Top 10 Most Popular Laptops for June 2012
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. Take a closer look at the notebooks that our visitors wanted to see the most during the month of June.
In that sense, think of this list as the “most clickable laptops of the month” … the notebooks that most of the people visiting this site are interested in learning about. Keep in mind that clicks directly on the “Most Viewed Laptops” list do not count toward the total - keeping 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 budget-friendly HP Pavilion g6 is holding onto the #1 position yet again with more than 16,000 page views for the month. The Dell Inspiron 15R made a surprise return to the Top 10 jumping all the way to second place thanks in part to recent deals at Dell.com and other retailers while Lenovo G570 held firm in third place.
