branding? pricing? perception? indifference (e.g. Apple)? coolness? fashion? celebrities? what?

Well according to these guys it would be Apple

Anyone who thinks Macs are slow or lack performance doesn't know them very well
PCMag
"it's by far the best operating system ever written for the vast majority of consumers, with dozens of new features that have real practical value"

With my experiences Ive noticed this trend:
Apple: looks nice, pricing is alright, performace is mediocre for the price. just make sure you like the operating software cause its different from the more widely known windows.
Hp: Lots of models to choose from. Performance and price is better than Apple. Quality is above par. Battery is average. Looks good with smaller 14 and 12 inch models. Cons: there are other better looking notebooks if you are picky.
Compac: a cheaper version of Hp; lower performance too!
Dell: sometimes can be very cheap with the online coupons, but the look is ugly...plus everyone has one, do you want that?
Sony: The best looking laptop. Many sizes and battery life. Lightweight, durable. CONS: high price, but you get name and style; the graphics card isnt the best around so this isnt for gamers. This is my preferred laptop brand.
Others: not worth my time.....but can be good if you want something that isnt really special.

let me think... HP, of course...
students need a practical, efficient and cost-friendly option. functions of a "student" -- not a student who plays online games -- is basic MS Office (or a cheeper version - Linux - of software suite) and internet functionality. My guess is cost is the most important factor, then reliability, then functionality / performance.

I only know this trend: large and desktop-replacements in dorm rooms. I didn't take close look at them.
