Laptop Magazine said Apple Inc. has fallen from its top position on its 10 best and worst brands ranking for 2017 to fifth place, after the iPhone maker drew “modest” review scores.

The online review site evaluates the 10 biggest laptop brands for its annual ranking and decides which offer the best combination of quality, innovation, support, design and value.

“Because of its modest review scores, expensive products and lack of ports, Apple AAPL, -1.59% fell all the way down to fifth place after receiving top honors every year since the Best and Worst Brands debuted in 2010,” the site wrote.

Lenovo 992, +0.18% took top spot with a 90 out of 100 rating, followed by Asus 2357, with 86 out of 100, Dell with 83 out of 100 and HP HPQ, -1.39% with 82 out of 100]. Apple tied with Acer 2353, +0.19% with a 78 out of 100 rating, for fifth place on the list.

Lenovo “leaped into first place on the strength of its many highly-rated laptops, groundbreaking technologies and vastly improved customer support,” the site wrote. Asus took second place because of its “deep, value-filled lineup.”
