Today's top ten best selling laptop computer list on Amazon dot com
July 8, 2009
Today’s best selling Apple laptop on Amazon dot com is Apple MacBook Pro MB990LL/A laptop computer
Today, on Amazon dot com the best selling Apple laptop computer is Apple MacBook Pro MB990LL/A, which is also the best selling laptop computer on Amazon. Featuring a precision unibody enclosure crafted from a single block of aluminum, the MacBook Pro is thinner and lighter than its predecessor as well as stronger and more durable. And it feels strong and durable, perfect for life inside and outside your briefcase or backpack.
The standard aluminum electro-static trackpad has been replaced with a new glass Multi-Touch trackpad, which provides 40 percent more tracking area than before. Use two fingers to scroll up and down a page. Pinch to zoom in and out. Rotate an image with your fingertips. Swipe with three fingers to flip through your photo libraries. Swipe with four fingers to show your desktop, view all open windows, or switch applications. The entire trackpad surface is also a button, allowing you to both track and click virtually anywhere on the trackpad. And you can easily enable multiple virtual buttons in software, such as right-clicking. The keyboard has also been improved, with the rigid aluminum keyboard webbing cut precisely to hold the keys, which are curved to perfectly fit fingers. And it's illuminated, so when you're in low-light settings, such as airplanes or conference rooms, you can always see what you're typing.
The MacBook Pro includes a new 13-inch, LED-backlit glass display. The 13-inch display is made of edge-to-edge, uninterrupted glass for a smooth, seamless surface and features LED backlighting that uses up to 30 percent less energy than its predecessor.
This 13-inch MacBook Pro (model MB990LL/A) also includes Apple's innovative built-in newly engineered notebook battery that lasts up to 7 hours on a single charge without adding thickness, weight or cost. The built-in battery is using Adaptive Charging and delivers up to 1000 recharges before it reaches 80 percent of its original capacity--nearly three times the lifespan of conventional batteries. Using the Apple-developed technology called Adaptive Charging, a microchip on the laptop computer battery constantly communicates with the computer to determine the optimal way to charge its cells, adjusting the current up and down depending on a variety of conditions.
MacBook Pro MB990LL/A is powered by the 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 3 MB L2 cache and 1066 MHz front-side bus. Video is powered by the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated graphics processor with up to a 5x performance boost supporting Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on an external display, both at millions of colors. The MacBook Pro includes a next generation Mini DisplayPort, which delivers a pure digital signal that can drive up to a 30-inch widescreen display. The Mini DisplayPort is ultra-compact at just 10 percent the size of a full DVI connector, and is compatible with Apple's 24-inch Cinema Display. Adapters are also available for using VGA, DVI/HDMI and Dual-Link DVI displays.
Other hardware features include a 160 GB hard drive, 2 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 RAM (two SO-DIMMs of 1024 MB) 1066 MHz, (which can be upgraded to 8 GB), an 8x combo Superdrive (for burning dual-layer DVDs as well as CDs), built-in Gigabit Ethernet for high-speed networking, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), FireWire 800 port, Mini DisplayPort video output (for DVI and VGA connections), and a Secure Digital card slot for easy access to digital photos and audio stored on SD and MMC memory cards. The built-in 802.11n wireless networking provides up to five times the performance and twice the range of 802.11g, but it's also backward-compatible with 802.11a/b/g routers, enabling you to communicate with the a wide variety of Wi-Fi resources. It works seamlessly with the new AirPort Extreme with 802.11n.
It comes pre-loaded with Apple's Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard operating system, and is ready to run the Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard operating system. It also comes with the iLife '09 suite of applications, including iPhoto, iMovie, Garageband, and iTunes.
Measures 12.78 x 8.94 x 0.95 inches (WxDxH) and weighs 4.5 pounds (including battery)
Environmental Considerations:
Apple has worked hard to eliminate many of the toxins that are a common part of laptop computer manufacturing. Apple engineers removed the majority of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) from circuit boards, internal cables, connectors, insulators, adhesives, and more in the MacBook Pro.
Because Apple makes both the hardware and the software for the MacBook, they're designed to work together to produce a smarter product that uses less electricity. For instance, to reduce energy consumption, the hard drive spins down automatically when inactive. MacBook Air also decides which processor--CPU or GPU--is best suited to efficiently perform a task. The LED-backlit display in the MacBook Pro is another feature that plays an important part in conserving energy, consuming 30 percent less power than conventional LCD displays. And the display is designed to dim when you enter a darkened room.
The MacBook Pro meets the stringent low power requirements set by the EPA, giving it ENERGY STAR certification. MacBook also meets the latest efficiency requirements of ENERGY STAR Version 5.0 Specification for Computers before its July 2009 effective date.
The MacBook Pro has also earned the highest rating of EPEAT Gold. The Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool, or EPEAT, evaluates the environmental impact of a product based on how recyclable it is, how much energy it uses, and how it's designed and manufactured.
Included Software:
Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard (includes iTunes, Time Machine, Quick Look, Spaces, Spotlight, Dashboard, Mail, iChat, Safari, Address Book, QuickTime, iCal, DVD Player, Photo Booth, Front Row, Xcode Developer Tools)

