn7730]

My first computer was a Commodore VIC 20. I then upgraded to a Commodore 64 and then an Amiga 128. My first PC type I had was a Radio Shack Tandy 3000 NL I bought in 1989.

[@marklangren3142]

My first work computer was an Apple 2e, upgraded to the first IBM PC with a HD in the twin cities. My first personal computer I built. Presently built my own desktop Dell laptop and no name tablets

[@captainkeyboard1007]

My first microcomputer was Cybernet. It was an American-made model. It enabled me to learn to use Microsoft Windows XP Professional like a computer technician, and it had Microsoft Office XP Professional that enabled me to work higher than just a keyboard specialist (that is, a typist with strong keyboarding skills). In 2017, I bought my first Dell microcomputer, but replaced it with an advanced Dell microcomputer that works great, as you may read my accurately-typed comment. I call my microcomputer my Keyboard, because it is my powerful typewriter. I enjoy using it a lot. Keep the shows coming through!🙂

[@ElectricoGamez]

(P.s. Music is "Epic Motivation" & "Epic Motivation 2" by music artist "Roman Cano")

[@HappyPlaysWasTaken]

Others is my favorite brand

[@Ak..Edits4]

😂😂

[@ElectricoGamez]

Finally another upload from Captain Gizmo! I'm wondering what took him so long... Also where is Gateway on this list?

[@Lyothere]

Read the description

[@CaptainGizmo]

The data videos were getting few views so I was trying out other types of videos, but those got even less views. So I would end up deleting them so they don't drag the channel down.

[@V3ntilator]

Computer Wars in 1980's were extreme and should have been included.

[@bobmorane2082]

Yes after 94-95 it’s the pc compatible era so obviously pc wins

[@V3ntilator]

@@bobmorane2082 Yeah, it ended with Amiga. MAC were never relevant. PC were alone the last 30 years after Commodore went bankrupt. Atari ST were nowhere looked at a competitor either, MAC were never a competitor to anything. It were vs Commodore from 1982-1994-95. In 1980's there were also ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro, Dragon 64 and other in on the computer war.

[@conradbo1]

I really like this video. It explains a lot in a short period of time.

[@RealAyzeNZ]

I want to get me an "Others" computer

[@haoiliforyou]

Lol

[@jasonalex7640]

yes true but apple computers are expensive so brands like lenovo or acer are cheaper@@haoiliforyou

[@deristfrei]

i ave One, an you could too. Only buy components and build them. Take the Quality in your Own Hand.

[@Yucaste]

My first computer was a Compaq pentium II, 128 MB of RAM 10gb hard drive, year 1999

[@skeptikalmyndz8157]

I have been using Other's for 36 years now and so far nothing much has changed and it is still a good machine.

[@TruColor]

My first was an Atari Mega ST with 2MB RAM and a 30MB external HD. But it had built-in MIDI ports!

[@gamingtonight1526]

Starting in 1996 INSTEAD of 1986 devalues this video.

[@BenjyDale]

My desktop is an Asus and my laptop is a Lenovo, so that puts me at the bottom of the list and the top of the list at the same time hehe! My 1st computer was a BBC Micro from 1981, from the early age of home computers. If we're talking the era in this video (1996-2023), then my 1st PC I had was from a local PC shop, so would have been classed as 'others' on this list. It was a Pentium II with 350MHz, March 1999

[@mythrandir8118]

still using lenovo G-40 from 2014, its still rocking out to this day. This is why they're GOAT

[@pranavbalaji7864]

Having built a custom rig, I have successfully bought a PC from “others”. And hope my LG gram too comes under “others”

[@rickdeckard2240]

I bought my MB Pro back in 2013, with full on RAM and SSD at 1TB. Cost an arm for sure, I really thought I was crazy when I bought. But I still use it every day, watching this video and commenting with it right now, and I don't regret that 11 years ago decision at all.

