"Defunct" list suggestions

It would be helpful if the "Defunct" list had one or two additional columns (though, could potentially be the same single additional column):

"Defunct Date" or "Date Defunct", which specifies the date on which the entity became defunct
"Acquired Date" or "Date Acquired", which specifies the date on which the entity was acquired by another entity

The only issue I foresee for combining the two columns into one is if the defunct and acquisition dates differ. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:7080:FF41:22EE:BE09:1BFF:FE05:90EC (talk) 15:03, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Google's Chromebook

Google has released a laptop, the chromebook, with it's own operating system, my source: www dot google dpt com/intl/en/chrome/devices/ 74.124.101.211 (talk) 07:35, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's not by Google. The Chromebook just installs all Google apps in different computers, such as Acers, Samsungs, etc. Cheers, Zalunardo8 (talk) 15:18, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Asus is not an acronym hence not ASUS

Asus is not an acronym even though the company name is written as ASUSTek Computer Inc. The brand is Asus. -Polytope4d (talk) 11:54, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Major/Other

What are the criteria for putting a manufacturer in major or in other section? Number of notebook produced? Number of notebook sold? Annual gross? Need quotation here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.201.75.204 (talk) 01:54, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

For brands it is number of notebook sold. There was a reference, but it somehow dissapeared. Feel free to add fresh reference (and possible clean-up majors list. --Jklamo (talk) 10:06, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Panasonic makes Satellite, wot?

Alienware is not "Defunct"

Alienware was acquired by Dell, but it was never "defunct". Removed from that section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8803:1C00:A1D0:1859:EB5E:F636:6A8 (talk) 03:08, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Acer not on the list?

It seems Acer is not mentioned in the main list, nor other sections. I do not know if this was intentional, for it is mentioned elsewhere in the article, but I believe it was forgotten in creating this page. I would not want to add erroneous information, and so will not at this moment in time edit this article. Kc110521 (talk) 07:55, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It was some old vandalism. I have updated the list.Jklamo (talk) 09:08, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Market shares are not for laptop computers

The source article for the market shares lists tells the market share of all personal computers, not laptops. 2003:DF:5F47:7038:2092:7896:310B:62B2 (talk) 07:30, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