What's in the Box:
The Apple MacBook Pro laptop computer, display cleaning cloth, 60W MagSafe Power Adapter, AC wall plug, power cord, install/restore DVDs, printed and electronic documentation.

The rumored Apple netbook: true or false
For some time there was a rumor about Apple attacking the netbook market. It is obvious that the netbook computer market is the fastest growing segment of the personal computer market ever. The story says that Taiwanese display maker Wintek Corp. is providing 9.7 to 10 inch screens to huge PC contract manufacturer Quanta Computer, and that the device will be on the market in the second half of the year. Everything about Apple’s history would suggest that Steve Jobs will want to protect his profits, rather than dive into the muck of a nearly-profitless business just to maintain share. If this device will be a Apple labeled netbook will see in the future.

For future Apple laptops online buyers
When I was searching thru customer reviews about Apple MacBook Air laptop on Amazon.com I found this comment that I believe it will be helpful for future Apple online customers. It’s about an undisclosed written internal policy regarding online orders that cannot be canceled once launched and not delivered. (quote)“I purchased this item direct from Apple. I discovered that the MacBook Air did not have a changeable battery. Now for the worst part. About 30 minutes after I ordered the laptop I called back to cancel. Apple told me that the order cannot be cancelled that it had already been processed for shipment. Needless to say they told me it was part of the sales "agreement". I was not informed of any such sales "agreement" nor could the sales supervisor produce it. Then it turned into "well its more of a internal policy". But they are not allowed to show me the policy. My point is BEWARE of the hidden and written policies of Apple. I know this review will not deter those people that already are familiar with MAC's but for those of you who are considering switching from a PC, this is a whole new "ball game" I will never deal with anything Apple again, nor would I ever recommend them. Companies, who charge a premium for a product should ensure that customers are satisfied, not cut them off once they get your credit card number.”

Apple acknowledges graphics glitch on latest MacBook and MacBook Pro notebooks
For MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops users and future buyers. On April 14th, Katie Marsal posted on Apple insider about the graphics glitch widely reported by users of 13-inch MacBook and 15-inch MacBook Pro notebooks, both of which began shipping in February. On the Apple discussion forums users say that QuickTime playback of video files is routinely marred by flickering or the appearance of "washed out" graphics on their new machines. Users are also reporting instances of graphics corruption on their machines when scrolling through Safari webpages or Mail messages (both of which rely on Apple's Webkit framework). The forums conclusion is that the anomalies are the result of a software glitch rather than a flaw within hardware. For its part, Apple over the weekend formally acknowledged the issues for the first time in an email response to one customer: "Apple has received reports similar to the behavior you are describing and we are investigating those reports,”.

Latter update: I added this funny Apple pride from back in 1998 online interface, taken from the internet Archive. Enjoy the photo.
Short entry for today on best selling laptops on Amazon.com
Today on Amazon.com, the first ten places on best selling laptops list are occupied by Apple and Asus with MacBook and Eee Pc lines of products. The two laptop manufacturers share the top places evenly, each one claiming five places for his products. Good job and hurray for them. I also checked if Sony who also claimed one of the top places was out of stock on Amazon.com but its entry level Vaio NR series laptop was on 19th place and it is not out of stock.

