Most Popular Laptops for December 2008

Each month we compile data for the number of times a particular notebook is viewed on this site’s product pages to get an idea for what mainstream consumers are looking at and thinking about buying. While these laptops aren’t necessarily the most popular in terms of sales, they are the most popular based on the number of times our visitors clicked on them.

In that sense, think of this list as the most clickable laptops of the month … the notebooks that most of the people on this site are interested in learning about. Keep in mind that clicks directly on the Most Popular Laptops list do notcount toward the total in order to keep the list as fair as possible each month. The only clicks that count toward the monthly totals come from web searches like Google or from visitors who have clicked on a laptop after visiting our Notebook Database or inside our forums.

The last month of 2008 didn’t have too many surprises in terms of what notebooks our readers wanted to see. In fact, most of the laptops on the list have previously landed on the Top 10 list. That said, the list for 2008 reflects the fact that consumers are looking for good values in hard economic times. Features and performance are important but so is price.
