Lenovo retained it’s top rank for a 2nd year in a row but it was a very close fight versus HP who was just 1 point shy of them.

Surprisingly, Apple slid from 5th place to 7th, after losing in on Innovation points while MSI slides down to a very low 9th place losing points due to very weak support.
