Choice Australia has ranked the top notebooks in Australia with Toshiba, ASUS and Fujitsu taking the top three spots.
The consumer testing organisation often works in conjunction with Consumer Reports in the USA, who earlier this month paused the Apple sales juggernaut by slamming the antenna performance of their new iPhone 4.
According to Choice, the top three notebooks were the Toshiba Satellite L550 which sells for $1,540. It scored a mark of 78 per cent out of 100.
