Now that things are returning to normal, as classes begin again, I'll hopefully be able to get in the groove of providing consistent features. Hopefully.
This week, there's a couple interesting developments: Hitachi actually has one of their Prius notebooks in the top 10 seller list, and Apple is nowhere to be found on any lists at all (they previously held positions in the top 10 lists for desktops and notebooks).