TOSHIBA, TOSHIBA IS THE LEGEND TOSHIBA IS THE BOSS OF THE LAPTOPS, i have Toshiba Qosmio G50 and his works perfectly, i love TOSHIBA

[@Arshan_Editz1014]

I'm using Lenovo! 😀😁

[@dipak_rathod]

Me too

[@amirpixel81]

Over the years, large companies have succeeded in removing small or other competitors from the market, which means their empire and monopoly will put pressure on the people.

[@syahrialdi]

it's better to omit "others" if it's a bunch of several brands

[@ScottCleve33]

I think others is largely the generic no name pc clones that were budget options. They were sold at electronic stores or online.

[@Mega_Casual]

What consists of "Others"? Home built or custom builds from scratch? My first PC was by a mail order company called Compu-Add, Then a Gateway 2000, Then 2 home builds, then Dells and Macs.

[@reno145]

Commodore Vic 20 got me into computers. I wish I still had it, or a Commodore 64. Some fun, simple games back in the day.

[@maniackolder]

Got my Dell in 2008. After few upgrades and replaced parts still just as quick as anything new Ive used today

[@kiyaniamc]

Great effort. 👍 It would be much appreciated if the "others" category was elaborated, like which brands comprised "others"?

[@crpggamer]

We have Lenovo PCs at work and they're really good quality, have good warranty support, and it's easy to install the BIOS/Driver updates with the software tools they provide. Personally, if I'm going to get my own laptop I usually get a Razer one because I like the build quality. I like the their trackpads a lot. If I'm going to build a desktop I usually pick parts from between ASUS, Gigabyte, and MSI.

[@ryanmick8090]

My first computer was an eMachines EL1360g, 4gb ram I upgraded to 8, 500gb hard drive I upgraded to 1 tb ssd, with a dvd cd drive. I still use it

[@nucIeer]

Man, I dunno who this +Others brand is, but they must make some KILLER PCs

[@DaffaZero-i3j]

Wow, I didn't expect that back in the days, Lenovo and HP were already available when the computer was released, and after the release of the laptop, those 2 brands immediately became popular. It is proven that now I often see laptops from hp/Lenovo on average because of that.

[@ice_fox]

I had a 133mhz Pentium running Win95 made by this cool Mom and Pop shop called PC Corner in rural SC. So much fun on that thing.. 😊

[@oeao2841]

My first computer was that iMac in late 90s early 2000s it was orange 🍊 colored

[@flickering_wick]

I'm gonna rush out and buy stock in "Others"

[@andrewscott7728]

I'll never forget the day Lenovo overtook PlusOthers to become the number 1 brand.

[@NITISHBHATT008]

HP Compaq Presario SR1050NX, my first machine.

[@datainmotion3996]

great statistic video

[@roberthaas1016]

At work I have an acer and my coworkers use HP too. At home I still have a Fujitsu Amilo and an Apple MacBook Pro. I had an Lenovo ThinkPad but gave it to my aunt.

[@arjuntrehan48]

Can someone explain what is others ??

[@CaptainGizmo]

It includes Google, LG, Razer, Microsoft, MSI, Samsung, etc. Huge companies, but very niche computers.

[@jamesofficial6829]

I own a Acer laptop and I love it. The only thing I hate about it is that the touch pad for it stopped working but that's okay because I prefer using a mouse instead anyway. I don't understand why its on the bottom of the list.

[@WinVisturn]

My first laptop was a Others Press any key to boot from CD or DVD, and it costed me $3! The Press any key to boot from CD or DVD laptop was great, it came with 20MB of RAM, 3.5KB of storage, and I ran OthersOS on it. It's the best OS bc it only takes 0.1KB of storage.

[@FrancisXLord]

9 months late but since you asked: My first 'computer' was an Amstrad PCW8256. My first Windows based computer was a Dell Optiplex with 4 GB of ROM and 256 MB of RAM. It had an Intel Pentium 4 (2.4 GHz) processor, which sounded big at the time. I also had no idea how close Apple came to falling out of the game altogether, Jesus.