About PriceGrabber.com and Best Selling Laptops and Notebooks
In a previous post about laptop buyers and Microsoft Windows where I argued a point made by Preston Gralla on his post about the same topic, I mentioned PriceGrabber.com related to best selling laptops. Now it’s time to go deep into this matter. PriceGrabber.com is an online comparison shopping engine with approximately 26 million consumers each month and up-to-date daily pricing of products supplied by more than 12,000 sellers. It’s pointless to say that we cannot provide a best selling laptops list from PriceGrabber.com since this is only an online shopping comparison engine and he cannot track online sales made on online stores that PriceGrabber.com is monitoring. The tool provided to online shoppers instead is a most popular list that tracks the clicks on items provided by its users. The conclusion is that PriceGrabber.com tracks the online shopping intention and not the actual transaction closing between buyer and the online shop. Considering the purpose of PriceGraber.com engine I think that this information can be reliable though. Most of us do not visit an online shopping comparison engine if we do not actually want to buy something. So, from now I will take a look at PriceGrabber.com’s most popular laptop list. Initially I wanted to use the most rated list too, but since the top rated product in laptops list is Powerbook G4 notebook I believe that this list is not relevant to our purpose. Below I present u the Top 15 Most Popular Laptops on PriceGrabber.com on April 12th, 2008:

Is the Apple MacBook Air truly the "world's thinnest" notebook ?
As I promised before I am back with more info about Apple MacBook Air MB003LL/A, one of the best selling laptops on Amazon.com. Today is the 7th place on best selling laptops list and on the 3rd place in best selling Apple laptops. This post is the first from a series of post that I will write about this product and his family. I think I need to do that in order to find why at this price is one of the best selling laptop on Amazon.com. Apple MacBook Air MB003LL/A was made to cover the market rising need for ultra portable notebooks. Until recently many of the laptops were too bulky and heavy to satisfy the customers need for easy and comfortable portability and work on the road.
And now back to the post title. I will try to answer to this question. Is the MBA truly the “world’s thinnest notebook?
The company press release for the MacBook Air states in its headline that the MacBook Air is the "world's thinnest notebook" and in the copy that (quote) "its maximum height of 0.76-inches is less than the thinnest point on competing notebooks".
However, I found on everymac.com and as noted by Wired and CNet, that the Mitsubishi Pedion released in 1998 was 0.7244 inches thick (1.84 cm) and the Sharp Muramasas released in 2003 was a mere 0.54 inches thick (1.3716 cm), both smaller than the thickest point on the MacBook Air.
The Pedion and Muramasas were uniformly thick rather than tapered like the MacBook Air, however, so some might note that the average thickness of the MacBook Air is smaller or that these systems from many years ago are not "competing notebooks" so the point is regardless.
Basically, the MacBook Air is an extremely thin notebook, with the cost of sacrificing the connectivity, optical drive, performance ( not the most powerful processor in the Apple MacBooks class ) and the loss of possibility of changing the battery, but whether or not it is truly the "world's thinnest" notebook is largely up to interpretation. In conclusion we hope that notebooks will continue to get thinner and thinner after this MacBook Air dimensions challenge.

