Philip Elmer-DeWitt reports for Fortune, “Look what Santa left under Amazon.com’s tree this Christmas morning:”

7 Acer netbooks
7 Apple MacBooks
4 Asus netbooks
2 Samsung netbooks
2 MSI netbooks
1 OLPC (One laptop per child) XO laptop
1 Lenova Ideapad laptop
1 Toshiba Satellite laptop

Elmer-Dewitt asks, “Can you spot the ringer on Amazon’s 2008 Christmas-day list of 25 bestselling notebook computers?”

“You guessed it. It’s those seven premium-priced Apple MacBooks in a shopping cart dominated by stripped-down netbooks, heavily discounted Windows notebooks and a 2-for-1 ‘$100′ laptop,” Elmer-Dewitt reports. “Except for the MacBooks and one $599 Toshiba, every computer on that list sells for less than $500.”
