Apple’s popular laptop also grabbed the number one spot for the “Most Wished For” computer of the year.</p> <p>I’m not surprised at all to see the MacBook Pro take this position, I have the 13″ model and it’s a great machine. Earlier in the year I went ahead and <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/11/17/macbook-pro-8gb-ram-upgrade-review/">upgraded the MacBook Pro to 8GB RAM</a> and I’d love to get an SSD drive after <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/12/22/macbook-pro-ssd-vs-hdd/">seeing this video of the performance</a> boost. These kind of upgrades squeeze even more performance out of an already stellar laptop.</p> <p>Anyway, back to the official accolades… if you’re curious, here’s the press release from Amazon: <span id="more-11386"></span></p> <blockquote><p>SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–December 30, 2010– Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) today released its “Best of 2010″ lists, which include the bestselling, most-wished-for and favorite gift products as determined by Amazon.com customers in 2010.*</p> <p>Bestselling Products of 2010</p> <p>The following is a list of the bestselling products on Amazon.com in 2010 by total units sold:</p> <p> — Electronics: Kindle Wireless Reading Device (Wi-Fi) </p> <p> — Books: “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest” by Stieg Larsson </p> <p> — Kindle Books: “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” by Stieg Larsson </p> <p> — Movies: “The Blind Side” (DVD) </p> <p> — Video On Demand: “Sherlock Holmes” </p> <p> — Music: “The Gift” by Susan Boyle </p> <p> — MP3 Album: “Speak Now” by Taylor Swift </p> <p> — MP3 Song: “I Gotta Feeling” by The Black Eyed Peas </p> <p> — Video Games: Call of Duty: Black Ops </p> <p> — Wireless & Accessories: Samsung Captivate Android Phone (AT&T) </p> <p> <strong> — Computers: Apple MacBook Pro 13.3-Inch Laptop </strong></p> <p> — Software: Microsoft Office 2010 Home & Student </p> <p> — Home, Garden & Pets: Eureka Enviro Hard-Surface Floor Steamer </p> <p> — Grocery: Coffee People Donut Shop K-Cups for Keurig Brewers </p> <p> — Health & Personal Care: Omron Digital Pocket Pedometer </p> <p> — Beauty: Revitalash Eyelash Conditioner </p> <p> — Toys: Bananagrams </p> <p> — Baby: Vulli Sophie the Giraffe Teether </p> <p> — Clothing & Accessories: Levi’s Men’s 501 Jean </p> <p> — Shoes & Accessories: Ray-Ban New Wayfarer Sunglasses </p> <p> — Watches: Invicta Women’s Square Angel Diamond Stainless Steel Chronograph Watch </p> <p> — Sports & Outdoors: P90X Extreme Home Fitness Workout Program </p> <p> — Tools & Home Improvement: Black & Decker Ratcheting ReadyWrench </p> <p> — Automotive: Battery Tender Junior Battery Charger </p> <p> — Frustration-Free Packaging: Coffee People Donut Shop K-Cups for Keurig Brewers (Pack of 50) </p> <p>Most-Wished-For Products of 2010</p> <p>The following is a list of products that appeared most often on the Wish Lists of Amazon.com customers in 2010:</p> <p> — Electronics: Kindle Wireless Reading Device (Wi-Fi) </p> <p> — Books: “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest” by Stieg Larsson </p> <p> — Kindle Books: “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” by Stieg Larsson </p> <p> — Movies: “Inception” (Three-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo) </p> <p> — Video On Demand: “Dexter: The Fourth Season” </p> <p> — Music: “Speak Now” by Taylor Swift </p> <p> — Video Games: Call of Duty: Black Ops </p> <p> <strong> — Computers: Apple MacBook Pro 13.3-Inch Laptop </strong></p> <p> — Software: Microsoft Office 2010 Home & Student </p> <p> — Wireless: LG KP500 Cookie Unlocked Phone </p> <p> — Home, Garden & Pets: Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter </p> <p> — Grocery: Coffee People Donut Shop K-Cups for Keurig Brewers </p> <p> — Health & Personal Care: Crest 3D White Whitestrips with Advanced Seal Professional Effects Enamel Safe Dental Whitening Kit </p> <p> — Beauty: Coastal Scents 88 Color Makeup Palette </p> <p> — Toys: LEGO Ultimate Building Set </p> <p> — Baby: Vulli Sophie the Giraffe Teether </p> <p> — Clothing & Accessories: Classic Black Fedora Hat </p> <p> — Shoes & Accessories: UGG Australia Women’s Classic Short Boots </p> <p> — Jewelry: Sterling Silver Marcasite and Garnet </p> <p> — Watches: Citizen Men’s Eco-Drive Chronograph Canvas Watch </p> <p> — Sports & Outdoors: P90X Extreme Home Fitness Workout </p> <p> — Home Improvement: SOG Specialty Knives & Tools Tactical Tomahawk </p> <p> — Automotive: Sunforce 60-Watt Solar Charging Kit </p> <p>Most Popular Gift Products of 2010</p> <p>The following is a list of products most frequently purchased as gifts by Amazon.com customers in 2010:</p> <p> — Electronics: Kindle Wireless Reading Device (Wi-Fi) </p> <p> — Books: “Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion, and Purpose” by Tony Hsieh </p> <p> — Kindle Books: “Decision Points” by George W.