More on Apple MacBook MB403LL/A best selling Apple laptop on Amazon.com
This entry level model is the best selling Apple laptop today on Amazon.com and second place after Sony VAIO VGN-NR240E/S in all laptops best selling list. “Stylishly and intelligently designed”- this way the product description starts on the online Amazon.com store, and looking at it I have to agree with it. We will also meet all the innovations present on the MacBook product line. The integrated iSight camera, the MagSafe power adapter connector with the magnetic connection instead of a physical one, which won't send MacBook flying off a table if you happen to trip over a power cord, and the two finger easy scroll trackpad are the ones that I like the most. Unlike the Pro the video card in the MacBook uses part of your system memory and that's not a big deal if you aren't doing complex things like 3D Rendering or gaming.
The Apple MacBook MB403LL/A laptop also provides all the connectivity you will ever need: usb, firewire and wireless built-in AirPort Extreme 802.11n technology and takes good care of the media input/output. Below I will give u more features that I haven’t presented you in my previous post :
· 8x slot-loading SuperDrive with the following write speeds: 8x DVD±R; 4x DVD±R DL (double layer); 4x DVD±RW; 24x CD-R; 10x CD-RW
· Mini-DVI port for video output (VGA adapter and mini-DVI to DVI adapter sold separately)
· Built-in stereo speakers and omnidirectional microphone
· Combined optical digital audio input/audio line in
· Combined optical digital audio output/headphone out
· Two USB 2.0 ports, one FireWire 400 port
· Built-in full-size keyboard with 78 (U.S.) or 79 (ISO) keys, including 12 function keys, 4 arrow keys (inverted "T" arrangement), and embedded numeric keypad
· Solid-state scrolling trackpad for precise cursor control; supports two-finger scrolling, tap, double-tap, and drag capabilities
· Kensington cable lock slot
· Meets ENERGY STAR requirements
· Measures 12.78 x 8.92 x 1.08 inches (WxDxH) and weighs 5 pounds
Included Software:Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard (includes Time Machine, Quick Look, Spaces, Spotlight, Dashboard, Mail, iChat, Safari, Address Book, QuickTime, iCal, DVD Player, Photo Booth, Front Row, Xcode Developer Tools); iLife '08 (includes iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iWeb, GarageBand); Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac Test Drive; iWork '08 (30-day trial).
In the box you will find the MacBook laptop, 60W MagSafe Power Adapter, AC wall plug, and power cord, lithium-polymer battery, install/restore DVDs, printed and electronic documentation.
Built in automatic backup capability (Time Machine) is a plus. The bonus is that you can dual boot with BootCamp and run all your Windows stuff that you want or need. Battery life on the MacBook seems to be quite good. The results when tested by ars technica under three different scenarios:
High usage: Playing a DVD, brightness set to half, "best performance" setting selected in the energy settings. -3:13 hours
Normal usage: Playing a stream in iTunes, WiFi and Bluetooth on, half brightness, "best performance" in energy settings -4:05 hours
Very low usage: No apps running, WiFi off, Bluetooth off, brightness set very low, "e;best performance" in energy settings -5:40 hours
A broad hardware review you cad read at ars technica. With details here, here and here.The bottom line: we have in Apple MacBook MB403LL/A a user friendly laptop, sharp looking with good performance and connectivity, recommended for use when on the road but not so good for power users or gamers. And, like someone before me said, don't fool yourself into thinking the less expensive MacBook is less worthy for general computing tasks than the more sophisticated MacBook Pro. It's very elegant looking and powerful. If you don't need the power and size of the pro, I think you'll be happy and the money you save can be put toward other things.

From (quote) "The laptop and the notebook: A fable" and some comments
"Once upon a time there was a Laptop (AAPL) that belonged to a mid-sized wazir of the realm. It was a rather large laptop as laptops go, with a big, roomy heart filled with all kinds of good things, an impressive collection of ports, and big, strong hardware that could stand the test of any ....."- teaser for a nice fable published by Stanley Bing on his blog with Apple MacBook Air as one of the main characters. MacBook Air notebook is depicted more like a starlet than a star of the story, where slender shapes and sweet lines trumps functionality . With this fable he draws a smile on our face and, arguing some good points, he reminds us the power that marketing and trends have over our buying choices. In the comments to this fable I noticed two issues. The USB hub that helps surpassing the lack of connectivity options that many are not aware of it's existence and the now forbidden possibility to bring spare batteries on carry-on luggage when we travel by air.
And now, for the big finish, I will reproduce a comment by Oz Crosby about what MacBook Air we dream to be (quote): “ … The Mac Book Aire is like an interesting concept car. Has some features i REALLY like, but it’s not ready for the streets i drive. What i wan to see, in the same case as my current MacBook Pro:More battery life, partially achieved by having a 500 gig hard drive with a 64-128 gig solid state drive sitting on top of it. the solid state drive will have the operating system and my every day tasks (email, word processing, etc) on it. Pictures, movies, music, TV shows, big spreadsheets etc will reside on the hard drive. There will be one more USB port, a 10-key pad in the setup (there’s room, just re-think the keyboard), and everything innovative the iPhone has brought to the party. And a truly faster, more efficient processor - not just another 6% incremental gain. Give us an entry level model, Apple, to keep that magic price point, then let us road warriors put about $1,000 of extras on to make the laptop of the future.” Now I will end this post about what MacBook Air notebook is not, and what we dream it to be and I want to announce a latter a short review about Air notebook the 14th place keeper in the today's best selling laptops list on Amazon.com.

