Amazon’s list of their most popular desktop computers shows Apple’s Mac mini and iMac G5 models hold five of the top six best sellers. Amazon’s list is now updated hourly:
#1 – Apple iMac G5 Desktop with 20″ (1.80 GHz PowerPC G5, 256 MB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, SuperDrive)
#2 – Apple Mac mini (G4 1.42 GHz, 256 MB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD-RW Drive)
#3 – Apple Mac mini (G4 1.25GHz, 256 MB RAM, 40 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD-RW Drive)
#4 – Apple iMac G5 Desktop with 17″ (1.60 GHz PowerPC G5, 256 MB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, Combo Drive)
#5 – Apple iMac G5 Desktop with 17″ (1.80 GHz PowerPC G5, 256 MB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, SuperDrive)
Amazon’s list can be found here.
This is updated hourly, so by the time others see this it may change.
That being said, it is cool to see at 9;43 AM CST.
Amazon doesn’t sell Dell commputers. If they did the top 5 spots would almost certainly belong to Dell.
Let’s not get too exicted here.
Actually,
Amazon does sell dell as well. But agreed not as much as directly from dell

and whose fault is it exactly that amazon doesn’t sell DELL computers?? I hope that puts things in perpesctive for you.
magic word “eyes” As in open up your eyes let’s put things in perpesctive!! who cares about DULL?
Another thing to remember is that Amazon does not sell very many computers at all.
True qtip. That list is not even close to being a true representation of computers sold by brand. Even though it says “updated hourly,” the truth is that that list probably does not even change daily. How many people do you think actually order a computer from amazon? It’d be a different story if it were Best Buy or some other major retailer that sells alot of computers. Nonetheless, it’s still cool to see.
The point is that Amazon is a high profile site, and there’s 5 Mac models sitting at the top of their best seller list.
Whether or not they sell 17 kajillion computers is irrelevant. It’s good exposure.
Lets see some quantities with the those rankings…
five of each or 50,000 of each?
Cpt. Obvious:”It’s good exposure.”
Who except MDN nerds go to that computer best seller listing hourly, daily, ever???

iPod top five

iBooks and Powerbooks also in the top five laptops, but not all of the spots are filled by Apple.
The Matfer Exopat Nonstick Baking/Roasting Sheet and the Eureka 4870DT Upright Vacuum are the top two sellers in the Amazon.com Home & Garden category.
Isn’t that cool?
In other words… who cares about the Amazon.com top sellers list?

Magic Word: Family

Thomas, you mean you actually have been checking the Amazon top computer list for at least over a year?!?!? Son, you gotta´ get a life.
Turn off the computer, turn off the TV, put away your iPod, change your “I (heart) Apple” t-shirt, go outside, meet people (and not your Star Trek, Star Wars or Warhammer buddies), get a job, interact. There is more to life than tracking the Amazon top computer seller list!!!!
Sheesh!
…and not your Star Trek, Star Wars or Warhammer buddies…
Who else is there?
not Thomas,
now you’re being silly- and rather rude.
It takes a few seconds to check the list. I’ve got the site bookmarked and I look in occassionally.
It’s one of the many ways I have of checking how Apple products are selling. (and are they selling at the moment?!!)
It does me good – because I’m a Macophile – and, after the next financial quarter, it’ll do my modest number of Apple shares good too.
Get some manners!
Thomas meet Charko, Charko meet Thomas.
You two are made for each other.
GET A LIFE people!!!
Or perhaps you are compulsive obsessive and don´t realize it. In that case….
GET MEDICATION!!!
If you look at the Comp USA top sellers, a Mac doesn’t show up until spot #20 with the iMac G5. The mini is ranked #26.