[@Laz3rCat95]

My first laptop was a Dell, and every one I've had after has been HP

[@danaeckel5523]

I'm surprised Gateway, e-Machines, Packard Bell were not on the list outside of "Others"

[@anmolagrawal5358]

Notice how the graph barely moves in 2008 Jee I wonder why

[@mrpetit2]

My first computer was a Sinclair ZX81. I had the 16kb memory expansion pack too. That was probably around '82 or '83... Later I got the ZX Spectrum (84/85) After that I got a Tulip AT PC (89 or so), and in '94 a 486.

[@BeyondLumen]

Im a bit confused ia packard bell the same as HP ? Because we had a 486 called packard bell

[@Jo-Jo8vs]

No, two different brands.

[@rodfer5406]

Lenovo is amazing; had no idea they had such. a large market share!

[@nolanroube1009]

I've had a lot of computers since my first Sinclair and Amstrad. Now I have 3 Lenovo laptops including 2 thinkpads. So I understand that they are first and they deserve it because it is a very serious brand.

[@ibrachaka8727]

So any single manufacturer under others is smaller than the last one on the list?

[@DR-wp6gy]

My first computer was a Commodore 64. Then later in the 1990 I bought a PC clone built from a local puter builder called BetaComp. Then in the 2000s i built my own AMD system.Now I own a Gateway laptop and HP desktop.

[@DGFAILURE]

Others control the market of computers

[@decibellone696]

unless you need to buy computers in bulk, say you're a company. few people buy a computer from any of these companies today. although you have to admire HP. and Dell... for feeding entireprize. the are everywhere in the communication industry. and if you dont get what that is these days... ask - how all your data moves from place to place.

Gateway 2000 was my starter computer. Then I got a Dell and every computer after that I built myself. Good times.

[@thenortherner3890]

2014 - The 'brands' started offering deals to the big firms, the firm I worked for went Lenovo, great laptops even back then and so cheap nearly everybody had one in the company.

Is it for laptops only or for the all desktop and notebooks personal computers?

[@alexanderkrasyuk]

dozen or so years ago the big brands seemed to offer more bang for the buck than no-names.

[@kiran9s]

Around 2003, IBM sold its PC devision to Lenovo, thats how it popped up in the chart. Also around the same time, India became a consumer power for computers. Around 2012, smart phones became very smart, and sell of desktops declined, leading "others" brand to fall behind, as big chunk of sales were laptops. I really want to buy an "others" computer, but I cant find it anywhere. Eould someone kindly help?

I would assume Dell was first, with all the corporate partners they have. IBM PS1 ftw

[@lralexei]

“Others" make reference to assembling equipments. It was cheaper to do that in the decade of the 90s to 2000, and it was still cheaper through the years 2000 until 2018. As you can see on the graph, in the year 2018, Lenovo took the lead, and branded computers became more and more accessible to everybody. Besides that, assembling your own computer is still cheap. My firs computer, a self-assembled computer with a pentium IV 1.8Ghz (the most powerfull processor at the moment.. wowww what remembers") with 256 MB of SDR SDRAM (Not even DDR..!! it was before that..!!) 40 GB of hard drive (IDE hard drive, SATA standar not exist yet..!!!) motherboard PC Chips (a cheaper motherboard, I couldn´t afford better one, I would have prefered an Intel motherboard..!!) integrated grafics and network 15" LG monitor, optical mouse (genios brand), IBM keyboard, samsung CD unit 52X (not even a burning one, not even DVD..!!!) and of course the best operating system Windows XP..!! the service pack 1 wasn´t release yet..!! a 56K fax modem, becasuse DLS and wifi internet not exist yet..!! year 2002 was awesome, I was the most happy teeneger on the world..!!