Another Best Selling Laptop on Amazon.Com: Apple MacBook Pro MB133LL/A
This days on Amazon.com is Apple MacBook Pro MB133LL/A ( yesterday April 3rd, 2008 ).The next generation of the Macbook Pro laptops were released on February 26th, 2008. This release includes several upgrades over the previous generation Macbook Pro; most notably they include the new Intel Core 2 Duo Penryn core processors. Also, the Macbook Pros features the same Multitouch trackpad as found on the Apple Macbook Air notebooks released a month earlier. You’ll be able to use two-finger scrolling, pinch, rotate, etc. just like you do with your iPhone.
Technical Details
· 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 3 MB on-chip shared L2 cache running 1:1 with processor speed,
· 2 GB RAM (two SO-DIMM) 677 MHz DDR2 SD-RAM (PC2-5300), 200 GB 5400 rpm Serial ATA hard drive, slot load 8x Super Drive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
· One FireWire 400, one FireWire 800, two USB 2.0 ports, and ExpressCard/34 slot
· Built-in 10/100/1000BASE-T (Gigabit); built-in 54 Mbps AirPort Extreme (802.11n); built-in Bluetooth 2.0+EDR
· 15.4-inch (diagonal), 1440 by 900 resolution, matte TFT LED widescreen display with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT with 256 MB of GDDR3 memory and dual-link DVI
· Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard; iLife ’08 (includes iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iWeb, GarageBand)
· Package Contents: MacBook Pro, Display cleaning cloth, 85W MagSafe Ppower Adapter, AC wall plug, and power cord, Lithium-polymer battery, DVI to VGA adapter, Install/restore DVDs, Printed and electronic documentation
· Lithium Ion Battery Type with a life of about 6 hours
· 85W MagSafe Power Adapter with cable management system
· Your MacBook Pro comes with 90 days of telephone support and a one-year limited warranty. Purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan and get three years of service and support. Only the AppleCare Protection Plan provides you with direct telephone support from Apple technical experts and the assurance that repairs will be handled by Apple-certified technicians using genuine Apple parts.
A memory upgrade to 4 GB is recommended to reach higher performance. “Its performance pedigree was clearly on display with the intensive multi-tasking we put the laptop through. We surfed the net while burning a CD, encoding a movie and copying files to our network server. These are all CPU intensive activities and would have brought any other laptop to its knees. The Macbook pro sailed right through these tasks and did not look stressed.”- was the tech2.com team conclusion.My belief is that there is nothing more to ad – high level performance flows through it’s veins. The build quality is outstanding for a mass-produced device. Keyboard It feels solid and responsive. Plus, its backlighting is helpful when typing in dark environments. MacBook Pro laptop has a dedicated video processor. This is beneficial for driving large external displays and running graphics-intensive applications. LED screens looks much brighter (possibly the combination of whites and the better contrast) Also know that Apple claims the LED screen's efficiency gives it 30 extra minutes of battery life over the CCFL versions. MacBook Pro laptop sounds as good as it looks, with unprecedented attention to audio detail. For musicians on the go, MacBook Pro offers pristine sound through crisp, clear stereo speakers, a built-in microphone, and optical digital audio on both input and output. Also the MacBook Pro laptop helps protect your data if it detects a fall, by parking the hard drive head during fast changes in orientation. The MacBook is innovative right down to the power cord. The MacBook Pro power adapter with MagSafe connector is just that: a magnetic connection instead of a physical one. So, if you happen to trip over a power cord, you won't send MacBook Pro flying off a table or desk; the cord simply disconnects, without damage to either the cord or the system. As an added nicety, this means less wear on the connectors. The new hafnium-infused circuitry–which reduces electrical current leakage in transistors–conserves even more energy, giving you more time away from the wall outlet. The Richmond born operating system fans can install Windows using the Bootcamp software. The provided software and drivers worked flawlessly and u can have Windows booting into its final screen in no time.
In conclusion we've only got this to say - The Macbook Pro laptop with OSX is in a different league. And one more thing to notice: Amazon.com even beat out a Mac Mall an identically spec'd refurbished MacBook Pro laptop with this deal and with far less rebate hassle too!
