What place was the MBP before this month? It's not listed there.

Otherwise, it's cool to see some new laptops out there. The Toshiba looks like it offers a wide range of options. Also not surprising to see that four of the top five threads of the month have to do with Vista.

 

I think last month it was 11, but I'm not sure.

 

Thanks for the info! I still want to see Asus up there.

 

It was #12 back in January!
