People use laptops of various brands such as Compaq, Lenovo, and Toshiba. However, many people think that the laptop company itself manufactures the laptop they are using. However, it is not true that laptop companies manufacture laptops. The truth is the laptop companies buy laptops from Original Design Manufactures (ODM) and market them under the company name.

In real sense, the true manufactures of laptops are Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). There are many such ODMs and OEMs like Asus, Acer, Arima and many more. Few exceptions like Apple and Sony manufacture their own laptops, and that too of nominal quantity.
