NOT FAIR!!!
The whole concept is grossly flawed.
If the poll was based on percent of volume sold it might be valid. But taken that the author also left out a major player and not remembering the root attack by Sony, a poll first of those buyers who swore they would NEVER buy another Sony product would have been a better starting point. Instead the author choose to ignore both elements, percent of buyers of a given laptop and percent of those who swore never again buy a Sony product that did.
