Apple tops Amazon wish lists

Apple products account for three of the top four slots in Amazon’s ‘Computers and Accessories’ Wish List, though the ASUS Eee PC is the most wished-for computer there.

Macs also hold the top three slots on Amazon’s ‘Most Wished For’ laptops list, says Fortune, which also notes that while they may be the most wished for products, not every wish comes true as two PCs head the list of ‘Most Gifted’ machines.

All this follows the shopping meltdown of Black Friday, when Macs, iPods and other products were literally bouncing out the doors of online retailers everywhere. It precedes ‘Cyber Monday’, another traditional tipping-point or online sales.

I am a big mac user and I am picking up a Asus Eee today.  They come with windows but you can run Linux on them which is what I plan today.  I can input data on location with some cheap netbook rather then drag around my MBP.  I don't read that PC based computers are a hot item, I see that netbook computers are a new toy people want to play with this year.

if you want a netbook, get a Dell Mini 10v. It is by far the best netbook for hackintoshing OS X on. Thats my plans for christmas

With a CPU just about as powerful as a 5 year old iBook, I have to agree that this machine is awesome enough to play low resolution videos at 15 fps!

Add $180 for Mac OS X and iLife, and you've got a winner starting at a mere $500.

I'd much rather have a factory refurb MacBook for $750.  It's a much beter deal.

Really? they were "literally bouncing out the doors?" the point of "literally" is so u can tell when things LITERALLY happen. apple products did not get up and bounce out the doors of web pages...
