The limited testing they do maybe, however they do now have corporate sponsors.

What was that ranking for, reliability or value or specs, and are those ratings from best to last? There are better reviews out their, and infact one major review rates Asus as the best for reliability and quality based on users feedback.
best to worse. this was from users, based on reliability and quality. On a side note I'm sure I can find reviews to say whatever you want them to say.

True, and some companies pay for good reviews. Here is a link to a good one that I would consider far better than consumers, as they have a 30,000 laptop sample! www.engadget.com , and toshiba and asus come out on top. Many of consumers subscribers tend to be older and less technical, so I wouldn't put much faith in what their readers feedback about computer brands.
