My own laptop brand tier list (Windows laptops), based on their products:
Tier 1: Lenovo, HP
Tier 1.5: Acer, Dell
Tier 2: Asus, MSI
Tier 2.5: Clevo (barebone), Quanta (barebone), Huawei/Honor & Xiaomi/Redmi (can go to tier 2 if after sales are good)
Tier 3: Tongfang (barebone)
Not worth mentioning: Razer, Microsoft
Yeah I prefer to rate models instead of brands, but some may want to know as well

It's not just the laptop model itself - to me they are still lacking in QA+QC. Also, after sales is a big weakness, no matter how good the reseller is
Clevo should be in tier 2 but their products aren't competitive anymore
-not even a single Ryzen 4000 mobile laptop
-their new thin and light gaming laptop - PC50, don't have good thermals, while many thin gaming laptops nowadays can achieve decent thermals
-plastic used feels cheap
Some of their new products are half baked:
-Intel 10th gen NH/NP line runs hot, unlike 9th gen, despite decent cooling solution - apparently is a BIOS issue
-NH5xAC/AD/AF is decent, but software is buggy. There are a few issues like 1660Ti GPU runs hot (solved with BIOS update), 3950X incompatibility etc
For Tongfang, I've made a seperate post here: https://linustechtips.com/main/profile/456522-genexis_x/?status=276097&type=status -
